Proactive coaching: the coach reaches out to you

Today IntervalCoach mostly responds when you open the app or ask it something. The direction we're building toward: a coach that comes to you, and surfaces the things you wouldn't think to ask about.

It works as one layer with three steps:

• Detect: as your data arrives (a new ride or run, fresh recovery, a shifted week) the coach checks whether there is something genuinely worth knowing.
• Decide: a relevance gate, so you are only interrupted when it is earned. No notification spam.
• Deliver: insights land in an in-app coach feed and a notification, written in your coach's voice.

Examples of what the coach might bring up on its own:

• A new power record, or a jump in your threshold
• A session that beat what we predicted for it
• An early heads-up when your recovery trend hints you might be getting sick
• A plan that rebalanced itself after a missed week
• Your goal drifting out of reach, while there is still time to act

We will start with the positive, high-confidence signals, so the coach earns your trust before it ever sends a warning. Proactive two-way conversations, where the coach opens the chat itself, will come to Max.
