AI voice coach for road cyclists

Your coach.
In your ear.

It knows your watts. It knows your heart rate. It knows you. And you can talk to it.

A private AI cycling coach that rides along with you — and talks with you while you're out there.

Watch It Coach a Real Ride

A full ride in about 3 minutes, with everything the coach said. No sign-up.

During your ride

A coach who knows how hard you're working.

Hands on the bars, eyes on the road. Ask how you're doing and talk it through — your coach answers with your effort right now in mind.

Example conversation · illustrative

You“Can I hold this pace for another five minutes?”

Coach“Your heart rate keeps creeping up at the same power. Back off a touch and you'll finish strong.”

You“How much is a touch?”

Coach“Ten watts. You'll barely feel it — your pulse will.”

Indoor training

Make every interval count.

On the trainer, your coach follows the session and helps you decide when to push on and when to stop — without breaking your rhythm.

Example conversation · illustrative

You“One more interval?”

Coach“Go for it. Your power held steady across all four.”

You“Same target?”

Coach“Same target. If it drops in the last minute, call it there — still a good session.”

A cyclist in her garage pulling on her gloves before a ride, talking to her coach through a headset.

Before your ride

Plan your ride. Just by talking.

Talk through how you're feeling and what you want from today. Plan your intervals or choose today's ride — without endless menus.

Example conversation · illustrative

You“Legs feel good today. What's the plan?”

Coach“Then let's do intervals. Your next ride isn't until Saturday, so you've got time to recover.”

You“How many?”

Coach“Five times four minutes. Start the first one easy — the last two are where it counts.”

A cyclist resting on a stone wall above the coast after her ride, still in kit, talking it through with her coach.

After your ride

The ride ends. The conversation doesn't.

Talk through the ride, understand the hard moments and decide what to work on next.

Example conversation · illustrative

You“That last climb felt terrible. What happened?”

Coach“Nothing went wrong. That was a hard session on top of yesterday's — heavy legs on the last climb are exactly what we'd expect.”

You“So no need to worry?”

Coach“None. Easy spin tomorrow and you'll be fresh for the weekend.”

Behind the conversation

Built on training science. Made for conversation.

Your coach doesn't guess. It works with the measures coaches and sports scientists rely on: power zones based on your FTP, training load, W′ balance and how your heart rate responds to the power you're putting out. The AI's job is to explain what those numbers mean for you — right now, in plain words.

  • Your zones, not generic ones

    Power zones, normalized power and training load are built on your own FTP — heart-rate zones on your own heart-rate values.

  • W′ balance

    Tracks how much of your anaerobic reserve is left during hard efforts, so your coach knows when to push and when to hold back.

  • Heart rate in context

    Your pulse is read against your power. Cardiac drift at steady watts tells a different story than a hard effort.

The interpretation and the advice come from AI and can be wrong. How you feel always comes first.

What it does

Everything it does for you. Before, during and after.

01 · Before

Before the ride

  • Plans today in a two-minute chat: how much time you have, how fresh you are, what's coming up.
  • Turns any workout into blocks, from a photo, a name or your own words.
  • Tells you what today will cost tomorrow, before you start.
  • Brings in your training history from intervals.icu.

02 · During

During the ride

  • Calls every interval change with your target watts or pace, and counts the reps down.
  • Spots your bests as they fall, and tells you early when one is in reach.
  • Watches your reserve: warns before you blow up, tells you when it's full again.
  • Keeps count of your goal: stimulus done, minutes missing, when to back off to stay fresh for race day.
  • Answers anything hands-free: hold your headset button and talk. Music keeps playing.
  • Stays quiet when nothing matters. You choose how chatty it is.

On your roads

It knows where you ride

  • Knows your climbs from your own rides: how long, how steep, your best up there.
  • Knows where the road is free: stretches you ride without stopping, hills included, announced before they start.
  • Live on a segment: seconds ahead of or behind your best, then your time, your place, and how fresh you were when you set it.
  • Rides with your ghost on roads you know: faster or slower than usual, and whether the same speed costs fewer watts than it used to.
  • Knows your usual loops: how far and how long to home at today's pace, the last free stretch, and asks when it isn't sure which one you ride.
  • Compares with your own rides: the same road wherever you started, similar length, last session.

03 · After

After the ride

  • A short debrief: what worked, what to change next time.
  • When you'll be fresh again for hard work.
