## Product description

Cycling Coach AI is a personalized AI-powered cycling coaching platform. It generates complete training plans based on each cyclist's FTP, VO2Max estimate, weight, age, available training days, goals, and discipline (road, gravel, MTB, criterium, cyclocross, time trial, randonneur).

Unlike template-based platforms, plans are generated from scratch for each user and adapt daily. After every completed session, the AI analyzes performance, fatigue indicators, RPE feedback, and wellness data (HRV, sleep via Garmin) to adjust upcoming sessions. If you sleep poorly on Tuesday, Wednesday's key interval session is scaled back automatically.

The product is built for amateur and competitive cyclists who want the training quality of a human coach at a fraction of the cost. A 15-day free trial is available.

The app is available on web (all devices) and iOS. An Android app is in development.
