AI Cycling Coach costs nothing. Your coach runs on your own OpenAI API key, so the only cost is the tokens it uses โ€” billed by OpenAI to your account, not by us.

No subscription

No plans, no card details, no trial that runs out. Every feature is included.

Your key, your usage

You stay in control

Set a monthly budget limit with OpenAI, and swap or revoke your key at any time from your profile.

How to get an OpenAI API key

  1. Sign in or create an account at platform.openai.com.
  2. Open Billing and add a payment method plus a few dollars of credit. API usage is billed separately from a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
  3. Go to API keys, click Create new secret key, name it "AI Cycling Coach" and copy it. It starts with sk- and is only shown once.
  4. Optional but recommended: set a monthly budget under Limits so your spend can never surprise you.

Then paste the key when you sign up โ€” that's it.

What lands in your inbox

Coaching delivered by email

Three types of coaching emails, automatically sent when you need them.

Post-ride coaching email

Post-ride analysis

After every qualifying ride you get a power zone breakdown, effort rating, and recovery guidance.

Weekly recap email

Weekly recap

A Sunday summary of your week โ€” what worked, what to watch, and how your load is trending.

Weekly training plan email

Monday training plan

Every Monday a day-by-day plan built around your recent load, goals, and available time.

How AI Cycling Coach works

The AI Cycling Coach uses the latest AI models to analyse your rides and help you train smarter. Connect once, get coaching for every workout.

Once you authorise Strava, the coach syncs your activity data โ€” distance, power, heart rate zones โ€” automatically. No manual logging required.

After every qualifying ride you receive a coaching email: a breakdown of your effort, zone analysis, recovery guidance, and a plan for the rest of the week.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Chat by replying to emails

Every coaching email you receive is a real conversation. Reply directly and your coach will respond โ€” ask about your training load, request a plan change, or just debrief after a tough session. No app needed, it all happens in your inbox.

๐ŸŽฏ

Share your goals and upcoming events

Tell your coach about a race, sportive, or personal target โ€” "I'm riding a 100-mile event on 15th June" or "I want to break 4 W/kg by autumn". Your coach will build every plan and feedback email around that goal, tracking your progress and adjusting as the event approaches.

Choose your coaching style

Pick the personality that matches how you like to be coached. You can switch any time from your profile.
