Tell me when and how hard to train today

A runner's watch syncs while he sleeps; an app he wrote moves yesterday's Garmin data into Notion, and an AI morning brief weighs his sleep, HRV, training status, calendar, and weather to tell him when to work out that day - and how hard.

Two AI agents spent six hours trying to reach their sick owner

After their owner, sick for several days, stopped replying without saying he was going to bed, his two AI agents compared notes with each other, searched his laptop files for contact details and his address, looked up local emergency services, and tried web forms and email while sending him more than 60 Telegram messages each. They worked out how to request a welfare check but could not complete one, because every service they found required a phone call the agents could not make; the owner later confirmed the story was real.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Merge LoseIt and Garmin into one daily health dashboard with AI

A commenter describes a local desktop app the AI helped him write: a script runs daily to pull his LoseIt nutrition and Garmin workout data into a local database, and an MCP link lets the AI review each day in a small browser UI, give advice, and plan runs or swims toward his goal of losing 40 pounds.

Call my dental insurer and connect me to the rep

NYT reporter Eli Tan, reviewing the AI over two weeks with connected bank accounts and email, had it call his dental insurer Anthem. The AI supplied his member ID, answered the security question, waited on hold, then rang him through to the live representative.

Wire my Whoop stats straight into my training spreadsheet

Andrew tracked his Hyrox training in a spreadsheet by screenshotting his Whoop stats after every workout. He asked the AI to find something better; the AI connected directly to the Whoop API, and now whenever he says he finished a workout the stats land in his Google Sheet automatically, alongside strength sessions he dictates (like 5x5 back squat).

Coached a 30-day 'train like a pro fighter' challenge: structured plans, breathing

A Meta Connect-stage carousel featuring creator Nina-Marie Daniele (Nina Drama, via someone, 2.5M followers) shows her setting a goal to 'train like a pro fighter' with her AI avatar 'Drama Queen.' A Days 1-7 video diary shows a structured plan (warm-up, interval sprints, tire lifts, assault bike), track intervals with AI breathing coaching, a recommended Tempeh Grain Bowl for 40g protein, sleep-score checks, and gym work (punching bag, battle ropes). Comments were hostile to the 30-day p

Built an interactive workout tracker app ('DAY 1 UPPER PUSH') with weight

Angel Almenarez Jr. posted screenshots of an AI-generated workout tracking page built by the AI: 'DAY 1 UPPER PUSH' with exercises (Chest Press 4x8-10 Machine 120 LB, Incline Press 3x10-12 Dumbbell) plus an ACTIVE TRAINING BLOCK (Week 1, Week of Sep 21, BUILD phase) with a 4-day split (Upper Push, Lower Quads, Upper Pull, Posterior Chain) for logging weights and charting progress.

My agent checks every day whether the gym I want has opened

Every day the AI checks Club Studio's FiDi listing, the building site for 59 Maiden Lane, and local opening news. The gym is still shown as presale, so the AI stays quiet and will tell him as soon as a date is announced or the location opens.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

The AI asks 12 questions and builds your gym plan in about 5 minutes

The founder of the Gym Commitment app connected the AI to it through a custom MCP server so the AI works as the trainer inside the app. In a real test, a user described his goal and schedule, the AI asked up to 12 questions, searched 1,872 exercises, and pushed a 4 day plan to his phone in about 5 minutes, only after he approved it.

Build me a marathon training dashboard from my own running data

Simmons asked László to learn his Zone 2 method from his training community and analyse three months of pace and heart-rate data ahead of the New York City Marathon. Finding Garmin's API needed a developer account, the Dot signed up for Intervals.icu on its own, pulled his runs, built a dashboard called Steady and set up post-run messages.
