A quick overview. Follow the steps below in the app.
Step by step
- Switch Auto on from its widget on the home screen.
- The first time, tap Set up Auto coach. It reads your training, asks only what it can't work out, then builds a plan for you to check. Nothing is saved until you say so.
- Choose a mode: I'll apply, Ask me or Full auto. Read what each allows before picking.
- Suggestions arrive as cards, in the bell and on the Auto page. Each shows what the session was and what it becomes.
- Tap WHY ⊕ to see the reason. Tap BASED ON ⊕ to see the evidence.
- Tap Yes to make the change. Undo sits on the confirmation.
- Tap No if it doesn't suit you. It asks why in one tap, and your answer teaches Auto.
- Set hard rules under How to coach me → My limits & rules. Tag each rule Must follow (never broken) or Aim for.
- Add a mini goal under My goals, such as a long session, weekly volume or sessions per week by a date. Auto builds towards it in safe steps and marks those sessions with 🎯.
- Talk to it in plain words: “I only have half an hour today”, “my knee hurts”, “leave this week alone”.
- When your plan runs short, the bell asks Build forward? Say yes and it extends after your last session, leaving existing ones alone.
Try this
“I'm tired and have a busy week. Keep Friday free and help me adjust the next few weeks.”
Where it goes wrong
- Feeling railroaded. Your mode decides how much Auto can do. Saying Yes to suggestions never gives it more power; only your settings do.
- “Auto changed something I edited!” A session changed in the last week, by you or by Auto with your yes, gets no new ideas. Only a new pain report or a poor check-in can override that, and only to make it easier.
- Teaching it nothing. The box under the cards takes lasting lessons in your own words, such as “never touch my long run”. Auto reads them before every suggestion.
- Mentioning pain casually. Say something hurts and Auto stops adding training until you say it's better. If you didn't mean it, say so.
Check it worked
- Check the calendar after any change.
- Use Undo if a change isn't right.
- Update your limits when your week changes.
