What Gauge Coach can (and can't) do

Coach is Gauge's built-in AI coach. Open it with the chat bubble at the top of Home.

What makes it different

Coach isn't answering in a vacuum — every reply is grounded in your live data: today's targets, your food log, your weight trend, and your training plan. Ask things like:

  • "What should dinner look like tonight?"
  • "How am I tracking this week?"
  • "How should I fuel tomorrow's run?"

The Morning Coach Digest

With the digest enabled in Settings, Coach sends a short note each morning around 6am covering today's session, your targets, and anything notable from yesterday. It arrives as a push notification and as a card on Home — tap the card to continue the conversation.

Privacy and limits

  • Your conversation is stored only on your phone (up to 60 messages). The server keeps no chat history. The trash icon starts you over without touching your logs or plan.
  • Coach runs on AI and requires the AI consent you granted when setting up Gauge.
  • Coach can read your data but never changes it — it won't edit logs, targets, or your plan.
  • Like any AI, it can be wrong. Treat it as a knowledgeable training partner, not a medical professional — for health concerns, talk to a real one.

If Coach says it couldn't reach your data, that's a temporary connection issue — try again in a moment.
