FAQ
AI coaching
What is AI coaching?
The coach in Peak Days is written by an AI. The morning line on Today, the comment after a run and the answers in the Coach chat all come from an outside AI service that we use to write the coaching. It only works after you say yes in the app.
What is shared?
After you say yes, and only to write your coaching, the app sends the AI what it needs to know about your training and your health:
- your first name
- about you: your age, your sex if you gave it, your running experience, your weekly distance target, your units and language, your maximum and resting heart rate, your heart rate zones and pace targets, and which watch you use
- your runs from your watch or phone, one line each for the last eight weeks: date, distance, time, pace, climb, average heart rate, how it felt, the temperature at the start and which planned session it was. Older runs are looked up when you ask about them
- how your body is doing: resting heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV) and sleep from your watch or health app, your check-ins, and any niggle you have logged (where, how bad, since when, and your notes)
- your goal race and your other races: name, date, distance, climb, goal time, and the climbs on the course if you added it
- your plan: every session, and whether you did it, moved it, let it go or paused it, including sessions you built yourself
- your records and race results
- your chat with the coach: what you tell it, what you asked it to remember, and its recent answers
The coach does not get your email address, your password, your home address or the maps of your runs.
Who receives it?
An outside AI service that writes the coaching for us, under a data processing agreement. Our privacy policy names it: https://peak-days.com/privacy. Peak Days’ own servers send it your data over a secure connection whenever the coach writes something for you. It acts for us as a processor and gets your data only to write your coaching. The company behind it is based in the United States, so what we send it can be processed outside the European Union. Our own database stays in the EU.
Is it sold or used for ads?
No. It is never sold and never used for advertising. For the details of how that service handles your data, including whether it is used to train AI models and how long it keeps it, see our privacy policy: https://peak-days.com/privacy.
How do I say no, or turn it off later?
Nothing is sent until you say yes. You can simply not agree: in setup, tap Continue, and on the Coach tab, leave the card as it is. The rest of the app works fully without it.
To turn it off later, open Settings (the gear at the top right of Today), tap AI coaching under Your setup, then tap Stop AI coaching. Nothing about you is sent after that, and the daily line and the chat go back to the app’s own words. It is saved on your account, so it holds on every phone you use. You can turn it back on from the Coach tab.
