What is this?
The AI Assistant can draft messages to your clients based on context, progress data, and your instructions. Whether you need a check-in reminder, workout feedback, or motivational note, the AI writes it and presents it for your review before sending.
Why is it useful?
Writing personalized messages to every client takes time, especially when you have a large roster. The AI drafts contextual messages quickly, saving you time while keeping communication personal. Since you review every message before it is sent, you stay in full control of what your clients receive.
Step-by-Step Guide
Drafting Messages
Ask the AI to write messages for specific clients:
- "Draft a message to Sarah about her workout today" - Prepares a message based on recent workout data
- "Write a check-in reminder for Jake" - Drafts a friendly reminder to complete a check-in
- "Send an encouraging message to Sarah about hitting her PR" - Creates a motivational message using performance context

Types of Messages You Can Request
- Workout feedback - Comment on completed sessions
- Check-in reminders - Prompt clients to submit check-ins
- Motivational messages - Celebrate milestones and PRs

Using Context in Messages
The AI can incorporate client data into messages:
- Recent workout completions and performance
- Metric trends and progress
- Habit adherence data
- Upcoming scheduled workouts
- Client goals and milestones
Ask something like "Write a message to Jake congratulating him on improving his squat by 10kg this month" and the AI pulls the relevant data to craft a personalized note.
