AI coaching apps that work with Garmin
Most AI coaches read activities from Garmin Connect. Fewer send the planned session back to the watch or Edge as a structured workout with pace, power or heart-rate targets, and that difference decides whether you follow the plan on your wrist or from memory. This page separates the two.
A Garmin watch also supplies sleep, HRV and resting heart rate; an app that reads those can adapt the plan to how you recovered.

How this index works
- Facts, cited. Sports, AI level, thirteen coaching capabilities, devices, price: each from the vendor's own page, linked and dated.
- Scores, from evidence. Eight coaching dimensions, 1 to 5, each citing a public page. No evidence, no score: a blank is not a low mark.
- Rules, not opinions. Every shortlist is the printed output of a rule over the data, recomputed on every build. Nobody picks a winner.
Every fact on this page links to the vendor page that states it on the app's own page. Scores follow the published rubric. The compare page shows all eight scored dimensions side by side.
