Not ranked yet (4 of 8 scored dimensions needed) · 0 of 8 dimensions scored · entry reviewed
Kipp is an iOS chat coach for hybrid training (strength, running, HYROX). After an intake it builds a plan, then each morning reads recovery and activity data from Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Apple Health or Strava and sets the day's session: lift, run, or back off. The athlete talks to it in free text; it adjusts sessions for soreness or travel, logs strength sets and meals (photo, voice or barcode), gives macro and carbohydrate targets, and reads bloodwork and menstrual-cycle data. The vendor states it does not push structured workouts to watches and is not a dedicated race-plan generator. Pricing is €29.99 per month after a 3-day trial.
AI level: Conversational AI coach. An LLM-based coach the athlete talks to in free text; it can explain, negotiate and change the plan, usually on top of a model-driven or rule-based planner. apps.apple.com
