Pedal Coach AI is a free web app for cycling (road, MTB, gravel, e-bike, indoor trainer) that connects to intervals.icu. From FTP, heart rate, weight, goals and available days it proposes a weekly plan and rebuilds it from completed and skipped sessions and accumulated load; a code-enforced load ramp and forced deload weeks limit progression. A morning check-in on sleep and legs sets whether the day's session is pushed, held or eased. Sessions are prescribed in watts, or by heart rate and perceived effort without a power meter, and are written to the intervals.icu calendar and from there to the bike computer. Each uploaded ride is analysed against the session goal, and a chat coach can move, change or delete sessions. The vendor states it is not aimed at detailed periodization for competitive racing. Personal project from Spain, free with an optional donation, in Spanish with an English site.
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. pedalcoachai.com
