AI Coach

AI Coach gives you plain-language analysis of your own training data — grounded in your logged workouts, not generic advice.

How it works

You pick a topic, BurnGauge assembles the relevant data, and you get a written report. The four topics are:

Topic	What it answers
This week's recap	Wins, gaps, and what to fix next
Am I progressing?	A lift-by-lift trajectory check
Muscle balance	Where your volume is over- or under-cooked
Should I deload?	A read on fatigue and recovery debt

Opening a topic shows your last report

Tapping a topic opens the report it already holds, under a line saying how old it is — GENERATED JUST NOW, GENERATED 6 HOURS AGO, GENERATED 1 WEEK AGO. Nothing is generated by opening it, so looking at what you already have never costs you a generation.

Under the report sits a single button:

The button says	What it means
GENERATE NEW REPORT	You can run this topic now; it replaces what's on screen as the latest
GENERATE REPORT	You've never run this topic — this is your first
GENERATE IN 23 HOURS	The topic is cooling down. The number is the total hours left, so a week reads as 168 hours, not "6 days"

A locked button is never a mistake — each topic has its own cooldown so the reports stay worth reading. If a generation is refused (a cooldown, a daily limit, or your monthly AI budget), the screen says so in a sentence and your previous report stays on screen.

Older reports for a topic are a tap away on the same screen, each labelled by age.

You accept a disclaimer first

The first time you run any AI feature, BurnGauge asks you to accept a short health disclaimer — the Coach gives advisory, non-prescriptive guidance about training, not medical advice. Until you accept it, running a topic returns "Please accept the AI coaching disclaimer to continue." rather than an analysis.

What it sees (and doesn't)

The Coach reads structured signals — your sets, volume, e1RM, muscle balance, check-in metrics, and, if connected, wearable recovery and activity.

Your private free-text notes are never sent to the AI. That's a hard privacy rule in BurnGauge, not a setting.

Where to find it

Progress → AI COACH, or the OPEN AI COACH → shortcut on the weekly calendar when the coach has a read on your week. The Ask the Coach card on Progress → Patterns also lands you on the four topics.

Availability

AI Coach is a Pro feature, with per-topic cooldowns so each report has new training behind it.

The Coach needs a connection. Reports you already have stay readable while the page is open, but if BurnGauge can't reach the server when you open Progress, the page shows an error with a RETRY button rather than stale or invented data — the rest of the app keeps working.
