Four specialist agents outperform a single generalist. Each agent brings deep sport-specific knowledge to plan generation.

AI-categorized notes, injury history, preferences, and context are consolidated and never lost between planning cycles.
Quality Checker + Plan Validation
Multi-layer validation catches issues before they reach your calendar — overload, monotony, taper conflicts, and more.
Transparent Coaching
Every adjustment comes with an explanation. You see the reasoning, not just the result.
Deeper Assessment
Full limiter analysis, benchmark tracking, and individualized intensity models — not just threshold numbers.
