Questions to ask your AI ski coach in week one

Start with a recent workout, today's session, the reason for a change, or one adjustment to the plan.

Prompt cards around a SlopeReady coach chat with first-week questions

A blank chat box gives you no clue where to start. In week one, use concrete questions that connect your Apple Health data with the plan in front of you.

SlopeReady grounds its answers in your Apple Health context and ski-prep plan. Start with a recent workout, today's session, or a plan change.

Ask what happened yesterday

Recent workouts provide a concrete starting point. Ask “How was my last workout?”, “How much did I ride yesterday?”, or “Was that run easy or hard?”

A useful reply draws on distance, duration, intensity, and effort when the data contains them. It then places the session beside your goal and the next planned workout.

Ask what you can handle today

Try “Can I handle a 10 km run today?”, “Should I keep the strength session or go easier?”, or “I slept badly. What should I change?”

Sleep, HRV, recent load, soreness, and missing data all affect the answer. Unclear signals call for conservative guidance rather than a promise.

Ask why the plan changed

When SlopeReady moves you to recovery or changes intensity, ask “Why is today recovery?”, “Why did my load go up?”, or “Why are intervals a poor fit today?”

The answer should connect the plan, your recent workouts, and recovery signals so you can review the reasoning.

Ask the coach to change the plan

Request a specific change: “Swap Saturday's workout for an easy run”, “I have 20 minutes today”, or “Move tomorrow's hard session.”

A useful adjustment protects the key ski-prep work, reduces load when recovery is low, and avoids stacking missed sessions into one day.

What the coach will not do

SlopeReady will not diagnose an injury, tell you to push through unsafe pain, invent missing data, or claim it recorded a workout. It reads Apple Health without writing back to HealthKit.

If you have pain or illness, reduce the plan and seek qualified guidance.

Begin with one concrete question.

Ask SlopeReady what happened, what the current context supports, or what should change next.
