๐Ÿงข Coach is now generally available

Coach AI sports assistant changelog cover

Coach is a sports assistant for iMessage. text him and ask him about your teams, your bets, tonight's games, or that one bad sports take your friend won't shut up about.

today, you're probably opening half a dozen apps just to keep up with sports. espn or real app for scores. ๐• for the takes and memes. polymarket for the odds. google for stats and schedules. chatgpt for deeper research. and your group chat for the only part that actually matters โ€” talking about it all with your friends.

but the best sports app is the one where your friends already talk. right in iMessage. and now it comes with a Coach. he watches every game, reads every sports article, and is always monitoring the situation so you don't have to.

what he does

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ daily rundowns

Coach texts you in the morning โ˜€๏ธ with the stuff you actually care about. your teams, your players, your favorite storylines. who's playing tonight, who's hurt, what happened last night, what's worth watching today. one text with everything you need.

and over time he learns what matters and what's just noise, so it's all personalized for you.

๐Ÿ”” knows when to text you first

Coach knows what you care about, and only pings you when something's worth your attention. a few minutes before tipoff on a game you care about. a big line or odds shift in a matchup you were thinking of betting. mid-game when the score is close and you should turn it on. or the final score of a big game with the story of what happened. just tell him what you can't miss and he's on it:

  • "text me when the Argentina game starts"
  • "let me know when Mbappe scores"
  • "give me a recap after the Columbia vs Switzerland game"

you say it once, Coach locks it in.
