AI agent
Connect your own AI assistant — Claude or ChatGPT — to your Protocol account and run your coaching by chat. Build and edit programs, analyse your roster, and get plain-language rundowns, with the risky actions held for your approval.
You already run your coaching from the dashboard. AI agent lets you run a lot of it by chat instead — from the AI assistant you already use. Connect your Claude or ChatGPT to Protocol, then just ask: “Build a 4-week deload for my powerbuilding group,” “Who hasn’t logged in 10 days?,” “Summarise Mike’s last check-in and draft a reply.” Your assistant does the work in Protocol and shows you the result.
The key idea: you bring the AI, Protocol brings the tools. Protocol doesn’t run the model and doesn’t charge you for it — your assistant (your Claude or ChatGPT account) does the thinking, and Protocol gives it a safe, scoped set of actions on your account. Think of it as a second way into the same Protocol you already use, not a new place your data lives.
What it can do
Three things, and it’s genuinely good at all three:
- Build & edit programs — describe what you want and it assembles the program or template, then shows you a draft to review. Bulk edits too: “swap barbell bench for dumbbell across weeks 2–4.” → Building & editing programs
- Analyse your roster & read reports — open-ended questions your dashboard’s fixed views never anticipated: adherence trends, who’s gone quiet, this-quarter-vs-last comparisons, a summary of any client’s latest check-in. → Analysing & summarising
- Triage your day — “What needs my attention this morning?” — a plain-language rundown across your whole roster, from your phone, no dashboard open.
What it can’t do (by design)
- It can’t see more than you can. The agent is scoped to your account only — the same clients, Vault, and billing you already have access to. It can’t reach another coach’s data.
- It can’t act behind your back. Anything a client would see or feel — sending a message, assigning a program, taking a payment, deleting something — is held for your approval, never done silently. See Approvals & safety.
- It’s only as good as the AI you connect. You choose the assistant; a stronger model gives a better experience. Protocol gives every assistant the same clear tools, but it can’t make a weak one smart.
Basic vs. advanced
| Start here Basic | Grow into Advanced |
|---|---|
| Connecting your assistant, managing keys | Bulk program edits across weeks |
| Asking for rundowns & summaries | The approval gate & what’s held back |
| Building a program from a prompt | Data, privacy & revoking access |
Pick a guide:
Connecting your assistant
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to Protocol — two ways, depending on your app — plus managing and revoking the agent keys that grant access.
Building & editing programs
Describe a program in plain language and your assistant builds it as a draft in your Vault — then you review the exact changes and apply. Bulk edits across weeks work the same way.
Analysing & summarising
Ask open-ended questions across your whole roster, get plain-language rundowns and check-in summaries, and have the assistant draft the follow-up — all from chat.
Approvals & safety
What the agent does on its own versus what it holds for your approval, how the data sent to your AI provider works, and how to see activity and revoke access.
