The AI overlay lets you ask contextual follow-up questions from supported screens without leaving the flow. You stay in control with AI consent, memory, and data preferences. Recovery and readiness are built in. Genova estimates when muscles are ready using training volume, RPE, age, and feedback.

Clear charts and shareable summaries show what is improving and what needs attention. Track any cardio type with duration, distance, calories, and heart-rate data when available.
