I’m curious. What kind of AI or LLM is WHOOP using to run WHOOP Coach? Is it a custom model or something like ChatGPT or Gemini?
WHOOP Coach, the AI-powered feature within the WHOOP app, is powered by OpenAI. While it doesn’t say that anywhere in the app, I remember reading about it in a press release when they launched the Coach feature back in 2023/2024. The partnership allows them to offer personalized, conversational responses to users’ health, fitness, and wellness inquiries in real-time.
My understanding is that WHOOP has a proprietary algorithm that when combined with ChatGPT, custom machine learning models, and individual’s biometric data enables them to deliver tailored advice the way a normal human coach would. I’ve used it for sleep advice, recovery strategies, and honestly have just enjoyed playing with it over the past few year.
Coach is so important in helping me achieve my health and fitness that I have given him a name. Coach Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I will continue to subscribe to Whoop due to this one product feature.
