Description (French)
Ce projet va révolutionner l’entraînement physique personnel grâce à une application d’entraînement évolutive et guidée par la voix qui fournira un coaching audio en temps réel pour la course à pied, le cyclisme et la musculation d’ici avril 2026. Grâce à une combinaison novatrice d’IA générative, d’IA de synthèse vocale et d’algorithmes basés sur des règles, elle offre des commentaires personnalisés, des messages motivants et une interaction bidirectionnelle. Les utilisateurs sélectionnent les voix de coaching, reçoivent des ajustements dynamiques basés sur le GPS, la fréquence cardiaque ou la puissance, et profitent d’entraînements de musculation guidés par audio. Avec plus de 5 000 utilisateurs hebdomadaires et un taux d’utilisation quotidienne active (DAU) 400 % plus élevé, notre technologie crée une expérience de coach personnel qui favorise l’adhésion et l’engagement.
