Mfinyi AI

The Personal AI cycling coach that tells you how to get faster without having to buy expensive equipment

Inspiration

A few months ago I began cycling. At first I only wanted to cycle in the evenings and during the weekends around my house. But as soon as I went to watch my first bike race, I realized how much I wanted to be on the track competing professionally.

So, like any normal human being would do, I started training, hard... This didn't go on for long though, seeing that after training so hard for about a month, I could barely climb the small hill to my town without running out of breath. How on earth was I going to go from almost dying after riding just 10kms to comfortably riding for over 120kms consecutively ?

I started watching Youtube videos and reading blogs on how to become a better cyclist but the more videos I watched and the more blogs I read, the more confused I became. Struggle as I did, I eventually learned about the basics of cycling training.

I downloaded training apps, but then I realized... I'd need thousands worth of equipment to train on these apps. I knew then and then I'd not be able to afford such in the visible future. So I started using ChatGPt to generate my training plans but it would forget a lot of the details and the chats grew too long after a while anyway. That's when I had the idea to build my own personal AI cycling coach.

What it does

Mfinyi generates personalized training plans for the rider, offers tips and advice on how to become a better cyclist and even helps them become more consistent in their training routines.

How we built it

I built this entirely on Google AI studio

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge was in figuring out the best user experience so cyclists could easily navigate the interface and actually gain value from the app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm just proud to see myself grow. I went from struggling to ride 10kms to riding 60kms on one of the toughest trails in The Hells Gate National Park in Kenya.

What we learned

Just because things have always been done in a certain way, doesn't mean they have to be done in that way.

What's next for Mfinyi AI

I'm excited to get the public to use this and see people become better cyclists and who knows, maybe I'll start creating personal coaches for other sports.
