Suunto AI Coach discussion
-
On the discussion topic: I’m really curious how this AI feature will work out for Suunto. I’m a software engineer, and I know for sure that building this kind of AI agents takes a lot of time and resources. Unless it offers something mind-blowing, people won’t pay for it. They already pay for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and so on, which also help them with their daily life and work. A free MCP with read and write access would definitely have been the right move for Suunto, especially since Coros already has one and other third parties allow this too. Someone could argue that using it would be much easier than setting up an MCP. But non-technical people are getting better at using AI tools, and AI companies are really pushing for this.

I agree that the write capability would be the important new feature. Personally I use a combination of Claude and intervals.icu for analysis and training suggestions. I honestly do not see what Suunto could add in the form of analysis functionality that would compel me to pay for another service.But I think that updates to the Suunto OS would be needed to support uploading structured workouts. Currently structured workouts are packaged in Suunto Guides that contain the structure, and the guides do nto have configurable data screens.

After i activated my R3s and play a little bit with Suunto AI I’m pairing my Run 2 and my V2 and Suunto AI work again.

@Mi_chael AI coach is not supposed to be linked to watches ; but activation for now is linked to SRs3 purchase.
-
Yes it is but Suunto Ai don’t care about the watch you use.

Not necessarily. They could let AI create a Suunto Guide, like other third party services can do now. But I agree about structured workouts, a native structured workouts feature would be a very welcome feature!

@danutz that already works in the Suunto AI, you can create guides based on your request to the bot

Is it also possible to configure the fields shown in the guide, or is the guide fixed based on the target type?
I look forward to hearing more about this feature

@matram I do not know, in theory it should be possible (to a degree). It is already possible for third-parties to customize (to a degree) the S+ guides screen, and you can already see that different parties implement them slightly different.

@danutz write access is super scary for mcp. 3rd parties are limited to api. Additionally they offer buffer , cache etc.

I understand the technical concerns, but they can be handled. Coros already does it: since September their official MCP can create and edit workouts and training plans, but not delete them: https://coros.com/au/stories/coros-metrics/c/mcp-testing
I know nothing is final until the official release. But if the MCP stays read-only, it will look like Suunto is holding back write access to make the AI Coach worth paying for, and that won’t look good these days.
