Show HN: I built an AI cycling coach

My friends and I have been toying with the idea of personalized (cycling indoor) training using AI to assist with planning and tailoring workouts around a busy schedule and ambitious goals, so I decided to build an experiment to see how it would work. Cycling is a sport that's very hard on the body and many cyclists burn out or get frustrated when trying to improve, so my hypothesis is that with proper analysis of training data, there's a lot of potential to build a good product.

Ask HN: What is the most useful thing AI has done for you?

I had a deep conversation with a friend about what is the most useful thing AI has created/done for either of us. For my private life, AI helped me to diagnose and root caused a running toilet, and avoided the high cost of a plumber. It even help to select the replacement parts and how to replace them. Of course, on the tech side, AI is helping me build a healthcare company. What was yours? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50128412 Points: 3 # Comments: 3

Ask HN: Local AI product situation

Right now it seems every company wants you to buy their fancy new expensive computer to run local AI models. Why would we want to buy a whole new computer to run local AI models? Why not create a device which has its own memory and chip designed specifically to run models and it plugs into your existing computer thunderbolt port (or event USB 3.2 as loading the model is one time process).

Emu Concept – Make AI Follows Your Rules. (Feedback Wanted)

The idea is how can we make personal agent apps on the phone just listen to your rules... Like it's weird to have Muse, Grok Bot, Dots, Instinct not ask me about when I want them to work for me or align with my rules, values, and goals. If I give these agents access to tools/connectors/data they just "assume" what I want or what it should do rather than asking me? And even if I set these for a specific agent then what happens when a newer personal agent comes out? Do I have to reconfigure again ...
