AI coach in your pocket: could a chatbot boost your workout?
NCT ID NCT07654868
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether using a large language model (LLM) AI chatbot can help people increase their physical activity. 39 adults who want to be more active will be split into three groups: one uses the AI on their own, one gets extra guidance on using the AI, and one uses sleep resources as a comparison. The main goal is to see if the study is feasible, not to prove the AI works.
