MONITORING

Live gear tracking

The AI uses get_gear to pull your latest stats. You'll always know exactly how many miles are on your current kit.

ALERTS

Automatic history

Every new ride or run is instantly factored into your gear totals. No more manual spreadsheets or guessing.

Human-led upgrades

The AI identifies when gear is nearing its end of life. You decide when to buy new equipment based on real data.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically buy new gear for me?

    No. The AI only tracks mileage and provides alerts. You must handle all purchases yourself.

    Does the AI change my Strava settings?

    No. The AI only reads data from your account; it cannot modify your Strava profile or settings.

  • 03

    How does it know which bike I used?

    It uses the equipment metadata attached to your Strava activities to match distance to specific items.

  • 04

    Can I track mileage for gear not in Strava?

    No. The AI can only track equipment that has recorded activities within your Strava account.

  • 05

    Will it notify me every single day?
