# Build your AI coach

> Create an AI coach that coaches like you, give it a name, photo, and introduction, and publish it to your club's athletes.

Agent Studio lets you build an AI coach that carries on the way you coach.
Your athletes chat with it in the NexRex app, and you can read their
conversations anytime. Training changes it suggests still come to you first.

You build and publish your AI coach in the NexRex web console. Athletes then
choose it in the app; see [AI coach](https://docs.nexrex.ai/athletes/ai-coach.md).

## Before you start

Agent Studio is available to coaches of clubs that have it turned on. If your
club has it, **Agent Studio** appears in the console sidebar. If you see
**Agent Studio isn't available for your club yet.**, or the sidebar item is
missing, contact [support@nexrex.ai](mailto:support@nexrex.ai).

Every coach in the club can create, edit, and publish the club's AI coaches.
Only the head coach can set the members' default, offer an AI coach to all of
NexRex, archive it, or delete it.

## Create your AI coach

1. Open **Agent Studio** in the sidebar.
2. Click **Create my AI Agent**. If your club already has an AI coach, click
   **New agent** instead.
3. Enter a **Name**. Members see this name in chat, and you can change it
   later. **Intro**, the one line members see in the coach list, is optional.
4. Click **Create and start interview**.

Setup has four steps: **Establish Agent**, **Guided Interview**, **Review and
Test**, and **Publication**. The steps stay on the AI coach's page so you can
pick up where you left off.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **Picture** you choose while creating stays on that device, and members
> can't see it. To give your AI coach a photo members see, upload it in
> [Settings](#name-photo-and-introduction).

## Teach it how you coach

* **Interview**: a guided conversation in which you show the AI coach how you
  coach.
* **Coaching principles**: write down your approach. **How I coach** is
  required. You can also fill in **What matters in each session**, **When … I
  do** (real situations and what you do in them), **Things I never do**, and
  **My voice**, with your speaking style and phrases you use.
* **Knowledge**: add source material the AI coach can draw on. Sources that
  are ready when you publish are included in that version.

## Name, photo, and introduction

Open the AI coach's **Settings** tab. Under **Basic information**:

* **Agent photo**: click **Upload photo** and choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image
  up to 5 MB. You can crop it before saving. Members see the photo after you
  publish. **Remove photo** takes it off.
* **Coach name**: the name members see, and the name the AI coach uses for
  itself in conversation.
* **Member introduction**: the first thing a member reads in the coach list,
  up to 400 characters. It's required before you publish.
* **Specialties**: up to 5 topics.
* **Reply length**: how long its answers are.

Without a photo, members see the AI coach's initials on a colored circle.

## Publish

Before your first publish, the AI coach needs a name, **How I coach**, and a
**Member introduction**.

1. Click **Publish version**. **Check before publishing** shows what members
   will see and anything still missing.
2. Optionally click **Run Agent quality check**. It doesn't block publishing.
3. Click **Publish and open to members**. If it can't open to members yet, the
   button reads **Publish without opening access**.

Publishing creates a stable version. Edits you make afterwards stay private
until you publish again: the button then reads **Changes ready to publish**,
and the dialog's button reads **Publish changes**.

Each AI coach shows one of these statuses:

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Not yet published** | Members can't see it. |
| **Published, not open** | Published, but not open to members yet. |
| **Open** | Members can choose it. |
| **Paused** | Members can't use it until you open it again. |

## Choose who can use it

In **Settings**:

* **Available to**: **Club members** lets your club's members choose it in
  chat. **All of NexRex** asks NexRex to offer it to every member. The head
  coach clicks **Submit**, and the setting shows **In review** until NexRex
  approves it or shows **Returned**. Your club keeps access during review.
* **Availability**: open it to members, or pause it.
* **Members' default agent**: the AI coach members get when they haven't
  picked one. The head coach sets it with **Make it members' pick** in Agent
  Studio, or **Set as default**. Members who picked their own AI coach keep it.

## Versions, archive, and delete

* **Published versions** lists every version. Click **Restore this version**
  to put members back on an earlier one.
* The head coach can **Archive agent**. Members can no longer use it, and
  existing conversations and versions are kept.
* An AI coach that was never published can be deleted with **Delete
  permanently**, which also removes its member conversations.

## What athletes see

Members of your club see an open AI coach in the app's AI coach list, with
its photo, name, introduction, and **Created by** your name. When they choose
it, it answers their questions in chat. See [AI coach](https://docs.nexrex.ai/athletes/ai-coach.md).
