Talking to Areela
What Areela can do for you — answer questions from your own data, log things, and point you to your coach.
Getting here: tap the centre Areela button, then type in the “How can I help?” box or tap the mic to ask by voice.
What Areela is
Areela is Areela's built-in assistant. It knows your Areela data, so you can ask it about your training, nutrition, sleep, recovery and more — in plain language — and it answers instantly.

Ask it about your data
Ask things like “How did I sleep?”, “Am I ready to train today?”, “What's in my next workout?” or “Have I hit my protein?”. It draws on your sleep, activity, nutrition, body stats, health scores and programme. For a full list of ideas see What You Can Ask Areela.
Ask it to log things
Areela can also start jobs for you — just ask, e.g. “Log my workout”, “Log my weight”, “Log a meal”, “Log my hydration” or “Add a journal entry”.
Rather than logging silently, Areela brings up the right button for you to tap — the same pattern as Message coach. For example, ask to log your breakfast and Areela replies with a Log Meal button that opens the meal logger (you can add a quick description of what you ate when you open it).

Message your coach
Ask Areela to message your coach and it gives you a Message coach button that opens your coach chat. See 'Messaging Your Coach'.
New chats & history
Tap the “…” (top-right) for New Chat (start fresh) or History (reopen a past conversation).
Private to you: your conversations with Areela are private — your coach can't see them.
