An AI coach that opens with a plan, not "hey"

Open most AI chat apps and you get the same thing: a blinking cursor in an empty conversation, waiting for you to type the first word. Some greet you with "Hey! What can I help you with today?", which is the same blank page with a friendlier font. For a coaching app, that's backwards. You opened the app to train, not to explain your own situation to something that's supposed to already know it.

What happens when you open Yield

Open the Train tab with nothing already going, and the coach has already looked at your recent training and your recovery. It leads with that: a short read on where you're at, followed by a proposed session you can accept and start. You never have to ask, and you never have to summarize your own week. The conversation starts on the coach's side, the way a good in-person coach greets you at the rack already knowing what you did last time.

Why it doesn't happen every time you open the app

This fires once a day. The coach doesn't re-greet you if you close the chat and reopen it mid-workout, and it won't do it twice if you check the app again an hour later. Nobody wants to be re-greeted by their own coach five times in an afternoon.

The rule is simple: once today, then done for the day. Close the app mid-set and reopen it thirty seconds later, and you land back in the same conversation, exactly where you left it.
