The Challenge

Coaching workflows were fragmented, manual, and time-consuming.

  • Notes, spreadsheets, and messaging apps created unnecessary planning friction.
  • Session structures were inconsistent and hard to reuse or optimise.
  • The product needed to centralize the workflow without adding more complexity.
The Goal

Validate if AI and structure can improve coaching efficiency.

  • Validate that coaches need a faster way to plan structured sessions.
  • Prove that a visual, board-based interface matches how coaches think.
  • Show that AI can meaningfully assist with drills and session plans.
  • Keep the MVP simple enough for daily use, flexible enough for different styles, and scalable for growth.
What We Did

From product strategy to interactive MVP design

  • We led the full product design process from concept to execution.

Product Strategy & Experience Definition

  • The core principle was clear: make session planning faster, structured, and repeatable.
  • We mapped the entire coaching workflow to find friction points and opportunities for AI and UX improvements.

Information Architecture & User Flows

  • The platform was organized around core actions: create, generate, build visually, review, and export.
  • Each flow was designed to reduce cognitive load and mirror how coaches naturally think.

AI-Assisted Workflows

  • AI acted as an assistant rather than a replacement.
  • It generated session structures, suggested drills, and supported quick iteration through edit, regenerate, refine, and download workflows.

UI Design & Design System Foundations

  • We built the interface around minimalism, clarity, strong hierarchy, and reusable modules.
  • The overall feel was intentionally closer to a professional coaching workspace than a generic app.

MVP Development

  • We translated the design into a functional MVP built around high-impact core features.
  • That kept the product lightweight, fast to validate, and ready for future iterations.
The Results

Validated assumptions and improved coaching efficiency.

  • Significant reduction in session planning time.
  • Confirmed effectiveness of the board-based UX.
  • AI proven valuable as a coaching assistant.
  • Functional MVP ready for next-stage development.
  • A strong foundation established for scaling.
