# Actiq - training app for athletes powered by AI Gamified Coaches

We're Actiq - app for sport lovers allows to train various sports (tennis, paddle, cricket, baseball, etc.) with AI Gamified Coaches (AIGC). AIGC can see and hear you - how you train, interact with you, coach you (create personalised training plans, meal plans, set goals, and provide other related care) and reward you with monetary incentives ($ACTI) to motivate you with daily workouts and guide you to sport perfection!

In order to promote the upcoming product, Actiquest has launched an Actiq Wallet, a telegram mini-app, which allows users to earn $ACTI by completing social and sports tasks, as well as to prepare users for the launch of the Actiquest mobile application in Q1-2025.

Actiq Wallet allows to use Strava app (most popular workout tracker for Athletes) and any wearable fitness tracker connected to it to claim $ACTI tokens to your in Actiq Wallet balance. To do that you need to install Strava, connect wearables to it and claim $ACTI using Strava task cards.

# Problems are solving

  • Demand in sports is significantly growing. Human Sport Coaches are constantly over demanding and limited by design
  • Low motivation of athletes to start exploring new sports
  • Web3 users are not involved in a healthy sport environment (a lack of sport related projects).

# Possible Solution

  • Multimodal AI for sports (CV + GenAI) that realizes autonomous AI Gamified Sport Coaches and 2earn Web3 incentives for athletes.
  • AI technologies plus Web3 gamification will disrupt sport coaching, unlock it for masses and democratize access to it.

# Technology behind Actiquest

  • Actiquest Lab is developing multimodal AI for autonomous and constantly learned AI sport coaches created on the edge of Computer Vision (CV) and Generative AI (LLM's) domains. Instead of Video LLM's approach of zero shot scene recognition and reasoning about what happened next on video input we're combine sport-domain-based real-time CV labeling and customized Distillation and Retrieval of Online Corrections (DROC) tools to respond effectively with corrections that generally represents the effective sport coaching process. Actiq AI architecture allows to enrich CV datasets without streaming video to central server just using smartphone computing power to collect metadata for labeling. Thus, data augmentation from CV CNN like Yolo with generative LLM works very fast. Auto-labeling of Computer Vision outputs yields 60fps human pose estimation, multiple object tracking and AI decision making at high speed. More about this you can read in our blog article
  • The technology allows human coaches to digitize the training process and co-pilot the sport coaching using mobile app and train athletes remotely. Athletes can hear the AI coach's live recommendations, respond to him during training, make adjustments to the plan, receive rewards based on the results of completing training blocks, and much more. Supported sports: tennis, golf, power training, running, cycling, swimming, yoga, remedial gymnastics, etc.
  • The Actiq main functionalities include comprehensive athlete coaching path across several sports and tracking activities during workouts, play sessions and socialized competitions. All activities within the app are gamified and incentivized, creating a motivating and engaging training environment.
  • Actiq app collects more complex health data from users. Actiq app provides much more adjustability to our ML models via quality feedback from athletes. We create a comprehensive solution to help athletes prepare for endurance events by combining LLM and AI/ML Computer Vision tools.
  • Actiq app also records your training results and convert completed training blocks into valuable rewards. You can earn $ACTI token through your performance exercises, hold it or exchange coins for store purchases, physical products, digital collectibles, event tickets, organize real sport events and holder ranking to access features.

# Innovation Double Impact

On-chain AI-driven app extended with on-chain incentives economy. New users from the sports industry (both trainers and athletes) will come to crypto space. Competitors are web2 tracking apps without AI tools and rewards (Strava) or 2-earn apps like StepN, which have less impact on sports.

# Social Impact

Actiq is a core sport/health related project based on the latest AI developments, powered with web3. We're working with the largest sport, crypto, AI opinion leaders (from sports, AI and crypto) to deliver our ideas worldwide. Actiq promotes an active lifestyle for its users. You can either hold the tokens to use in-app or cash out for profit. The more you practice, the more rewards you get; that is the motivation that pushes us forward to move our bodies so as to gain beneficial health improvement and control. Actiq app records training results and converts completed training blocks into valuable rewards. Athletes can earn $ACTI token through your performance exercises, hold it or exchange coins for store purchases, physical products, digital collectibles, event tickets, organize real sport events and holder ranking to access features.

# AI sport coaching

  • Is goal-based, not mechanical exercise routines
  • It helps not to sabotage training and stay in a good mood, because participating in Actiq gamified trainings and quests is fun;
  • Allows to focus only on the workouts you need to win competitions;
  • Helps not to get hung up on volumes by sequentially completing individual quests in Actiq;
  • Increases workout variability;
  • Keeps athlete motivated to reach your goal with rewarded daily workouts;
  • Allows to fight off the registration bones of participation in "big" competitions by winning Actiq competitions and maintaining your position in the leaderboard.

# Understanding AIGC's

AIGC's are artificial intelligence entities, that uses a combination of computer vision, decision intelligence, set of langchain agents on top of pre-trained LLM with NLP-based voice feedback to interact with athlete during workouts.

Meet ACTIcat, first AI-generated gamified sport coach in your pocket ACTIcat is a friendly, adaptable and engaging AI Sport Coach, especially for younger athletes and users. The playful AIGC character design can make the learning and training process feel more enjoyable, less intimidating and superior to Human Coaches in realtime data analysis, race day strategy, tailoring and adjusting training plans, and not kidding - personal neutrality, empathy and regular feedback.

Why cat? Human-like robots can sometimes fall into the "uncanny valley," where they appear almost human but have subtle differences that make them unsettling. A virtual cat character avoids this issue entirely by embracing a clearly non-human appearance that is universally appealing and non-threatening. Many people have a natural affinity towards animals, particularly cats. This can create a sense of companionship and motivation, making the coaching experience more pleasant.

ACTIcat can be given a distinctive personality that can be tailored to suit various age groups, sports and training styles, making the AI more adaptable to different user needs.

Athletes may develop an emotional connection with a cute and friendly AIGC, enhancing their commitment to the training program. This connection can lead to increased motivation and adherence to the coaching regimen.

Unlike the competition with remote fitness coaches aggregators like Fittr or ML-driven endurance training apps like PKRS.AI and Enduco, our gamified training app revolutionizes omni-sport athletic training with AI coaches, using deep learning, decision intelligence, tokenized incentives (also managed by AI) and sport-domain pre-trained LLM.

AIGC's are always on duty. By implementing GAP (Grade Adjusted Pace) models and robust speech recognition, AIGC's can create highly adaptive, personal training plans for non-pro athletes, keeping their unique goals, fitness levels, and progress in mind. It gives a more accurate reflection of an athlete's efforts and guides their training effectively via gamified training blocks. AIGC's are constantly learning from athletes using realistic NLP engine and by processing athlete's health data coming from various sources such as Strava, Google Fit, Garmin Health, etc.

AIGC's

  • Are adjustable virtual characters;
  • Predicts and monitors athlete's performance;
  • Analyzes physical/mental state;
  • Provides motivated personalized feedback during training blocks
  • Constantly adjusts training plan to rise the goals;
  • Monitors endurance, tempo, threshold, V02Max and anaerobic parameters;
  • Manages monetary rewards after training completion.

AIGC's will soon outperform Human Coaches and here is why:

Data Analysis. Human Coach is lack in data analysis: One of AI's strong suits is the ability to analyze large sets of data in record time. Unlike human coaches, AI can assess, process, and produce insights from complex health data, augmenting the decision-making process.

Availability. Human Coach is lack in 24x7 on demand availability: AI coaches are not restricted by time zones, schedules, or personal commitments. They are available 24/7, providing constant assistance and feedback when required. AI coaches are always on duty.

Consistency. Human Coaches are poor in consistency. AI algorithms don't suffer from typical human bias or mood swings. It will also provide consistent processes based on coaching we train it on. This leads to consistency in coaching, maintaining an unchanging standard of coaching quality.

Long-term tracking. Human Coach definitely looses to AI with athlete’s long-term tracking even using data-rich apps. Tracking progress over extended periods can be challenging for humans. AI, on the other hand, excels in this area, continuously monitoring and adjusting the learning path.

Scalability is not strong side of Human Coaches. AI coaches can accommodate athletes simultaneously, something impossible for individual human coaches. Or at least the vast majority.

Seamless Learning Adaptation. AI has the ability to personalize learning paths based on each athletes needs, adapting in real-time according to latest learnings from coaching and learning sessions. Our AI-learning program constantly improves AI coaches to be superior and adaptive.

Personal Neutrality. Human Coaches are not attentive to athletes, even training groups are overcrowded: AI offers unbiased coaching, unaffected by personal biases or emotions that could cloud a human coach's judgment. AI coaches are created to motivate athletes to obtain better results.

Access & Affordability. AI coaching tools are often more accessible and affordable than human coaches, allowing a broader range of athletes to benefit from professional coaching.

TCO. Unfortunately, AI win Humans in economic value. The average cost of one-hour training with tennis coach in US is about $100. AI coaches time is 100 times cheaper compared to Human Coaches. We create AI coaches in different sports that will cost about $20 per month in total and allows to build healthy habits and achieve better workouts performance to everyone.

Actiq generally aims to incentivize fitness and sport, helping to reduce obesity and sedentariness, and giving users an opportunity to reinforce dopaminergic reward system by using tokenized incentives precisely controlled by AI for improving their perfomance. Indeed, researchers recently found that improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness lead to a significant reduction in all-cause and disease-specific mortality, with an individual’s maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) being strongly correlated with their life expectancy.

Actiq generates rewards in the form of blockchain-based digital tokens ($ACTI). Users are rewarded by AI Sport Coach in native utility tokens for completing sport-related training blocks — across most playing and athletic sports (tennis, golf, boxing, padel, running, biking etc.). Exact reward table for each sport will be announced later. As part of the AI by AI program, before the product will be released, a unique incentivizing algorithm will be created while athletes will train AI to earn monetary incentives. That will affect a final part of customer development campaign which is starts in Q4 of 2023 within 200+ thriathletes to help us to validate product and market fit. Also we bridge data from all professional sports applications into one place and give you rewards for tracking user activities. Strava, Zwift, Peloton, RGT and other platforms users can connect their profiles to the Actiquest platform and get $ACTI initial airdrop based on the last 3 month data of imported sport activities.

Actiq tracks activity and completion of training blocks using the any health ecosystem such as Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, Google Fit and Suunto. This is assessed to see by selected AI Coach (we create different coaching characters which are taking in a sense age, style or gender of athlete) if it qualifies for rewards.

AI powered anti-cheat technology will be employed to ensure that only genuine fitness data is taken into account in the reward calculation process. As our algorithms requires more complex communication with athlete, it will be hardly to imitate Humans in multimodal AI environment.

# Actiq DAO

ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) subnet DAO, allow community control over:

  • Incentivization Algorithms;
  • AIGCs that are initiated by DAO;
  • Services binded to AIGC functioning.

# DAO functions in details

Actiquest is establishing Actiq DAO to govern and guide the development of the AI by AI incentivization platform as a public good owned by the community. DAO and its services will run on the Internet Computer Protocol powered by NNS-approved SNS canisters and SNS subnet. Actiquest seeks approval from the NNS to create and support this decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). To initiate the creation of Actiq DAO, Actiquest founding team will submit an NNS proposal specifying the parameters of the “decentralization sale” and initial token allocation. If the proposal were accepted, the NNS will trigger the decentralization sale of $ACTI tokens based on the proposal - to decentralize governance of the platform to token holders and raise funds for future development and growth. Participation in the swap will be open to anyone outside the prohibited countries list. Users can take part in the sale via the NNS launchpad, by depositing $ICP. Upon completion, participants will receive an amount of $ACTI tokens equal to the deposited amount of $ICP. Proceeds of the sale will be held in an ICP ledger account owned and governed by the newly formed DAO.

Control over DAO After sale ends, the DAO will be in control of the Actiq Incentivization mechanisms, including its treasury of $ACTI and $ICP. Following the decentralization sales, the SNS will assume control of Actiq DAO, including its treasury of $ACTI and ICP tokens. This means, to make changes to the platform or access the treasury, a proposal must be approved by the DAO. Anyone can submit a proposal to the DAO, which can be voted on by $ACTI holders.

DAO Governance. Proposals to the DAO may take the form of:

  • Motions Motions serve as expressions of intent without mandating specific actionable outcomes upon approval. They can be utilized to suggest new functionalities, dictate development team priorities, and more
  • Canister Upgrades. An upgrade proposal for canisters includes the canister's ID and a WebAssembly (WASM) module. Upon approval, the Service Nervous System (SNS) will update the specified canister's code with the new WASM module, facilitating enhancements to the application's smart contracts.
  • Configuration Changes. Modifications to the ACTI SNS configuration are possible. Detailed information regarding the initial setup parameters can be accessed here [TBA].
  • Token Transfers. Proposals for enabling the movement of tokens into or out of the DAO's treasury are permissible. The treasury is capable of holding any token native to the IC ecosystem, such as $ICP, $ACTI etc
  • Burning Tokens. Proposals to burn $ACTI tokens can be submitted as a method to decrease the total circulating supply (as example phygital goods marketplace where sport-ecosystem participants can exchange it’s goods for $ACTI tokens, that will be burned with each exchange).
