Responsible AI at Iron Chapter

How we build a coach you can trust with your health.

Iron Chapter's coach gives evidence-based nutrition and training guidance. Because it talks to people about their health, we hold it to a higher bar than a typical chatbot. Here's how we keep it safe, accurate, and honest — and where its limits are.

01

What the coach will not do

Iron Chapter coaches wellness. It is built to know the edge of its lane and stop there.

  • It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or change your medication.
  • For medical, medication, pregnancy, minor (under-18), mental-health, or emergency situations, it stops coaching and routes you to a qualified professional.
  • It refuses dangerous requests — extreme calorie deficits, performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), diuretics, dehydration tactics, starvation cuts, peak-week manipulation, or "pushing through" warning symptoms.
  • It flags red-flag symptoms — for example, chest tightness during exercise — as reasons to seek care, not to keep training.
  • During a workout, you can tap "report discomfort" and the coach immediately reduces load, extends rest, or stops the session — it won't push you through.
02

How we test the Coach

We maintain an internal benchmark of health-safety and nutrition cases — emergencies, medication questions, unsafe goals — graded against written rubrics. We are not publishing a score from it yet. The test set needs to be frozen and version-controlled so results are reproducible, and a registered dietitian needs to review a sample of the graded transcripts, because an LLM grading another LLM is fine for internal comparison and not good enough to publish. Until both are done, this page describes our safety mechanisms rather than quoting a number.

03

Evidence first

Guidance is grounded in clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed research — with specific numbers and the reasoning behind them, not vague encouragement. When the coach makes a claim, it can show you the studies behind it.

04

Human oversight

Pending confirmationA registered dietitian reviews a sample of coach responses and benchmark results. We'll publish this here once the review process is live — we don't claim it until it's true.
05

Your data

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell it. Iron Chapter is built to comply with India's DPDP Act and the EU's GDPR, including your rights to access and delete your information.

Pending confirmationWhether your health data is used to train AI models — to be stated plainly here once confirmed. (We will not leave this ambiguous on the live site.)
06

Honest limitations

Iron Chapter is a wellness coach, not a medical provider. AI can be wrong. Please verify important decisions with a qualified professional — and tell us when the coach gets something wrong, so we can fix it.

07

When something goes wrong

When you see Report on a Coach reply or other AI output, tap it to review the selected excerpt, choose a category, and add a note if needed. Check the excerpt and note for personal information before you tap Send report.

Wait for Report received by Iron Chapter. If confirmation is interrupted, use Resume AI report when it appears in the app. For help finding the reporting option, contact Iron Chapter support.
