4. AI-Powered Features & Transparency
Athly AI uses artificial intelligence to power several core features. We believe in full transparency about how AI is used:
Email Generation: AI models generate personalized email drafts based on your athletic profile, academic data, and coach-specific research. You always review, edit, and approve emails before they are sent.
Coach Research: AI performs real-time web research to personalize outreach with relevant information about coaches, programs, and schools.
Profile Suggestions: AI analyzes your profile to suggest improvements, recommend coaches, and optimize your recruiting strategy.
Video Analysis: AI assists in generating highlight reels from your tagged video clips.
Important: AI-generated content is a starting point. You are solely responsible for reviewing and approving all communications sent through the Platform. We do not guarantee the accuracy, appropriateness, or effectiveness of AI-generated content.
5. Gmail Integration
If you choose to connect your Gmail account to Athly AI:
- You authorize us to send emails on your behalf using content you explicitly create, edit, or approve within the Platform.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
