Welcome to Kanni: Your AI Running Coach

Introducing Kanni, the AI-powered running app that gives you personalized coaching to help you achieve your running goals.

Kanni Team

We’re thrilled to introduce Kanni—the running app that finally gives you what you deserve: a personal coach who knows you.

Whether you’re lacing up for your first run or chasing a new PR, Kanni is here to guide you with AI-powered coaching that adapts to your journey.

Why We Built Kanni

Most running apps are glorified stopwatches. They track your runs, show you some charts, and leave you to figure out the rest.

But here’s the thing: knowing your pace isn’t the same as knowing what to do next.

That’s why we built Kanni. We wanted to give every runner access to the kind of personalized guidance that used to be reserved for elite athletes with professional coaches.


What Makes Kanni Different?

1. An AI Coach You Can Actually Talk To

Forget scrolling through generic training articles. With Kanni, you have a coach who:

  • Knows your training history — Every run, every pace, every heart rate zone
  • Understands your goals — From your first 5K to your Boston qualifier
  • Answers your questions — In plain language, based on YOUR data

“Should I run today or rest?” “Why am I feeling sluggish lately?” “What pace should I target for my long run?”

Ask anything. Get answers that actually make sense for you.

2. Form Analysis That Sees What You Can’t

Your running form affects everything—efficiency, speed, injury risk. But without a coach watching you, how do you know what to improve?

Kanni’s AI-powered form analysis uses your phone’s camera to:

  • Detect your running pose in real-time
  • Analyze key mechanics — cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation, arm swing
  • Identify inefficiencies that waste energy or risk injury
  • Provide specific drills to address your weaknesses

It’s like having a biomechanics lab in your pocket.

3. Training Plans That Actually Adapt

Traditional training plans are rigid. Miss a workout? Too bad—the plan doesn’t care.

Kanni’s training plans are different:
