Features
Everything Agent Remote does
What you get on your watch, your Edge and your activity screen, where each feature lives, and what it needs beyond the app and your Anthropic key. To see it in use, read the examples.
Ask from your wrist
Talk to Claude the way that fits the moment, and get answers fast.
Typing and quick prompts
Type a message on watches with a keyboard, or tap a quick prompt. Claude keeps the quick prompts to the ones you use, and you can make your own. (No voice: the Claude API doesn't take audio.)
Where: WatchEdge
Short answers with follow-up buttons
Replies lead with the answer, fit a small screen, and end with up to three buttons like "Why?" or "Shorten" that continue in context.
Where: WatchEdge
Cards and questions
Briefings, debriefs and plans arrive as cards with sections labelled by source; questions you answer with one tap.
Where: WatchEdge
Rate any card
Select on a card: Useful, Not useful or Something's wrong. "Something's wrong" makes Claude check the card against your data and correct it.
Where: WatchEdge
Live updates and phone alerts
With the app open, replies arrive within a second or two. Optional phone alerts through the free ntfy app reach your watch like any notification, with Claude's text or only the kind of alert.
Where: WatchEdgePhone
NeedsThe free ntfy app, for phone alerts
Web search
Weather, opening hours, places, news and scores, with the source site named.
Where: WatchEdge
Memories
Say "Remember that ..." (a goal race, an injury, your units, your pool length, your fueling plan) and Claude uses it from then on. See and delete every memory on your settings page.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
Automations
Prompts Claude runs on a schedule in your local time: a morning briefing, an evening recap, a Sunday training review, a midday move check, or your own.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
Tasks and status
Longer requests show as tasks you can pause or cancel, and a one-line status on the glance.
Where: WatchEdge
"Next from Claude" on your watch face
The app publishes the next thing that needs you as a complication; the free Agent Remote Face shows it with the time, Body Battery and battery.
Where: Watch face
Your training plan
The plan you follow, kept by Claude and changed only when you say so.
A plan Claude keeps for you
Tell Claude the plan you follow, from a coach or an app, or ask it to plan your week or a race build. Each session has a day, sport, purpose, duration and optional structured steps.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
Today's session in 20 seconds
"What's my workout?" shows the goal, duration and first step, with Send to watch, Shorten and Explain.
Where: WatchEdge
Proposed, then confirmed
Every plan change is shown first and saved only when you confirm with a tap. A week that adds much more than your recent weeks is flagged before you commit.
Where: WatchEdge
Checked workouts on your device
Structured workouts with warm-up, intervals and targets land in your Workouts list. The relay totals the time, distance and steps, checks swim steps against your pool length, and Claude compares them with what you asked before saying it's ready.
Where: WatchEdge
Delivery you can see
Each planned session shows whether its workout is waiting, on your watch, or couldn't be saved.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
Routes as courses
Ask for a loop with a coffee stop and it lands in Courses with the stop marked. Check it on a map before you ride it: Claude draws it, not a routing engine.
Where: WatchEdge
During a workout
Agent Remote Ride, the free data field, puts Agent Remote on your activity screen without getting in the way.
Claude on your activity screen
The field shows Claude's next item or status, and tells Claude when you start and stop, so anything it sends stays very short until you finish.
Where: Ride field
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on a data screen, linked with the code it shows
Laps, recorded for your debrief
Each lap's time, distance, heart rate, power, cadence and ascent; in pool swims also the lengths, SWOLF, stroke and the rest after it. Sent after the activity, only while you share workouts.
Where: Ride field
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on the activity's screen
Fuel reminders
Set Fuel every N minutes in the field's settings: a short Fuel check at that rhythm. Claude never guesses what you ate; tell it after.
Where: Ride field
NeedsAgent Remote Ride, on devices with room for alerts
Cues Claude prepared
For a long session you confirmed, up to six short cues that fit your plan and your own fueling plan, each at its minute. They remind; they never set a new pace.
Where: Ride field
NeedsAgent Remote Ride, on devices with room for alerts
Today's workout, loaded for you
Agree on your watch to load a planned session, and the field loads it when you start that sport, then shows the step, what's left of it, and your target against your current pace, heart rate or power.
Where: Ride fieldWatchEdge
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on a Connect IQ 5.2 device (Forerunner 965/970, fenix 7/8, Edge 1040/1050 and similar)
Quiet by design
At most one alert every 5 minutes, none in the first 30 seconds of a lap, none while swimming or in a triathlon (Connect IQ can't tell which leg you're on), and no cue text on a private display.
Where: Ride field
After a workout
What actually happened, measured, reported and inferred kept apart.
A debrief card
What Garmin recorded, the planned session it matches and how it compares, one useful observation and what's missing, then "How hard did that feel?"
Where: WatchEdge
Training journal
Your effort rating and a short note, kept with that workout and labelled as reported by you, never a diagnosis. Also how you slept and how your day feels.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
Swim sets from your laps
Like-for-like repeats side by side: fastest, slowest, spread, last against first, rest and SWOLF (comparable within one swim). Times can't show stroke flaws, so Claude proposes a technique set to confirm.
Where: WatchEdge
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on the swim's screen
Did you hit every interval?
Each planned step against the lap that recorded it: done, shortened or skipped, and in, above or below the target. When laps don't line up with the steps, Claude says so instead of guessing.
Where: WatchEdge
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on the activity's screen
Second half slower?
The two halves of a run or ride compared (pace or speed, and heart rate), with heat, hills and effort named as possible reasons, never a diagnosis.
Where: WatchEdge
NeedsAgent Remote Ride on the activity's screen
A coach-ready summary, sent when you say
Claude drafts it and your watch shows exactly what goes where. It's sent to your webhook only when you tap Send, and you can see whether it arrived.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
NeedsA webhook on your settings page (Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make)
Your week
Planned against done, counted by the relay, adjusted with you.
Week review
Planned vs done by sport (swim, bike, run, strength): done, shortened, moved, unplanned, and what hasn't synced yet, which never counts as missed. One thing that went well, one constraint, then a question before anything changes.
Where: WatchEdge
Load check
Each planned week is compared with your recent weeks; more than 20% above them and Claude says so and offers a gentler version.
Where: WatchEdge
Missed a session?
Skip, swap or replan with the trade-off of each; never doubled up automatically.
Where: WatchEdge
Your day
Training around real life, with nothing written anywhere without your tap.
Your calendar, read-only
"I have a long ride and a meeting at 10": Claude reads your calendar, works out the window with buffers and offers an earlier start or a shorter session. It can't change your calendar; for a meeting change it drafts the message for you to send.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
NeedsYour calendar's secret iCal address on your settings page
Capture an idea, file it later
Say it on a walk; Claude drafts a title and one-line summary and, when you tap Send, files it through your webhook (a Zapier or Make one can put it in Jira, a task app or notes).
Where: WatchEdge
NeedsA webhook on your settings page
Briefings that know your day
The morning briefing leads with today's session and, with a calendar connected, says whether your day squeezes it.
Where: WatchEdge
Recovery and sleep
Your Garmin data, used only when it matters, never a single score.
Built on your Garmin data
Heart rate, resting heart rate, stress, Body Battery, Pulse Ox, respiration, steps, calories, floors, intensity minutes, recovery time, VO2 max and finished workouts, if you share them.
Where: WatchEdge
Sleep, kept apart by source
Garmin's own sleep score and stages once you link Garmin Connect (a Connect IQ app can't read them), and what you told Claude about your sleep, side by side and never merged.
Where: WatchEdgeSettings page
NeedsGarmin Connect linked on your settings page, where the relay offers it
Coaching, not medicine
No diagnosis, no medication advice. Chest pain, fainting or similar: Claude tells you to stop and get help.
Where: WatchEdge
You're in control
See what's there, change it, take it with you or delete it.
Share by category, with consent
Vitals, recovery and workouts are off until you agree on the watch; turning one off deletes what the relay holds for it.
Where: WatchEdge
Data check
Every field the relay has from your device, when it last arrived, and what's stale, never sent or not shared. Claude sees the same list.
Where: Settings pageWatchEdge
Coaching context
Full (training, calendar and journal) or workouts only, on your settings page.
Where: Settings page
Quiet hours, coaching level, private display
Set on the watch: when Claude may post, how much it volunteers, and whether its text shows on the face, the ride screen and phone alerts.
Where: WatchEdge
Your settings page
A private link: your key and model, plan, journal, memories, automations, connections and ride screens. Download everything the relay holds as a file.

Your own agent instead of Claude
Pair without a key and connect an agent of your own to the same relay through its OpenAPI spec.

What it can’t do
Ask anyway: Claude says so in one line and offers what it can do instead.
- Send email or messages to anyone, book, buy or call. The only thing it sends is a note to your own webhook, after you tap Send.
- Read your email, messages or task apps, or change your calendar.
- Read Garmin's own activity files, per-length swim splits or training readiness, or, without Garmin Connect linked, your sleep score and HRV.
- Coach you live by voice, or change your pace mid-interval.
- Speak its replies: you read them on screen.
- Use your claude.ai subscription or its memory: it runs on your own Anthropic API key.
