Build Strava workflows with AI Agents
AI agent posts daily or weekly Strava activity summaries directly to your team’s Slack channel — no manual data pulls required. Enhance your Strava workflows with AI-powered automation in Slack, Teams, and Discord.
Strava has revolutionized how athletes track and share their fitness journeys, but what if your entire team could leverage Strava data where you already collaborate—inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord? By integrating Strava with Runbear’s AI agent, teams transform scattered activity stats and motivational updates into an automated, data-driven experience within the tools they use every day. Discover how AI-powered Strava workflows boost engagement and drive team performance, all without switching apps.
About Strava
Strava is a world-leading fitness tracking and social networking platform that enables runners, cyclists, and athletes to log their workouts, analyze performance, and connect with a global community. With over 150 million users, Strava is trusted by professionals and recreational athletes alike for its accurate activity tracking, goal setting, and engaging social features like challenges and clubs. Teams—whether sports clubs, corporate wellness groups, or remote colleagues—use Strava to unite around health goals, monitor progress, and celebrate achievements. Its blend of easy tracking, motivational competitions, and rich analytics makes it an essential tool for fostering a culture of wellness in any group setting.
For those new to Strava, its core capabilities include: GPS-based activity logging (running, cycling, hiking, swimming), route mapping, leaderboards, performance analytics, personalized goals, and detailed workout summaries. The social aspect—enabling members to like, comment, and encourage each other—fosters accountability and inspiration. With both free and premium plans, Strava fits individuals and teams of all sizes looking to elevate their fitness journey.
Use Cases in Practice
When Strava meets an AI agent built on Runbear, the whole concept of tracking and sharing fitness progress is elevated from a personal task to a collaborative, data-rich team workflow. Instead of relying on individuals to gather, interpret, and share their Strava data, teams gain a smart, always-on assistant that handles updates, answers, and motivation in the background. Picture your morning Slack routine—now featuring a recap of yesterday’s rides, quick access to team challenge stats, or AI-generated insights that spark new wellness goals. Need to know who’s leading in this month’s steps challenge? Just ask. Want your training plan reminders posted before group runs? The AI agent can schedule these, much like our automated daily digests or KPI reporting workflows. These use cases show how AI transforms Strava workflows for your team—giving you real-time visibility, actionable insights, and seamless collaboration, all from your chat workspace.

Implementation Considerations
