Overview

AthesAI is a pioneering sports training platform designed to guide youth athletes through every step of their athletic journey. Unlike conventional social media platforms, AthesAI provides:

  • Safe Connectivity: COPPA-compliant features and parental controls.
  • Personalized Training Experiences: Leveraging AI for tailored guidance.
  • Holistic Benefits: Promoting teamwork, collaboration, and mental health.

Challenge

Athletes face several challenges in accessing high-quality training resources:

  • Fragmented Resources: Training content scattered across platforms like YouTube and TikTok makes it hard for athletes to find relevant material efficiently.
  • Lack of Personalized Guidance: Existing training programs fail to address individual needs, particularly for high-level athletes.
  • Safety Concerns: Many platforms lack the safety and security necessary for younger audiences, creating barriers for parents and guardians.
  • Subpar Technology: Prior to working with Valere, Athes' initial app suffered from poor architecture, leading to underperformance.

Having Valere as a software partner plays a crucial role in the success of my business. Valere exhibits a high level of professionalism, organization, creativity, and expertise surpassing that of other developers I have previously collaborated with. This partnership and business relationship will serve as a significant differentiating factor for my enterprise.
