Olyup

What is Olyup?

Olyup is a platform at the intersection of artificial intelligence and sports performance, designed to help high-performance athletes. It is powered by OpenAI’s GPT models and was developed by Mbongeni “Bo” Ndlovu, a computer science Master’s degree holder with experience as a strength and conditioning coach.

Olyup is not intended to replace coaches. It is built to work alongside them, reinforcing the importance of the human element in coaching. The platform is currently in an early stage — more of a first draft or preliminary blueprint — and the team is actively seeking user feedback. Looking ahead, Olyup aims to improve communication between coaches and athletes, and Ndlovu is researching how to create training programs for high-performance athletes to make the platform more capable over time.
