AC Coach
A local AI driving coach for Assetto Corsa. Learn a track before your first lap, then get live voice coaching and post-session feedback powered by your own hardware — not a cloud subscription.
Free to try. $2 suggested. Built for the AC modding community.
Outcomes the coach delivers
Get realtime advice to improve your driving and win more races.
Find the biggest places you are losing time.
Get live voice coaching while you drive.
Leave each session with a concrete practice plan.
Six steps from install to repeat use
A slim Miniloader runtime is included. One installer, no configuration required.
Model and knowledge packs are fetched through the Miniloader store. Most packs are free or pay-what-you-want.
If SimHub is already part of your setup, a bridge plugin maps live telemetry into the coach's canonical schema.
Before your first lap, the coach explains braking zones, corner notes, and session focus using reference data and curated track knowledge.
Voice callouts fire in real time — brake earlier, hold throttle, prepare for the next corner — based on your actual telemetry.
Three biggest mistakes, corner-by-corner notes, and one drill to run next session. Repeat.
A canonical coach-state schema in the middle
The AI model never depends directly on Assetto Corsa's raw format or SimHub's property names. A canonical coach-state schema sits in the middle, with adapters on each side. This keeps the model portable and the adapters independently testable.
timestamp · sim · track · car · lap number · lap time · normalized track position · speed · throttle · brake · steering · gear · rpm · world position · lap validity
The category is validated. The opening is specificity.
Existing coaching and telemetry tools have established the category — users already understand what a driving coach does. The opening for AC Coach is specificity and distribution: Assetto Corsa first, mod-culture pricing, and day-one track guidance before any data is collected.
Track Titan
tracktitan.io ↗Records laps, analyzes telemetry, provides AI driving tips and reference-lap comparison. Strong proof that sim racers want interpreted data, not raw charts.
Trophi.ai
trophi.ai ↗AI-powered coaching with live telemetry overlays, post-session analysis, and voice coaching. The closest premium AI-coach reference in the category.
Larger tools cover many sims broadly. AC Coach focuses on Assetto Corsa's modded ecosystem, which is community-driven and underserved by polished premium services.
Most coaching tools need session data before they can help. AC Coach is useful before your first lap, using reference footage and curated track knowledge.
Subscriptions starting at $7.99–$16/mo create adoption friction. A $0 free tier with a $2 suggested contribution removes the barrier entirely.
Optimized for repeat use, not revenue
The first metric is not revenue — it is whether users run the coach again after their first session. Pricing reflects that.
Full coaching loop. No trial limits. Try the coach, run a session, and decide if it helps before paying anything.
A one-time contribution that keeps the project going and signals appreciation to the community.
Early builds, vote on next track and car packs, Discord access, and experimental Miniloader modules.
In active development
The first milestone is a single supported car and track combination with a working SimHub telemetry path and pre-lap guidance. Updates and early access details will be posted to the Miniloader blog.
