Health, AI & data disclosure

The feedback you receive in PhysiqueIQ is generated by artificial intelligence — specifically, large language models with vision capabilities (currently Anthropic Claude Sonnet). This means:

• AI observations are informational only. They are not diagnoses, prescriptions, medical opinions, or professional advice of any kind.
• AI can make errors. The model may misread images, misinterpret body composition, or provide inconsistent results between sessions.
• Results depend heavily on photo conditions. Lighting, angle, background, clothing, and camera quality all affect what the AI can assess.
• The AI does not know you. It has no access to your full health history, medical conditions, injuries, medications, training history, or personal context beyond what you explicitly provide.
• Analyses are not reproducible in the clinical sense. The same photo submitted at different times may produce moderately different feedback.
• AI training data has a cutoff. The model’s understanding of physique assessment reflects its training data, which may not capture the most current standards, trends, or research.

Use AI feedback as one informational input among many — not as a definitive assessment of your physique, health, or fitness.

• Do not use AI analysis to diagnose, treat, or manage any health condition, injury, or disease.
• Do not make decisions about medications, supplements, or medical interventions based on anything you read in this application.
• Always consult a licensed physician or qualified healthcare provider before beginning, modifying, or discontinuing any exercise program.
• If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any unusual symptoms during exercise, stop immediately and seek appropriate medical attention.

PIQ LLC is not a healthcare provider and does not provide healthcare services. No physician-patient or provider-patient relationship is created by using this application.

AI feedback in this application is observational and informational. It does not replace the judgment of qualified professionals.

PhysiqueIQ is built specifically for competitive bodybuilders competing in NPC, IFBB, OCB, WNBF, and other federations. The following applies to all competitive users:

• AI feedback in PhysiqueIQ is not a replacement for a qualified posing coach or competition prep coach. A skilled coach who can observe you in person provides feedback that AI cannot replicate.
• Division judging criteria evolve over time. PhysiqueIQ does not train its own model — analysis comes from a general-purpose AI model guided by our division-specific prompts, so its read may not capture recent shifts in judging standards or federation-specific nuances.
• PhysiqueIQ’s Show Intelligence feature produces a placement estimate — a callout tier, a placement range, and a confidence level — by comparing your check-in against a profile built from historical NPC results. It is an estimate, not a prediction of your actual result. Many factors that decide placings cannot be assessed from a photo: the specific competitors you stand next to, judge subjectivity, peak week execution, stage presence, and day-of presentation. Treat the estimate as one input, never as a forecast.
• When working with a prep coach, always defer to your coach’s recommendations. AI analysis is a supplemental tool, not an authority.
• Stage conditioning assessments made from photos may not accurately reflect how you will appear under stage lighting, with a competition tan, and in posing suits.

Your photos are the most sensitive data you share with this application. Here is exactly how they are handled:

• This application is intended for users 18 years of age or older.
• Users between 13 and 17 years of age may use this application only with verifiable parental or guardian consent.
• Users under 13 are not permitted to use this application.
• If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should review all AI-generated content before you act on it, and should be involved in any fitness or nutrition decisions.
• By creating an account, you represent that you meet the applicable age requirement.

AI vision models have inherent limitations that all users should understand:

• Photo quality is a ceiling on analysis quality. Blurry, poorly lit, or obscured photos will produce less reliable feedback regardless of how sophisticated the underlying AI is.
• This technology is not validated for clinical or diagnostic use. It has not been evaluated by the FDA or any medical regulatory body.
• AI models are continuously updated and improved. Analyses generated at different points in time may reflect different model versions and may not be directly comparable.
• The AI may occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect observations. Critical decisions should never rest solely on AI-generated feedback.
• Certain body types, skin tones, lighting conditions, and photo compositions may be assessed less accurately than others due to patterns in AI training data.
