What Should I Ask My AI Clone? 30 Ideas for Coaches

Voice Search Statistics and Trends

• 50%+ of searches are now voice-based (Google, 2024)
• 72% of voice search users use it daily (Microsoft, 2024)
• Voice queries are 3x longer than text queries (more conversational)
• Mobile voice search is growing 35% year-over-year
• Smart speakers (Alexa, Google Home) drive 20% of voice searches

Why This Matters: Clients increasingly expect to interact with AI using natural, conversational language. Optimizing for voice search improves user experience and increases engagement.

How Voice Search Differs from Text Search

Best Practices:

• Be specific: "What's the rest period between sets in week 3?" is better than "Tell me about rest periods."
• Use natural language: Ask questions like you'd ask your coach in person.
• Reference your program: Mention specific weeks, phases, or exercises from your program.
• Ask follow-ups: The AI remembers context, so you can have a conversation.
• Be conversational: Voice search works best with natural, spoken questions.

How to Phrase Questions for Voice Search

Natural Language Patterns

Voice search questions typically follow these patterns:

• Question words: Start with what, how, when, where, why, can, should (e.g., "What should I eat?")
• Personal pronouns: Use "I," "my," "me" (e.g., "What's my workout?")
• Complete sentences: Full thoughts, not fragments (e.g., "How do I modify this exercise?" not "exercise modification")
• Conversational tone: Sound like you're talking to a person (e.g., "I'm feeling sore, what should I do?")

Common Voice Search Mistakes

• Too formal: "Please provide information regarding today's workout regimen" → Better: "What's my workout for today?"
• Too short: "workout" → Better: "What's my workout for today?"
• Keyword stuffing: "fitness workout exercise program today" → Better: "What exercises should I do today?"
• Not conversational: "nutrition meal plan macros" → Better: "What should I eat today?"

Training Data Recommendations

• Include conversational examples: Add documents with examples of how you naturally answer questions in conversation, not just formal documentation.
• Question-answer pairs: Create FAQ documents with questions phrased the way clients actually ask (voice search style), paired with your answers.
• Natural language content: Include transcripts of videos, podcasts, or conversations where you answer questions naturally.
• Variations: Include multiple ways of asking the same question (e.g., "What's my workout?" "What should I do today?" "What exercises are scheduled?")

Voice Sample Optimization

When recording your voice sample for voice cloning:

• Speak naturally: Use conversational tone, not reading from script
• Include questions: Record yourself asking and answering questions to capture natural question-answer flow
• Vary sentence length: Mix short and long sentences to match natural speech patterns
• Use contractions: "What's" instead of "What is" to sound more natural

Testing Voice Search Queries

Test your AI with these voice search query types:

• Question format: "What's my workout?" "How do I do this exercise?"
• Conversational: "I'm feeling sore, what should I do?"
• Follow-up questions: "Can you tell me more about that?" (testing context retention)
• Variations: Test multiple ways of asking the same question to ensure consistent responses

Pro Tip: Record yourself asking 20-30 common questions naturally, then test if your AI responds accurately to those exact phrasings.

Long-Tail Voice Queries

Voice searches are typically longer and more specific than text searches. Optimize for these patterns:

• Contextual questions: "What should I eat before my morning workout if I'm trying to lose weight?"
• Scenario-based: "I'm traveling and don't have a gym, what exercises can I do in my hotel room?"
• Personalized: "I'm on week 3 of my program and feeling sore, should I still do today's workout?"

Question Variations

Clients ask the same question in many ways. Train your AI to recognize variations:

Include these variations in your training materials so AI recognizes them as the same question.

Local Voice Search Optimization

If you serve clients in specific locations, optimize for local queries:

• "Where can I find a gym near me?" (if you provide location-based recommendations)
• "What time zone are you in?" (for scheduling questions)
• "Are there any local events or meetups?" (if applicable)

Multi-Language Voice Search

If you have international clients, consider multi-language support:

• Train AI on content in multiple languages if you serve diverse clientele
• Configure voice recognition for different languages
• Test voice search queries in each supported language

Note: Most platforms support English primarily. Check platform capabilities for multi-language support.
