Ask your whole business: Kula Gen 2 at AusFit 2026

If you run a studio or a gym, you know the question that sends you back to the computer. How did last week go? Who has not been in for a while? Can we afford another teacher on Thursday mornings? The answer exists. It is just spread across your booking system, your payments, your accounting and a spreadsheet you built two years ago. You are the one who joins it together, usually at night.

This week at AusFit 2026 we are introducing what we call the Gen 2 fitness business. The idea fits on a flyer, and it did: your whole business, one conversation away.

Keep your software. Use your AI. Ask your whole business.

Gen 1 software recorded your business. Each system knows its own part and nothing else. Your booking system knows bookings. Your accounting package knows invoices. Your marketing tool knows who opened an email. None of them knows what a teacher leaving means for the members who only come for her.

A Gen 2 business changes one thing. It gives the AI you already use, Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, a shared understanding of the whole business, across the systems you already run. You keep the software. You keep the AI. Kula Intelligence connects the two, so you can ask a question in plain language and get an answer that draws on more than one system. From your phone, on the floor, between classes.

We wrote about the thinking behind this in The Gen 2 studio. AusFit is where it becomes something you can try.

A senior teacher resigns on a Tuesday

The example we keep coming back to happened in a live session with a studio manager, mid-conversation, when a teacher texted to resign. We told that story in episode one. The short version: with the business context already connected, one question turned into replacement options, the members most at risk from the change and the next actions. No prebuilt workflow, and nobody opened a spreadsheet.

You can ask a version of that question yourself today. The Ask is a live conversation with Juniper Studio, a real studio with its name changed and everything else left as it is. Tap "If my top teacher left?" or "How are we going today?" and watch the answer come from the studio's own data. Then ask it something of your own.

Tribe: the same context, in your instructors' hands

Owners are not the only people who have to hold the business in their heads. Your instructors walk into a room of thirty people knowing who is booked and not much else.

Tribe is the app your teachers and instructors open. Their schedule across every studio they teach at. Who is coming before they arrive. Whispers: a quiet nudge about a member who may need a connection, and why. Messages in one place instead of four group chats. Covers they can pick up in a tap. Their compliance documents, current. The point is not more software for teachers. It is less time operating software and more time with people.

Tribe ships with Kula Fitness. Read more at the Tribe app.

Where this goes next

The shared understanding under the AI and under Tribe is the part we think matters most, because it is what everything else builds on. Tools shaped by the people who know the business. Work handed to AI that draws on the same context. That is the direction of Gen 2, and we will show it at the stand as exactly that: where it is going, not something to buy today. The four parts, and what you can use now, are in the next post.

Come and find us

We are on Stand 65 at AusFit 2026, ICC Sydney, on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September. Bring a question about your own business, the one that takes three logins to answer, and tell us which booking system you run. We will put it to the demo with you and be straight about what Kula can do for your setup today.

If you cannot make it, the demo does not need a stand. Ask your whole business at kula.digital/ask.
