px and Oura Advisor, compared.
Oura measures the night and the readiness, and its Advisor talks you through them. px connects to Oura directly and is one coach across training, mind and food. Here is what each one does, and how to use both.

What each one is
Two different jobs.
px
px is one coach across Move, Mind and Fuel. It builds a plan from your pursuit, sets each day from your sleep, training, calendar and how you feel, and gives the reason for every change. Oura connects to px directly: sign in once, and px reads your workouts, sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, steps and weight from then on.
Oura Advisor
Oura Advisor is the AI companion inside the Oura app, part of Oura Membership at $5.99 a month or $69.99 a year with the first month free. It reads your Oura scores and their contributors, your activities and tags, and answers questions about them, with a women’s health model built with clinicians. Oura says it is not a substitute for medical care, and that it may occasionally give an unexpected answer.

Which one
One, the other, or both.
Oura, if you want the measurement
A ring that measures the night, the readiness and the stress better than most, and an Advisor that explains it. Nothing here changes that.
px, if you want the day decided
A plan for what you are pursuing, and each day set from the night the ring measured, across training, mind and food, with the reason.
Both, if you already wear one
Keep the ring on. Oura measures and its Advisor answers; px reads the ring directly and makes the call. You stop carrying the decision yourself.
Using both
Oura measures. px decides.
Connect Oura under Settings › Health & devices › Manage devices in the px app. Sign in once, and from then on px reads your workouts, sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, steps and weight as the ring syncs. Oura’s scores stay in Oura’s app; px sets your day from the readings behind them, against your own normal.
px withholds the readings and workouts that come from Oura from every request it sends to its AI providers, and deletes what it holds from Oura within 72 hours of a disconnect, as Oura requires.

Questions
Does px replace the Oura app?
No. px is not a wearable and makes no hardware. Oura measures and shows; px reads what it measures and decides what to do about it across training, mind and food.
Does px read my Readiness score?
px reads the sleep, heart rate, HRV, steps, workouts and weight Oura shares, and sets your day from them against your own normal after the first week. The Readiness score itself stays in the Oura app; the guide under Works with explains what to do when it is low.
Do I need an Oura to use px?
No. A phone is enough. px works with Garmin and Oura directly, with more than thirty other apps and devices through Apple Health or Health Connect, and with nothing at all.
Tomorrow morning, already decided.
Seven days are free. By this time next week, px knows your normal.
