The article deals with topical issues of digitalization of psychological support in sports. The authors substantiate the demand for modern solutions based on digital technologies using artificial intelligence in the athletes’ preparation. The results of the literature review showed that for the development of information and analytical systems for psychological support of athletes, as one of the promising solutions for the systematization of scientific and practical knowledge, in accordance with the state policy of the Russian Federation on the development of physical culture and sports using digital technologies, it is advisable to use chatbots. The presented review of existing developments allows us to state that despite their rapid development in our daily life, they are less represented in the field of sports. The existing solutions at this stage of development are far from perfect and need serious refinement both from a technical point of view and synthesis of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge.
