CoachHub, a leading global digital coaching platform, has introduced its AI Coaching Companion, the latest development from CoachHub’s proprietary AI technology, AIMY™. The AI Coaching Companion, available as an add-on feature through the CoachHub app in Microsoft Teams, offers a 24/7 conversational partner for coachees, ensuring their learning and development are always at their fingertips.
CoachHub’s AI Coaching Companion, which the participants can access through conversational AI help between coaching sessions, offers the following features:
- Guidance on concrete situations: The AI-powered conversational tool offers a secure space for continuous learning and problem-solving.
- Role-playing: The companion facilitates practice in critical communication skills, including managing uncomfortable conversations and providing peer feedback, to promote lasting behavioural change.
- Personalized learning recommendations: The AI Coaching Companion leverages insights from previous interactions to provide tailored nudges with content specifically designed to meet individual programme goals. This approach enhances knowledge retention and fosters the development of new habits, making each coachee feel uniquely supported in their journey.
Sharing his thoughts about the newly launched platform, Matti Niebelschuetz, CEO and Co-founder of CoachHub, said:
Coaching is fundamentally human-centered and thrives on deep empathy and extensive experience. Our AI Coaching Companion builds on this practice by partnering with clients to enhance reflection, unlock potential, and generate actionable insights. This groundbreaking feature supports coachees in their development journey and extends the capabilities of coaches, providing tailored insights that enhance well-being and performance in every session.
Harnessing insights from individual learning objectives and user behaviour, the AI Coaching Companion delivers tailored responses aligned with company goals. With cutting-edge capabilities, it introduces “AI thoughts” that emulate human behavior, ensuring thoughtful communication and maximizing response accuracy. The AI Coaching Companion is available in English, French, and German, with more languages planned in the future.
According to data from CoachHub’s AI in Coaching Survey, 77% of HR managers believe AI has the ability to improve professional development at all organizational levels. There is a strong need for solutions like the AI Coaching Companion, as evidenced by the fact that 90% of global CEOs aim to raise or retain their L&D investments, as LinkedIn’s 2024 Workplace Learning Report reported.
With CoachHub™, organizations can create a scalable, measurable, and personalized coaching programme for every employee, regardless of department or level of seniority. Organizations that do this stand to gain a great deal from it, including enhanced job performance, higher productivity, higher employee engagement, and higher retention. The company’s global pool of coaches comprises over 3,500 certified business coaches in 90 countries across six continents, with coaching sessions available in over 80 languages to serve more than 1000 clients. The firm is backed by leading tech investors, including Sofina, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Molten Ventures, Speedinvest, HV Capital, Partech and Silicon Valley Bank/SVB Capital. In September 2021, CoachHub acquired French digital coaching pioneer MoovOne to build a global champion focused on jointly democratizing coaching.
