The problem it solves

Generic career advice doesn't help the people in your community, but you can't hire enough coaches to give everyone personal attention. Members ask the same kinds of questions over and over, and there's no easy way to keep track of where each person is in their journey.

Who it fits

Women's communities, coaching platforms, HR teams, or edtech creators offering career support at scale.

How it works

  1. A member starts chatting, with no signup required
  2. The system checks whether they're new or returning using a Google Sheets record
  3. New members answer a few questions about their career stage and goals
  4. AI detects what kind of help they need and responds with tailored advice
  5. Every Sunday, members get a personalized check-in email with a challenge and encouragement
What you get

Members who feel coached, not ignored

Community members get a chat-based coach that remembers their goals and sends them a personalized check-in every week.

What you get

A personalized chat reply plus a weekly coaching email, with every conversation logged in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
