We believe that the the future of AI Coaching lies in a personal assistant that can integrate a range of contexts to give each individual user a better and more personalized coaching experience.

Valence’s Nadia is moving quickly along this path. We have built a context-first AI assistant that is trained on the best practices in coaching, knows management principles inside-out, can learn about your company’s values and approach, and will remember context about each user - from their preferences on coaching to details of their work to their learning goals.

The result is the only AI Work Coach that gets smarter over time.

This is not an easy problem to solve, but if anyone can, it will be Valence's AI team.

”Most chatbots aren’t personal and don’t really adapt to us over the long term,” Jeff said. “We can create systems good for one task, but how do we scale that into AI assistants that can help us with all our tasks—and that know us and the context well enough to do so meaningfully? That’s the challenge laid out before us. If we do this right, we will create a personalized AI coach that you can’t work without.”
