Artificial Intelligence is at the forefront of all technological advancements, and we are now seeing tools that use AI technology to coach people.
Does it work?
Can we be really effectively coached by robots?
To be honest, I was very sceptical at first. ‘No one replaces me, an experienced, empathetic organisational coach with over 10 years of coaching executives under my belt!’ I heard myself saying.
But I was also curious, especially when I was asked to test this very technology on our DISC platform. I am not sure you are aware, but in addition to designing and delivering cultural change and leadership development programs, I am also the Partner of DISC Flow for Australia.
DISC is a diagnostic tool that helps leaders gain insight into their natural preference for communicating and working. It’s one of the most popular assessments of this kind worldwide. DISC has made a huge difference to my clients, especially when the reports and skills are used consistently across teams and the organisation. I would go as far as to say that DISC has helped change organisational cultures for many of my clients.
Last week DISC Flow launched FLOWAI which includes an AI Coach and I must say, I am impressed.
What is FLOWAI?
FLOWAI is a cutting-edge large language model that explores emotional intelligence, offering unmatched insights into the behaviour of individuals in a professional setting.
Think: DISC Styles, Group and Team Views, Chat GPT and a personal Online Coach combined
Not only can team members who have completed a DISC Profile, compare their natural behaviour style with others in their organisation, but they can also use FlowChat by simply typing a question and getting specific advice for strategies on how to approach people with different styles for certain situations, meetings or interactions. FlowChat is a bit like Chat GPT or Copilot and it even writes comms to teams to prepare for upcoming DISC Workshops and it even writes content for your landing page offering DISC Services…the possibilities are endless.
FLOWAI as your Personal Coach
The tool that has impressed me the most is the AI powered ‘My Personal Coach’. FLOWAI users can choose between 3 coaching structures (iGROW Coaching, Clear Coaching and OSKAR Coaching) and bring coaching goals or challenges to the Coach via the chat function.

do coaching bots work?
For me, there is no question that Coaching Bots work and add value. I don’t think that human coaches will be totally replaced, but the FLOWAI Coach is a fantastic value add for any novice leader, middle manager and anyone who would benefit from independent coaching at a much lower cost point. In addition, the FLOWAI Coach is accessible at any time 24/7.
