Cicero Coach: the future of AI-driven coaching

Cicero Coach is your employees' personal, 24/7 AI coach, offering real-time guidance and personalized feedback for continuous improvement. Your team no longer has to search for answers or wait for feedback. Cicero Coach instantly and continuously gives them context-aware information, tailored support, and personalized feedback through natural, conversational interactions.

Dispense with expensive, time-consuming decision trees and trying to tease out answers. Cicero Coach offers a smarter solution, intelligently and directly addressing your employees' questions. Most importantly, you can make the coach knowledgeable quickly and cost-effectively with easy ingestion of your business information.

How it Works

Cicero Coach provides instant access to essential internal company information, allowing employees to ask questions about policies, products, sales, regulations, and more, whenever they need clarity. The AI adapts to individual needs, accelerating skill mastery and fostering continuous improvement. Building upon scenario-based roleplay training, Cicero Coach elevates everyday learning by offering real-time conversational support and unmatched flexibility.

Enterprise-grade privacy: unlike generic AI tools like ChatGPT, Cicero Coach is designed for secure, confidential training. It only uses your uploaded content, ensuring complete data privacy and making it ideal for organizations with sensitive information.

Key benefits: what Coach adds to your Cicero experience

1. Real-time, on-demand guidance

  • What scenarios do: scenarios provide pre-built, structured environments for users to practice specific skills or workflows.

  • What Coach adds: Coach acts as an on-demand AI assistant that offers real-time coaching and feedback during interactions. Users can ask questions, clarify doubts, or receive guidance mid-session—something static scenarios cannot provide.

2. Personalized, adaptive feedback

  • What scenarios do: scenarios are designed to simulate specific situations with outcomes based on KPIs, offering feedback based on those scenarios.

  • What Coach adds: Coach dynamically adapts to the user’s input and performance in real-time. It provides personalized coaching tailored to the individual, such as tone adjustments, phrasing suggestions, or alternative approaches based on context.

3. Knowledge summarization and reinforcement

  • What scenarios do: scenarios focus on applying knowledge within a specific context (e.g., handling objections in a sales pitch).

  • What Coach adds: Coach can summarize complex information (e.g., product details, pricing updates) into digestible insights and reinforce learning through Q&A-style interactions. It’s like having a personal tutor that simplifies material and ensures retention.

4. Flexible use cases

  • What scenarios do: scenarios are ideal for practicing specific tasks or workflows (e.g., elevator pitches, customer service calls).

  • What Coach adds: Coach is more versatile—it can be used for:

    • Answering ad hoc questions about products, policies, or processes.

    • Guiding users through step-by-step processes without requiring a pre-built scenario.

    • Coaching users on general skills like communication or negotiation in a broader context.

5. Continuous learning beyond roleplay

  • What scenarios do: scenarios are designed for roleplaying specific situations but may not address ongoing learning needs outside of those contexts.

  • What Coach adds: Coach supports continuous learning by acting as a personal search engine and safe AI assistant for private, company-specific knowledge. It helps users stay updated on new information (e.g., product launches) and practice skills without requiring structured scenarios.

6. Enterprise-grade privacy and security

  • Both scenarios and Coach are private and secure within Cicero.app; however, with Coach, admins can upload sensitive materials (e.g., confidential training documents) and users can interact with them directly in a controlled environment without creating new scenarios every time.
