How Skills Differ from Coaching
Skills are task-oriented. You select a specific skill, answer a few questions, and receive a ready-to-use deliverable. The AI follows a structured template to ensure consistent, high-quality outputs.
Coaching is conversation-oriented. You chat freely with an AI agent, exploring topics and receiving guidance. The interaction is more fluid and exploratory.
Both modes leverage your company playbooks and personal memory for personalized results.
