AI coaching for managers
The AI coaching platform that builds real leadership capability
Most managers learn to coach by getting it wrong with a real person. RealTalk is an AI coaching platform where managers practise the feedback conversation, the development talk and the performance review first, with virtual team members who react and push back.

Attensi's in-house consultants can help with setup if needed, so your team gets a tailored solution without the heavy lift.

Each deployment is customized with sector-specific scenarios, language, and coaching frameworks, so managers practice the exact conversations they face in their role.
The best AI coaching tools let managers practise the conversation itself and give specific feedback afterwards, rather than another video on how to give feedback. RealTalk is AI-based coaching built that way: managers hold feedback conversations, development talks and difficult coaching moments with virtual humans that respond and push back, then get scored on tone, empathy, directness and follow-through. RealTalk has been named to Training Industry's Top 20 AI Coaching and Learner Support Tools three years running.
A manager opens a scenario - a performance review, a development talk, feedback on missed deadlines - and holds the conversation with an AI team member who reacts to tone and wording. Afterwards they get scored on tone, empathy, directness and follow-through, and they can repeat the conversation until it feels instinctive. The free coaching scenario on the RealTalk demo page shows a full session in about 5 minutes.
