Been working on a small team exploring what the intersection of coaching, employee engagement, and AI looks like. (https://engage.myemmaai.com/)

Most employee engagement software is just placation for HR. When it's common that the lowest scoring question on feedback cycles is "I believe that action will be taken based on the results of this feedback," there's something fundamentally broken with how companies handle feedback, and how the tools their given enable them to react to it.

Our end goal is to help leaders and managers identify problems with trust and communication within a team. The reality is, 90% of the time, the problem lies with the leadership itself. We're trying to provide both the tools to diagnose what the problems are, and frameworks for managers to fix them.

Looks neat! Keen to see where you go with this. I cofounded a small training company and we had something similar in mind for a while: a digital tool giving managers and orgs insight into team engagement, with diagnosis and tools based on our leadership framework. In the end we focused on consulting and in-person engagements but I think there's a lot of potential in what you're building.

Coaching is still a big part of what we're building, and I think it will be an ongoing option for orgs to have the option to bring in coaches to dive into their leadership and communication issues.
