Attuned TalkCoach

What It Does

Attuned TalkCoach is an AI-powered coaching platform designed specifically for managers navigating difficult workplace conversations. Built on the science of 11 intrinsic motivators—including Autonomy, Progress, Security, Altruism, and more—TalkCoach delivers personalized, actionable guidance for every hard conversation, from giving critical feedback to retaining top performers.

Who It's For

TalkCoach is built for managers, team leads, and organizational leaders who need to motivate diverse teams, handle sensitive situations, and reduce turnover. It's trusted by enterprise organizations including Autoliv, Hitachi, and Nissan, along with 100+ teams who need more than generic advice.

The Problem It Solves

Most workplace coaching ignores what actually drives the individual in front of you. With only 31% of employees engaged at work and $2 trillion lost annually to low productivity in the US alone, managers need tools that go beyond one-size-fits-all scripts. TalkCoach addresses the motivation gap—the difference between what each person needs and what they're currently receiving—turning that insight into blind-spot-aware, person-specific coaching.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Motivation-Based AI Coaching: Get advice tailored to the intrinsic motivators of specific team members, not generic ChatGPT-style responses
• 11 Intrinsic Motivators Framework: Built on validated assessment data measuring Security, Status, Social Relationships, Competition, Rationality, Progress, Feedback, Innovation, Altruism, Financial Needs, and Autonomy
• Real-Time Conversation Support: Describe any workplace situation—difficult feedback, stuck projects, disengaged employees—and receive immediate, actionable coaching
• Team Assessment Integration: Full platform includes 10-minute intrinsic motivation assessments and bi-weekly 30-second pulse surveys for continuously calibrated advice
• Pre-Built Personas: Start immediately with realistic team member archetypes (the ambitious new hire, the brilliant but blunt specialist, the over-committed helper, the change-resistant anchor)
• Privacy-First Design: Conversations stay in your browser; no account required to start

Typical Workflows

Managers can begin using TalkCoach instantly without signup, selecting a persona or describing a situation to receive coaching. For maximum precision, teams take the Attuned Motivation Assessment, which unlocks coaching calibrated to actual individual motivators and team dynamics. The platform supports ongoing scenarios like 1-on-1 meetings, performance reviews, feedback delivery, retention conversations, and new manager training.

What Sets It Apart

Unlike generic AI assistants, TalkCoach is the only AI coach built on previously unavailable intrinsic motivation data. It identifies managerial blind spots and motivation gaps between individuals, delivering coaching that accounts for why someone with high Autonomy needs might react differently to micromanagement than someone driven by Security. The result: more accurate difficult conversations, better retention, and unlocked performance before exit interviews happen.
