Introducing Eels AI

Eels AI Logo

Today, I’m proud to introduce Eels AI, an agent that has been programmed and fine-tuned to be an extension of my voice.  It’s a tool designed to guide work or career conversations to produce a tangible resource that you alone control and choose how to use.

Early on, the idea was to solve the intake problem. The first meeting between two strangers discussing serious matters can be tough. Within a short timeframe there are introductions, problem reviewing, trust building, competency proving, and hopefully mutual understanding. In summary, the kickoff 1:1 felt wildly inefficient.

However, as it was coming to life, its mission evolved from just a company value-add to something that could make a major impact on client/coach, team member/leader communication.

I consider this a glimpse into the future of coaching and organizational 1:1’s. A step toward calls, meetings, and knocks on the door coming with more substance.

Today, most sessions are ad-libbed.  Or worse, there’s no time for them.  As AI utilization in the coaching space increases, rather than dismissing it, we’ve brought together the best of both worlds.

This is not meant to replace a coach or human.  In fact, we hope it brings people closer together through more exposure and better understanding.  Our tool utilizes someone’s own input and thoughts to steer a conversation, provide a perspective, and get to root cause faster.  The tangible product produced through a simple ‘summary’ prompt can be used alone or as we would advise, with a trusted mentor, coach, or leader. 

If you’ve experienced coaching before, think about how those sessions usually go.  Now, imagine a scenario where your coach comes prepared to the call with a summary highlighting the top talking points, key themes, and proposed next steps of whatever is on your mind so you can get right to it.

The tool is openly available on www.eelsdevelopment.com.  Go give it a try.  It will tell you exactly what it is and what it does.  Whether a real or mock situation, generate a summary so you can see how it works and maybe even for some self-reflection.  If you choose to, have a copy automatically sent to me so we can discuss it together or depending on the situation, pull in Nino from our coaching network.

I welcome all feedback of your experience through either DM or at jose@eelsdevelopment.com.
