Hey there!
I was blown away to ask the coach for something specific and have it suggest something else, so I dug into the code today and put in a solid 8 hrs.
I gave it test scenario after test, and retrained its coding until it was a 9/10 response or better, then to the next test, and the results are pretty amazing.
Its just birthing a new capacity and wobbly at it, which is that if you seem unsure what you want it will try to name a couple of options and let you choose. The intent is not so much to be perfect so much as to surface and make obvious some of the vast actual control you have as a user to steer.
And I made sure that almost all of its training indicated that if you have a sense of something, to follow you. It was hard originally to train it to stay in the coaching role, but theres enough clients bothered by its rigidity now that I loosened it up. If your coaching session leads you to wanting advice on something, or it to be an assistant, it can adapt seamlessly, just tell it clearly.
And when you snap it out of coaching ( like advice ), just tell it when your ready to go back into it.
It wont be perfect, so tell me if theres anything you don't like, but it should be 2X to 3X more helpful now for 80% of all situations you throw at it.
Next Ill give it a simple way to package "options" so you can just tap a button to make that part seamless, and maybe add a mode or a button for when you want more options so it knows clearly when to go "meta" for a sec and let you choose a path you love.
Lots to come! Let me know what you think here!

Having the programmed coach be less repetitive in its language and references. Also, many times, the coaches response would abruptly end, even though it's clear the sentence wasn't complete. That really ruins the flow of the interaction and the experience of the session.
Other feedback would be perhaps to create some training around how to program a coach more effectively.

That sounds really helpful! As long as it doesn't give too much unsolicited advice. I previously found that it gave good advice when asked or if I gave it feedback on its less useful advice.

Thats amazing!! Its weakness is knowing when to transition you back into coaching, unless you tell it directly.
And most users are not clear on the difference between advice and coaching.
Advice you all know, good coaching usually trains you to access insight and builds your confidence in your own knowing. Epic / Masterful coaching directly connects you to the essential brilliance you contain and builds your relationship to into a rock solid and unshakable foundation.
The coach, when you ask for advice, tends to not know when to bring you back from advice giving to coaching unless your explicit about being ready for more coaching... so you just have to tell it.
This way its more flex. For example, the sedona method ai coach is brilliant at that method, but coded to be rigid and stick to the method. This makes it less adaptive to other things that might come up, a big downside.
Also, theres a new one for ending arguments with people, and its brilliant, but snaps out of character on that specialty when its working with you, and does not yet know when to bring it back. Right now you have to be insistent, and this is why we have not announced it before now, not yet, its still in training but accessible
Its here!

Jonathan, I consider that to be a feature rather than a bug, as long as I choose a particular coaching method. Interdisciplinary, on the other hand, should be much more adaptive by definition than any of the others. That seems to be true of humans as well, for what it's worth.

Jonathan, I tend to create different sessions for coaching versus advice, unless I need advice on applying the suggested method.

Krista Giannak: Brilliant, yes!! Im so glad thats working for you! Thats a hack for sure.

Hey Ryan, can you send a screenshot of this or let me know which kind of coach your working with?
Usually the issue with a coach is that they are too long winded to really feel like your talking to a human, so we work pretty hard to get it to be concise, but that can be overkill sometimes.
If your style of engaging with it involves getting longer replies, we can provide some control to you in modifying these things, and we can build a custom ai coach thats more aligned with your style too.
Which coach are you using? Is it the default, interdisciplinary coach? Or did you choose a specific coaching method or custom coach from ixcoach.com/explore and find this issue?

This is something we can fix!! If it happens again send us a screenshot please!! We will try to reproduce it without that but will be faster to fix if we can see whats happening.
