Your AI coaching partner, grounded in cognitive science.
Make sense of your career and move forward with confidence through context-aware coaching conversations.
We turn cutting-edge AI research into real-world solutions that support people's growth, decisions, and daily lives. We value scientific rigor over speed, and choose what's right over what's trending.
Empathy is not an afterthought, it's at the heart of everything we do. We design safe, inclusive, and intuitive experiences that center people's needs in the products we build and in how we work together.
Innovation happens where differences meet. We bring together diverse disciplines, perspectives, and experiences to create more than the sum of our parts, and grow through one another.
We take full ownership of what we build and full responsibility for its impact. We don't just follow through: we show up, we learn, and stay accountable in the real world.
