AI manager coaching — available 24/7, grounded in your data.
The first AI manager coach that actually knows your people. Get performance snapshots, review drafts, and calibration prep in Slack or Teams — grounded in ONA data, not generic advice. Scales to every manager in your company.
Traditional manager coaching doesn't work at scale
Executive coaches cost $500-1,000 per hour and are reserved for senior leaders. ChatGPT doesn't know your people, your culture, or your performance data. HR can't personally coach 200 managers through review cycles, calibration meetings, and daily performance challenges.
The result? Managers wing it. They write reviews from memory instead of evidence. They walk into calibration meetings with opinions instead of data. They avoid tough performance conversations because they don't know how to handle them.
And when managers struggle, everyone suffers: top performers don't get recognized, underperformers don't get course-corrected, and bias creeps into decisions because no one's there to catch it.
Confirm changes this. We built the first AI manager coach that's available 24/7 in Slack and Teams, grounded in Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) data from your actual collaboration tools, and trained to help managers make better decisions faster. It's not generic advice — it's company-specific, data-driven coaching that scales to every manager in your organization.

Get instant coaching in the tools you already use
Managers message Confirm's AI coach directly in Slack or Teams. Ask for performance snapshots ('How is Sarah doing this quarter?'), request review drafts ('Generate a draft review for my direct reports'), or get calibration prep ('Show me who might be inflation risks on my team'). No context-switching, no scheduling, no waiting for HR availability.
Real-time performance snapshots grounded in ONA data
Ask about any direct report and get an instant summary: collaboration patterns, cross-functional contributions, network centrality, recent performance trends — all grounded in objective behavioral data.
Available across all timezones (async-first workflow)
Managers in London, San Francisco, and Singapore all get instant coaching. No scheduling, no waiting for business hours. The AI coach is always on, always ready, always grounded in your company's latest data.
Coaching recommendations based on data, not hunches
Traditional coaching relies on what managers tell their coach. Confirm's AI coach has access to ONA data: who collaborates with whom, who drives cross-functional work, who people go to for help. Every coaching recommendation draws from objective behavioral evidence. No more 'I think Sarah is struggling' — instead 'Sarah's collaboration network shows 40% fewer interactions this quarter compared to Q3.'
ONA data from Slack, email, calendar, GitHub, Jira
Confirm passively measures collaboration from the tools your team already uses. No surveys, no extra work. By the time managers need coaching, months of objective evidence is already available.
Cross-functional contribution visibility
Traditional reviews only capture what managers see. ONA reveals contributions that cross team boundaries: the engineer who mentors across orgs, the PM who enables five other teams. Hidden talent becomes visible.
Catch bias before it causes harm
Managers inherit bias from their own experiences, managers, and culture. Confirm's AI coach actively flags bias patterns in review language and rating decisions. Gender-coded language ('assertive' vs 'aggressive'), affinity bias (rating similar-to-me higher), recency bias (over-weighting recent performance). The AI coach suggests more equitable language and asks managers to reconsider inconsistent ratings.
Real-time language bias detection
Flags gender-coded language, achievement attribution bias (luck vs. skill), and inconsistent standards across demographic groups. Catches bias in the moment, before it gets written into the permanent record.
Rating pattern analysis across demographic groups
Identifies patterns where groups (remote workers, minorities, certain genders) consistently receive lower ratings despite comparable ONA contribution data. Surfaces structural bias that individual managers can't see.
From 8 hours per review to 90 minutes
Traditional review process: managers stare at blank boxes, struggle to remember Q1 performance, write generic summaries from memory. Confirm's AI coach generates comprehensive review drafts for every direct report. Each draft grounded in ONA data + review history + continuous feedback threads. Managers spend time editing and personalizing instead of writing from scratch.
GPT-4 generated review drafts for all direct reports
Every draft includes evidence citations: 'Collaborated with 14 cross-functional partners in Q4' is more useful than 'works well with others.' Managers edit to match their perspective, not write from scratch.
Suggested development areas based on performance patterns
AI identifies skill gaps and growth opportunities from ONA data: 'Sarah's network centrality in product discussions has declined — consider coaching on stakeholder engagement.'
Show up to calibration meetings with data, not just opinions
Calibration meetings are where managers defend their ratings to peers and leadership. Without data, it becomes politics: loudest voice wins. Confirm's AI coach pre-packages calibration data: ONA contribution evidence, peer comparison data, inflation/deflation risk flags. Managers walk into calibration with objective evidence, not just gut feel.
Pre-built calibration packets (ONA data, peer comparisons, rating distribution)
AI coach assembles everything managers need: how each employee compares to peers in similar roles, where ratings might be inflated or deflated, which decisions need the most scrutiny.
Peer benchmarking (how does this employee compare to similar roles)
See how Sarah's collaboration patterns, cross-functional contributions, and network centrality compare to other senior engineers. Data-driven peer comparison instead of subjective manager opinions.
"[Confirm finds] which workers are vital to the flow of information."
