As a coach, it may seem self-defeating to be telling you all about things you can do for yourself so you don't need a coach. Of course, there's nothing like the human connection of working with a coach. AI won't replace that any time soon, however, there are times, (and I've been there myself) when you really need some coaching support but you just don't have the money. Or maybe you are having coaching but would like some extra support in between sessions.


8 AI tools for self-coaching

Here are some thoughts about how you can tap into AI to help yourself. For each point, I've included an example of an app or website that's relevant. Please note I haven't personally used all of these, I've added them in through research.

1. AI-powered self-reflection: A mirror to your mind

The first step to self-coaching is self-awareness, and AI can be your trusty mirror to reveal your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Use AI journaling apps that employ sentiment analysis to track your daily moods. These apps help you identify patterns, triggers, and areas of improvement. For instance, if your AI journal highlights that you often feel stressed on Mondays, you can dig deeper to uncover the underlying causes and take proactive steps to manage them.

Moodnotes (iOS) is an app that employs AI-driven sentiment analysis to help you track your daily moods, identify patterns, and gain insights into your emotional well-being.

2. Chatbots as accountability partners

Meet your new best friend, your AI accountability partner! Just like you'd schedule regular sessions with a human coach, set up routine conversations with an AI chatbot. They're available 24/7 to help you stay on track with your goals. Whether you're aiming to hit the gym, practice mindfulness, or conquer a new skill, your AI buddy is there to cheer you on, offer motivation, and remind you of your commitments.

Woebot (iOS, Android) is an AI chatbot designed to provide emotional support and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. It engages in conversations with you, helping you stay accountable to your goals and offering guidance along the way.

3. Neuro-boost: Hacking your brain for success

Let's dive into the exciting world of neuroscience! Our brains are wired to seek rewards and avoid discomfort. AI can tap into this by gamifying your goals. Use habit-tracking apps that provide rewards, badges, or points as you achieve milestones. Your brain's pleasure centre will light up like a 4th of July fireworks show, making the journey to success a delightful adventure.

HabitBull (iOS, Android) is a habit-tracking app that uses gamification to reinforce positive behaviours. You earn rewards, streaks, and badges as you consistently complete tasks, giving your brain that sweet dose of dopamine.

4. Personalised learning with AI curators

Remember those times you wished you had a personal librarian to curate resources tailored to your interests? Well, AI can do just that! Platforms like AI-powered content curators can gather articles, videos, and podcasts specifically aligned with your goals. Whether you're aspiring to boost your leadership skills, enhance your creativity, or cultivate better relationships, your digital librarian will serve up a buffet of knowledge to feast upon.

Flipboard (iOS, Android) is an AI-powered content curation app that gathers articles, news, and multimedia content based on your interests. It's like having a personalised magazine tailored to your preferences.

5. Mood-boosting playlists and brainwave symphony

Music has the power to elevate your mood and increase focus. AI-generated playlists can craft the perfect sonic environment for your tasks, whether you're seeking energy for a workout or tranquillity for meditation. Moreover, delve into the realm of brainwave entrainment – AI can create symphonies that sync with your brainwaves, helping you reach optimal states for learning, creativity, or relaxation.

Brain.fm (iOS, Android, Web) offers AI-generated music designed to enhance focus, relaxation, or sleep. The compositions are designed to align with brainwave patterns, creating an optimal auditory environment for your activities.

6. AI as your empathetic listener

Ever wished you had someone who'd listen to your thoughts without judgement? AI can be your non-judgemental confidante. Voice recognition technology allows you to speak your mind, offering an outlet for self-expression. As you voice your worries, aspirations, and challenges, you might just stumble upon your own solutions. Think of it as a therapeutic monologue with a digital twist!

Replika (iOS, Android) is an AI chatbot that engages in meaningful conversations, offering a platform to express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It's like having a digital friend to share your thoughts with.

7. Visualising success with AI vision boards

A picture is worth a thousand words, and an AI-assisted vision board is worth a million dreams. Use AI to create dynamic, digital vision boards that bring your goals to life. Incorporate images, quotes, and even short videos that resonate with your aspirations. Your brain will be more inclined to manifest your desires when it sees them vividly depicted.

Canva (iOS, Android, Web), with its AI-powered design features, allows you to create dynamic vision boards with images, quotes, and graphics that resonate with your goals and aspirations.

8. The AI Guru: knowledge and wisdom on demand

Curiosity is the driving force behind personal growth. With AI, you have a wise old guru at your beck and call. Use AI-powered search engines to quench your thirst for knowledge. Whether you're delving into quantum physics or perfecting your culinary skills, your AI guru will provide insights and answers faster than you can say "enlightenment."

Good ol' Google Search with its AI-enhanced algorithms can quickly provide you with a wealth of information and answers to your burning questions, ensuring your thirst for knowledge is quenched.
