Not a chatbot.
A coaching infrastructure.
Multi-modal coaching that adapts to each individual's developmental journey. Text, voice, group dynamics, and proactive agentic interventions — all in one engine.
Modalities
Three Ways to Coach
Conversational Coaching
Conversational Coaching
ICF-aligned coaching conversations via chat. The coach adapts to each individual's developmental stage, building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness over time.
- Contextual memory across sessions
- Hypothesis generation — identifies behavioral patterns
- Adapts coaching style to developmental stage
- Multi-language: English, Hindi, German, Japanese, French, and more
Tough Conversation Practice
Tough Conversation Practice
Real-time voice roleplay with an AI counterpart. Practice difficult conversations — a resistant direct report, a high-stakes client, or a challenging board member — in a safe environment with structured debriefs.
- Real-time voice interaction
- Multiple adversary archetypes (passive-aggressive, confrontational, etc.)
- Structured debrief with behavioral scoring
- AI-powered vocal intelligence — real-time analysis of speech patterns, emotional tone, pacing, and conversational energy
Multi-Party Dynamics
Multi-Party Dynamics
Multiplayer roleplay sessions for team coaching. Multiple participants join a simulation room and navigate complex group dynamics with AI adversaries — board presentations, cross-functional negotiations, and conflict resolution.
- Easy join system with unique access codes
- Structured turn management for balanced discussions
- Per-participant behavioral debrief
- Supports 2-8 participants per session
Agentic Intelligence
The Coach That Reaches Out First
Traditional coaching waits for the employee to show up. Dehurdle's agentic layer detects coaching moments and intervenes proactively.
Meeting Intelligence
Scans your calendar and sends coaching nudges before important meetings. Prepares agenda talking points, stakeholder mapping, and post-meeting reflection prompts.
Triggered by calendar context — proactive meeting preparationGoal Coaching
Detects stale goals and stuck sub-tasks. Sends proactive nudges to re-engage with abandoned development plans and celebrates milestone completions.
Triggered autonomously via dynamic inactivity thresholds and behavioral stagnation signalsBehavioral Signal Detection
Monitors engagement patterns, session depth, and coaching interaction quality. Detects behavioral stagnation and triggers specialized interventions to break plateaus.
Triggered by engagement delta and session frequency signalsProactive Check-ins
Reaches out to employees who haven't engaged recently — not with a generic nudge, but with a contextualized message based on their last coaching topic, goals, and calendar load.
Triggered by inactivity threshold — personalized timingScience-Backed
Rooted in Developmental Psychology
The coaching engine synthesizes two foundational frameworks — adult developmental psychology for cognitive maturity, and stratified systems theory for role complexity — to calibrate every intervention to the individual.
Socialized Mind
Derives meaning from external validation. Seeks approval from authority figures. Coaching focuses on building internal reference points.
Behavioral Signal: Relies on peer and authority validation to process friction
Self-Authoring Mind
Has an internal value system and personal framework. Makes decisions based on own principles. Coaching focuses on expanding perspective.
Behavioral Signal: Navigates friction through an internal strategic compass
Self-Transforming Mind
Can hold paradox and question own framework. Sees multiple systems simultaneously. Coaching focuses on navigating complexity and ambiguity.
Behavioral Signal: Holds competing frameworks simultaneously without resolution anxiety
Safety-First Architecture
Every coaching interaction passes through a multi-layer distress detection system. Keyword analysis across 25+ languages, LLM verification for context, and automatic escalation to designated human responders. Organization-specific crisis response protocols ensure there is never a gap between detection and action.
