What does a Voice AI agent tuned for professional coaching feels like?
Over the past few weeks, we’ve built a suite of cognitive tools that make our voice agent super effecting at teaching complex concepts. These “agentic” capabilities let it teach, assess, visualize and personalize in ways traditional Voice AI agents don’t.
Below is an overview of each tool and how it elevates your coaching experience.
1. Memory Tool

Recalls relevant details from previous sessions — your goals, strengths, personal anecdotes, even prior quiz answers.
Why it matters:
- Continuity: Picks up right where you left off, without re-asking the same questions.
- Personalization: Adapts examples and feedback based on your unique background and progress.
2. Ask MCQ Tool
What it does:
Presents multiple-choice questions, captures your selection, and provides instant feedback.
Why it matters:
- Active learning: Keeps you engaged with knowledge checks.
- Structured assessment: Gauges comprehension of concepts before moving on.

Starts, stops, and tracks timers for any duration you set.

- Real-time feedback: You get immediate, contextual suggestions right in your editor.
7. End Session Tool
