We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.

Heyday is an AI-powered thought partner that helps executive coaches be more present with clients.

Over the past month, we launched the first version of our advanced AI tooling, specifically aimed at the executive coaches of the world. Since then, we’ve been rolling out weekly updates. Here’s the latest.

Within the month, we’ll be rolling these advances out to everyone, and we can’t wait.

If you have clients you work with regularly, let’s talk. We’ll help.
