Guide

AI coaching tools and prompts: a guide for coaches

AI coaching tools let you extend your support beyond the hours you can work. This guide covers the main types of tools, prompts you can use today, and where The Coach Buddy fits in.

What an AI coaching tool can do

Answer between-session questions

Clients ask the same questions between calls. An AI version of you answers them instantly, in your words, so live sessions go to deeper work.

Put your frameworks to work 24/7

Your courses, notes and signature methods become knowledge your clone can quote and apply, whatever the time zone.

Help people who come to you

Your coach page and chat widget answer questions from people who choose to visit, so they can learn about your services and book a session if they want to.

Learn what clients struggle with

Conversations show the questions that come up most, which helps you plan your sessions and materials.

Types of AI coaching tools

General AI chat assistants

Useful for drafting session notes and summaries. They don't know your methods unless you explain them every time.

Scheduling and admin tools

Handle bookings and invoices so you spend less time on admin.

Transcription and note-taking

Record and summarise calls so you can review progress and spot patterns.

AI clones of the coach

Trained on your own material and voice, so clients get answers in your style when they ask between sessions. This is what The Coach Buddy does.

AI coaching prompts you can use today

Copy these into any AI assistant and fill in the brackets.

Session prep

Here are my notes from the last two sessions with a client: [notes]. Summarise their progress, list open commitments and suggest three questions to open our next call.

Session recap for your client

Summarise today's session with my client working on [goal] in a short, warm recap I can share with them, including one reflective question and their next small step.

Turn a framework into exercises

My framework is [describe it]. Create a five-day exercise plan a client can follow on their own, with one task and one reflection question per day.

Spot recurring themes

Here are the questions clients asked me this month: [list]. Group them into themes and suggest which ones a workshop or guide could answer.

Explain your method clearly

Using this sample of my writing as a style guide: [sample], write a clear 150-word explanation of [topic] for my clients' resource library.

Where The Coach Buddy fits in

Prompts work well for one-off tasks. The Coach Buddy goes further by giving your clients an AI version of you.

  • Your clone learns from your own courses, notes and frameworks, so you don't need to re-explain your method in every prompt.
  • Clients get instant answers between sessions in your tone, while you keep your calendar for live work.
  • Your clone only replies to people who start a conversation on your coach page or chat widget. It never sends emails, texts or messages to anyone.
  • You stay in control: you set the tone, welcome message and frameworks your clone works from.
