Not every agency owner can afford 1-2-1 coaching and most agencies don’t have the budget to provide every team member with a mentor.

But what if you could have a virtual coach available 24/7 to guide your agency? A digital assistant that operates like your own personal agency expert, dishing out expert advice tailored specifically for your business? Or what if you could create your own AI knowledge base to support your team or become the first line of customer support?

That's the premise behind an AI coaching platform (a newish concept that is about to become very commonplace), and today I'm going to pull back the curtain on my journey creating one called AskRobAnything. 

By listening to this episode of The Agency Accelerator podcast, you’ll learn how to:

1. Streamline your knowledge into an AI system, allowing for on-demand, accurate business advice that directly reflects your expertise.

2. Understand the nuances of AI technology in coaching, ensuring you prepare and structure your training data effectively to avoid counterproductive results.

3. Utilise AI to enhance your team’s productivity and decision-making capabilities, offering a consistent, reliable resource that grows alongside your agency.
