What is Leora AI?
Leora AI, by New Level Work is a revolutionary executive coaching and training solution powered by advanced artificial intelligence, designed to enhance leadership development. From personalized goal setting to real-time coaching, Leora AI offers a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to work seamlessly alongside our human coaches and training programs or as a standalone leadership development tool.
Why Isn’t ChatGPT Enough?
While generative AI models like GPT-o3 have broad knowledge and can generate impressive conversational responses, they fall short when it comes to leadership coaching. Leadership development is a nuanced, quality-driven field that requires more than just information; it demands wisdom, context, and a deep understanding of personal dynamics.
Despite leveraging sophisticated prompt engineering techniques to guide ChatGPT, we found that these models struggled with coaching. They would sometimes hallucinate, offer advice prematurely, or avoid asking essential clarifying questions. They also lacked the ability to maintain continuity and build a meaningful memory over time—critical elements in effective coaching.
What Makes Leora AI Stand Out?
What sets Leora AI apart is the depth of expertise and experience it draws upon. At New Level Work, we have a rich history of live coaching, working with experienced coaches who have guided executives through real-world leadership challenges. This hands-on experience is a cornerstone of our approach, and it feeds directly into Leora AI’s design.
In addition to leveraging the insights gained from thousands of live coaching sessions, we’ve built an extensive library of leadership materials, including recordings, training guides, and proprietary research. These resources empower Leora AI to provide advice that mirrors the quality and depth of human coaching.
And what makes New Level Work truly unique is our hybrid model—combining the best of human and AI coaching. While Leora AI can operate as a standalone tool, we believe the future of leadership development lies in the synergy between human insight and AI precision. Our coaches can use Leora to enhance their sessions, ensuring leaders receive the personalized guidance they need while benefiting from 24/7 support and continuous development through AI.
This combination of rich human expertise and cutting-edge AI is the core of our new business model, setting us apart from the growing field of AI training and coaching tools.
How Did We Make Leora Work?
Leora operates as a multi-agent system with various AI models working together to deliver a seamless experience. Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes:
- A “Small” LLM handles personal information identification and Named Entity Recognition (NER).
- An Embedded Model indexes our proprietary leadership materials into vector space for easy retrieval.
- An AI Judge/Reviewer evaluates the conversation, advising ChatGPT to explore topics in more depth or shift focus when necessary.
- A Memory Layer captures key moments and tracks the coachee’s competencies for future reference, ensuring the advice evolves with the user…
- A Query Transformer optimizes user input, transforming it into a precise query for our retrieval system.
And more, all contributing to the AI’s ability to deliver high-quality, contextually relevant coaching.
Leveraging Activeloop AI Knowledge Agents for Advanced Data Retrieval
To power Leora AI’s brain with our proprietary data, we needed enterprise grade, highly accurate retrieval with reasoning. We chose Activeloop for advanced role-based access controls that can be copied from our cloud storage, support for contextual embeddings and multi-modal deep reasonsing, and the ability to handle both original and PII-censored data.
With Activeloop we achieved lower latency and faster response times in both R&D and production environments. It also ensures enterprise-level security and full compliance with GDPR, making it a perfect solution for our needs.
