The new strategy is the easy part.
Helping your people keep up is the hard part.

Now, when priorities shift on Monday, your people can adapt by Tuesday.

BetterUp, the global leader in human transformation, today announced a breakthrough suite of new human + AI coaching capabilities that transform episodic programs into continuous, intelligent development so enterprise companies can drive workforce readiness in an era of constant change.

Why it matters

Companies are moving fast, but people systems haven’t caught up. Business priorities shift quickly, but development still runs on outdated, episodic models. And most employees don’t get the timely support they need to grow with the work. The result is a growing gap between potential and performance. Closing it is one of the clearest opportunities for impact today.

That changes today

With the Human + AI Coaching for All product release on the BetterUp Platform, we unify two powerful forces: human coaching that drives nuanced, high-stakes breakthroughs, and AI coaching that builds daily capability.

Together, they create a shared feedback system – no handoffs, no gaps, no wasted context. Every interaction makes the next one smarter. Everything scales in the flow of work. Development adapts in real-time. And the results are measurable.

BetterUp Human + AI for All makes development as agile as your priorities

Close the gap between who needs development and who gets it

While 73% of middle managers feel unprepared for their role, most programs reach less than 10% of employees. AI-only tools offer shallow interactions. Traditional coaching can’t reach beyond senior leadership. Only BetterUp delivers synchronized experiences at scale — without compromise.

New research from BetterUp Labs shows why this works: employees naturally turn to AI coaching 16% more for immediate challenges like difficult conversations. And human coaches excel at deeper leadership development like executive presence (leading by 13.5%). Now, with Human + AI Coaching for All, workforce development is accessible across the entire organization—from 500 employees to 50,000.

Key benefits of Human + AI Coaching for All

Human + AI Coaching for All delivers the following benefits to enterprise customers:
