Mentor Coaching AI v2: Audio Transcription, Rebuilt Feedback, and Simpler Plans

Over the past months we listened closely to how coaches actually use Mentor Coaching AI — what helped, what felt like busywork, and what got in the way before a session review could genuinely support their development. We rebuilt a large part of the product around what we heard.

The goal of v2 is narrow and practical: help you turn a real coaching session into clearer, more useful feedback with less manual work.

Quick Answer: Mentor Coaching AI v2 adds coaching-specific audio transcription (upload a recording, skip the manual transcript), a rebuilt feedback engine aligned to how coaches review sessions, a cleaner review workspace, and simpler plans — plus a 3-day free trial with no card required.

Upload audio, skip the manual prep

Previously you had to prepare a transcript before you could get anything useful out of the platform. That step alone stopped a lot of reviews from happening.

v2 includes voice transcription built for coaching conversations. Upload a recording of a session and we turn it into a usable transcript for review — no copy-paste, no formatting, no third-party tool in the middle.

Transcription minutes are tracked separately from your AI session analyses, so turning a recording into text doesn't quietly burn an analysis you were saving for the feedback itself.

A rebuilt feedback engine

We rebuilt the grading and feedback experience to make the output clearer and better aligned with how coaches actually review their own sessions — not a wall of generic observations, but feedback you can act on.

It's important to be honest about what this is for. AI feedback doesn't replace human mentor coaching, and it won't get you a credential on its own. What it does well is help you notice patterns across sessions, surface moments worth revisiting, and prepare sharper questions — so your next mentor coaching conversation or performance evaluation prep starts from a stronger place.

A clearer workspace for reviewing sessions

We redesigned the experience around the real workflow coaches use:

• Upload or paste a session
• Review the transcript
• Run an AI session analysis
• Understand strengths, gaps, and next steps
• Come back to the session later when you're preparing for mentor coaching or credentialing work

The new version should feel easier to navigate, and clearer after your very first session.

Plans that match how coaches actually work

We also simplified pricing and packaging into three plans built around different stages and levels of use:

• Students — for getting started with AI-supported session review.
• Chasing Credentials — for coaches actively preparing for ACC, PCC, or MCC. This is our recommended plan, and includes level selection, marker tables, and ICF-ready, performance-evaluation-style DOCX export.
• Mentor Coach — for higher-volume review and mentor-grade workflows.

Every plan now includes both AI session analyses and transcription minutes, so it's easy to understand what you can do each month. Active subscribers who need a little more before their next renewal can add a top-up that includes both extra analyses and extra transcription minutes. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

A free trial focused on your first real value moment

New users can start with a 3-day free trial — no card required. The trial includes:

• 1 AI session analysis
• 40 transcription minutes

That's enough to try Mentor Coaching AI on a real coaching session — upload or paste it, run the analysis, and see the feedback quality for yourself — before choosing a plan.

Why we made these changes

The feedback we heard was consistent:

• Coaches wanted less manual transcript preparation.
• The first session review needed to feel easier.
• Plan limits needed to be clearer.
• Pricing needed to match real usage.
• Feedback needed to be more practical for preparation and reflection.

So instead of small surface changes, we rebuilt the core experience around that feedback — and we'll keep refining it as you use it.

Try the new version

Mentor Coaching AI is built to support serious coaches preparing for ICF credentials — not to promise a guaranteed pass, and not to replace the human mentor coaching that credentialing requires. It's here to make your own review faster, clearer, and more useful between those sessions.
