Asking the AI better questions

Feature available from the Professional plan (unlocked during the free trial).

The quality of an answer depends as much on the question as on the memory available. A few simple habits help you get precise, directly actionable answers, whatever the mode. The examples below cover the five modes of the Memory Chat: Client mode, Practice mode, Pilot mode, Group mode and Company mode.

Good habits

Pick the right mode first — this is the setting with the most impact. Client mode for one person, Practice mode for a cross-cutting question, Pilot mode for a count, Group mode for a group or workshop, Company mode for a client organization. A good question in the wrong mode gives an off-target answer.
Be specific — "What goals did Sophie set over the last three sessions?" gives a much better answer than "Tell me about Sophie".
One question at a time — break complex requests into successive questions rather than a single catch-all query.
Scope your request — a period, a theme or a specific client helps Memo focus ("over the past 6 months", "on self-confidence").
Build on your good questions — as soon as a phrasing works well, save it in My starters (below the input field) to re-run it in one click next time, in the same mode.

Examples by mode

Client mode — focused on one person, sources pointing to their sessions

"Where does Sophie stand on her relationship to authority?"
"What has changed over the past 6 months?"
"Prepare a progress checkpoint for me before the next session."

Practice mode — cross-cutting, for patterns and recurrences

"What recurring blockers do my clients in career transition share?"
"What patterns recur among clients who drop off early?"

Pilot mode — volumes and counters, numeric answers

"How many sessions do I have this week?"
"How many clients haven't had a session in 2 months?"
"What's my average weekly session load?"

Group mode — focused on a group or workshop

"What themes recur in the Codev A group?"
"Where does the group stand on its collective goals?"
"Prepare a progress checkpoint before the group's next session."

Company mode — focused on a client organization

"What cross-cutting topics come up among the people I coach at this company?"
"What's the overall progress of my engagements across this organization?"

In Pilot mode, Memo answers in numeric text and shows its own visuals (breakdown-by-channel donut, weekly load); however, don't ask it to generate an export or a custom chart — those formats aren't available there.

💡 Tip: stuck for ideas? Start a new conversation: the Explore your coaching memory home screen offers an example question for each mode, which you can pick up and adjust. Your saved starters stay accessible below the input field.
