Overview

ChampionEffect is an AI Coach that teaches AI to every employee at a company, in Slack and Teams.

The Coach helps with a new AI concept, a new workflow, or any tool. It jumps on a call and walks you through the work, just like a coworker would. It points to the top use cases in your industry and tailors everything to your company’s needs and tools. Every time someone does a walkthrough with the Coach, it learns how real work gets done at the company and uses that knowledge with other coworkers.

Before this, we ran a YC company (Cambly) that taught English to millions of professionals and generated $100M+ in revenue. Now we’re using what we learned to teach millions about AI.
