"Pinnacle has been instrumental in my development as a manager, equipping me with the skills to absorb, interpret, and shape my experiences effectively.

ChatGPT is brilliant but generic. We enrich best-in-class LLMs with company context (drawn from competencies, values, training materials, policies, etc.), individual needs (drawn from performance reviews, real-time feedback, etc.), and proprietary leadership content. We can even embed your company's leadership training right into the coaching.
Our AI coach integrates real-time feedback and proprietary content, providing high-quality, personalized micro-learning and ongoing coaching. This approach surpasses basic AI tools by synthesizing real employee feedback, authentic interaction data within the platform, and professional coaching expertise to provide a more effective development experience. Unlike general AI systems, our solution also provides an end-to-end workflow for management development. In addition to real-time coaching, automated monthly feedback creates a development plan, which delivers curated content in the flow of work.
Pinnacle can be set up in a manner of days. Install our Slack app, share any relevant company documentation (values, culture manifestos, competencies, etc.) tell us which users you want to get started with, and presto!
As premier executive coaches ourselves, our founders appreciate the value of a good coach! But they also know that a coach can only be there infrequently, and only has the context their coachees give them.
Pinnacle is there for your employees every moment of every day. It naturally integrates individual performance data, real-time 360 feedback, and an employee’s career path. It pulls in company context, so its tips are relevant not for any company, but for your company.
Pinnacle is also much more scalable than live executive coaching. For the same price point as you are paying for coaching a few, you can provide high-quality service to coach all of your managers and high performers.
Pinnacle helps personalize learning and advance behavior change, much like an LMS, but with better and more measurable results: 83% of direct reports of users say their manager has actually improved. Fundamentally, it’s an entirely new category.
The main differences between Pinnacle and traditional eLearning solutions are that Pinnacle is personalized, interactive, and embedded in the flow of work. Instead of generic learning tracks, Pinnacle curates micro-learning to individuals’ unique needs. Instead of static videos that teach you about a topic, Pinnacle’s interactive coach actually teaches you how to apply topics within a given situation. And instead of multiple clicks to get to an external portal employees don’t use, Pinnacle incorporates directly in existing messaging tools like Slack and Teams.
Some of our clients use Pinnacle alongside their existing LMS, while others replace their learning ecosystem with Pinnacle - it’s up to you!
Pinnacle turns your system of record into a system of action. Instead of a passive system employees refer to infrequently (if ever) outside of mandatory performance reviews, with Pinnacle your data powers direct learning and daily coaching. Help your employees actually develop the behaviors their managers identified for them, and unlock continuous development with monthly conversations.
Pinnacle integrates with most performance management systems to directly pull in relevant data, so you don’t have to.
Pinnacle is built on top of the most up-to-date large language models (LLMs). As you can see in our data privacy policy, we take extreme care with our client’s data. Here are a few of the core principles:
