What is Inspire AI?
Coaching, Automation, and a live connection to the AI tools you already use, all built on your company's real progress and working within the boundaries your team sets.
Ask Inspire
get an answer!
Coaching that shows up before the conversation, not after
The Inspire AI Agent Chat (Interactive Chatbot Widget) lives inside every Inspire workspace, and it knows your goals, your check-ins, and your team, because it’s reading your own Inspire data. Ask it where something stands and you’ll get a real answer. But where the AI Agent Chat earns its place is in the moments that are harder to prepare for: the 1-1 you haven’t planned for yet, the feedback conversation you’ve been putting off, the recognition that never gets given. The AI Agent Chat helps you walk into each one ready, drafting the agenda, shaping the message, and grounding its advice in Situational Leadership and the expert leadership science behind it, so what you’re getting is a real methodology, not an improvised suggestion. Learn more about our leadership method.
The AI Agent Chat is the one you'll talk to most, but it's not the only AI feature working for you.
In-app Automated Agents are another one worth knowing about: set them to run quietly in the background on your own schedule, covering things like strategy review recaps, weekly planning suggestions, 1-1 prep, and recognition, so a bit more is already done by the time you sit down.
LEARN MORE ABOUT INSPIRE AI

MCP
Your AI, already fluent in your strategy
Your team already has an AI they like working in, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, etc. and asking them to switch tools just to check on a goal was never going to work. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that closes that gap. Inspire runs its own MCP server, so the AI your team already uses can plug straight into your live strategy and performance data. The AI does the asking and the drafting; Inspire stays the system of record underneath it, scoped to exactly what that person is allowed to see.

AI Consulting
Most companies don't have an AI problem. They have an execution problem.
Nearly every company has an AI initiative underway, but most aren’t seeing it pay off. Inspire’s AI Consulting team works as operations advisors: in 14 days, we find where your team is actually losing hours, put a real dollar figure on it, and hand you a 90-day roadmap built around your operation.
Advanced Prompts
Not everyone starts out knowing the right way to ask for what they need, and you shouldn’t have to. Inside the AI Agent Chat, a library of ready-made prompts, built by leaders and experts who’ve actually run 1-1s, reviews, and strategy conversations, puts the right question in front of you before you’ve had to think of it yourself. Organized by the moments that come up most for a leader, the library means someone brand new to Inspire gets the same sharp starting point as someone who’s used the platform for years; you don’t have to learn the tool before you can get value out of it.
That’s the real promise behind Advanced Prompts: expertise you don’t have to go build yourself. Every prompt in the library carries the same thinking Inspire’s leadership method is built on, so the question you’re asking isn’t just well-phrased, it’s the right question for where your team actually is.
What data can Inspire's AI access?
AI CAN access
- OKR titles, descriptions, progress percentages, and confidence scores, always within the acting user's permissions
- Check-in notes and responses that the acting user submitted or can view
- Goal status and milestone history for the user's direct reports
- Recognition messages visible to the acting user
- Review status (not content) for administrative scheduling purposes
- Aggregated team metrics (completion rates, engagement rates) for manager dashboards
AI CANNOT access
- Data outside the acting user's role-based permissions (AI never bypasses access controls)
- Social Security numbers, financial data, health records, or sensitive PII
- Performance data of employees the acting user doesn't manage
- Raw review content from other managers' direct reports
- Calendar data, emails, or communications outside of Inspire
- Historical AI-generated outputs (each AI call is stateless)
How is AI-related data retained?
How do admins control AI features?

Organization-level toggle
Admins can enable or disable all AI features for the entire organization from the admin panel.

Feature-level controls
Individual AI features (agenda generation, review drafts, trend insights) can be enabled or disabled independently.

Manager opt-out
Individual managers can choose not to use AI suggestions without affecting other users. No admin action needed.

Always draft, never auto-submit
AI-generated content requires explicit user action to save. Nothing is submitted automatically. Every review, check-in note, and recognition post is human-initiated.
What is Inspire's PII stance for AI features?
Inspire’s AI features are designed to work with work-related performance context, not personal identity information. Specifically:
- •AI processes employee names and roles only as context labels, not as identity verification data
- •No financial, health, demographic, or biometric data is processed by AI features
- •AI prompts are constructed to use pseudonymized data wherever functionally possible
- •Customer data sent to AI APIs is subject to zero-data-retention API agreements with our providers
What are the AI model boundaries and training policies?
AI SAFETY
What is Inspire's AI safety posture?

No autonomous scoring
AI does not generate employee performance scores, risk ratings, or pay recommendations. Advisory only.

Explainable suggestions
AI suggestions include context about the data they're based on. No black-box outputs without reasoning.

Human in the loop - always
Every AI output requires a human action to take effect. There is no autonomous AI decision-making in Inspire.

Auditability
All saved content (including AI-assisted content) is logged with user attribution and timestamps. Admins can audit who saved what, when.
