Humantelligence Launches Ask Aura AI Coaching Platform to Address Global Manager Engagement Crisis

Humantelligence, a leading provider of AI workplace solutions, announced the launch of Ask Aura, a personalized, real-time workplace coaching innovation designed to help organizations unlock team potential and foster stronger collaboration, leadership, engagement and productivity. The timing is critical as global employee engagement drops to its lowest levels in years, with Gallup's 2025 State of the Global Workplace report revealing that manager engagement has declined more than any other job category—dropping from 30% to 27%—while manager effectiveness has also plunged significantly.

Ask Aura combines psychometric science with generative AI to provide employees with instant, context-aware guidance on leadership, communication and team dynamics directly within the workflow. The platform becomes especially relevant as companies adopt Microsoft Copilot, with Ask Aura complementing the tool by taking Copilot insights to the next level with more personalized GenAI insights for individuals and teams. With 70% of employee engagement tied directly to managers, this engagement crisis threatens the productivity and performance of entire organizations, making solutions like Ask Aura essential for modern workforce challenges.

Top organizations including Accenture, Coca-Cola, HSBC Bank, EY, Honeywell and Cigna are already piloting the solution, while industry leaders like BASF, AFLAC, Bank of the West and Ashley Furniture leverage Humantelligence's platform. Ask Aura addresses the engagement crisis head-on by delivering real-time, personalized coaching and collaboration guidance directly where teams work, helping managers understand how to motivate teammates, navigate interpersonal conflict, or adapt to new roles with smart, empathetic, and tailored advice.

The platform offers instant, 24/7 guidance for managing team dynamics, communication, feedback, conflict resolution and onboarding, with contextual, personalized insights powered by psychometric science and generative AI. It features seamless integration with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Slack, and Zoom, voice-enabled and multilingual access across devices, and enterprise-ready compliance with SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA standards. As Kara Kaplan, Chief Commercial Officer of Humantelligence stated, "We built Ask Aura for the modern workforce—where managers and their teams are stretched thin and employees crave more meaningful connection and direction. It's time to equip every manager with smart, scalable support."

Humantelligence CEO Juan Betancourt emphasized that Ask Aura is the first talent management AI agent that enhances, not replaces, people—making work more human by increasing emotional intelligence and deepening human connections. The tool empowers leaders and employees alike with real-time coaching and development, strengthening leadership skills, improving team dynamics and fostering meaningful engagement across entire workforces. From conflict resolution to onboarding and retention, Ask Aura turns every employee interaction into a moment of growth, collaboration and impact, accessible through an easy chat-like interface embedded within the tools teams use every day at https://www.askaura.ai.
