One of the interesting things about coaching is that people often already know the answer when they come to me to explore a question.
There is an intuitive knowing, but they get tangled up in:
➡️ doubting themselves
➡️ fear
➡️ pressure
➡️ overthinking
➡️ conflicting priorities
➡️ other people’s expectations
That’s one of the reasons I created Hans AI.
With a click of a button, you have your own thinking partner 24/7 to assist you in thinking more clearly and efficiently about critical issues, such as:
➡️ career decisions
➡️ leadership challenges and
➡️ major crossroads.
Hans AI is trained on my coaching content and to comply with the standards of the International Coaching Federation. You can move it onto the home screen of your phone and operate it in your own voice, so no need for cumbersome writing; and it understands 10 languages.
I would love to hear what you think of it.

Small change, big difference: You can now move Hans AI onto your phone home screen.
That means your free career coach is just one tap away whenever you need support.
Hans AI is intentionally different from tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Rather than jumping straight into advice or information, it starts by asking clarifying questions and then coaches you using principles aligned with the competencies of the International Coaching Federation.
The result is a more thoughtful, reflective experience designed to help you:
✅ think more clearly about career decisions
✅ work through challenges before they escalate
✅ prepare for difficult conversations or key meetings
✅ build greater self-awareness over time

I’d love to hear what you think if you try it.

I’ve just relaunched Hans AI
When I first built it, I positioned it too broadly.
The result? People didn’t fully understand what it was for.
So, I went back to the drawing board and rebuilt the experience around the use case where it creates the most value:
Helping professionals think through career crossroads, difficult decisions and leadership challenges.
Hans AI is trained on my coaching frameworks and designed to ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions and help people gain clarity, rather than simply dish out advice.
It’s effectively an on-demand AI coaching companion. And it’s FREE!
You can try the new version here: http://hansschumann.com/hans-ai
Would love your feedback if you give it a go.

About a year ago, I created Hans AI, an AI clone trained on my content, coaching style and the competencies of the International Coach Federation.
Understandably, people were sceptical.
But those who have tried it have shared feedback like this:
“Hans AI feels like a supportive mentor that focuses on the why behind your work. I noticed how well it listens. Instead of offering generic advice or pushing its own opinions, it asks thoughtful follow-up questions that encourage you to reflect on your motivations. The conversations naturally focus on soft skills and personal development, with the tool acting as a sounding board rather than simply producing answers. It ends up feeling less like something doing work for you and more like a partner that helps you understand what you enjoy and how to approach your professional life with greater clarity.”
Hans AI is not a replacement for me.
But in some ways, it does things better:
▶️ it has endless patience
▶️ it’s available 24/7
▶️ it has access to more knowledge than any one person could realistically hold
▶️ and it’s completely free

I’d genuinely be interested to hear what you make of it.
