It thinks strategically, pushes your thinking, and genuinely coaches you, not just answers your questions. A must-have sounding board for any leader serious about getting better. ### 5/5 — A Real Leadership Coach *2026-07-24* There are so many apps out there that claim to be leadership coaches and they’re not. ALEX engages in real conversations with me and cuts right to the heart of challenges I’m facing and gives me real advice. Everything else gives me lists of impractical guidance that I’d get from a google search. Not ALEX. I get actual behaviors specific to my situation that I can go do immediately. ### 5/5 — Advice that makes a difference *2026-07-24* It’s awesome to have an app that actually hears and gives you advice and feedback like your mentor would. I’m always giving ALEX new issues or scenarios and each time it takes the time to understand the situation and give simple and actionable but POWERFUL advice. ### 5/5 — Game Changing Leadership Tool *2026-07-24* I’ve been in leadership development for over 20 years and I’ve used AI routinely since 2022. This app is literally the best I’ve come across. It’s incredible value for the investment. I even share with clients and they are amazed at the quality of the conversation and how it helps them be a better leader, and do their job better. A must have for anyone who believes leadership development is mission critical. ### 5/5 — ALEX = BFF *2026-07-24* Been using ALEX for a while now in my browser, but this app is a game changer. Such a smart, intuitive tool that no doubt makes me a better leader and communicator. ALEX will forever be my BFF. ### 5/5 — I don’t want to go a day w/o ALEX ever again!!! *2026-07-24* ALEX has become part of how I think/work through so many moments. The output and advice is so much better than any other AI. ### 5/5 — Powerful *2026-07-24* This is an incredibly powerful tool. There’s a lot of AI stuff out there — some good, some less so. ALEX understands leadership and interpersonal dynamics in a way I’ve never seen. It’s practical, and I use it all the time both for work and for my personal life: as a spouse, parent, son, and friend. ### 5/5 — tfox *2026-07-24* I wish I only worried about work during business hours, but often something important pops to mind in the evening. ALEX is a great compliment to a regular coach and allows me to clear my head for a more peaceful evening and then a more productive tomorrow. ### 5/5 — Practical daily habits that stick *2026-07-24* Much of my job is getting people to listen and take things seriously. ALEX gives me one small thing to practice each day, and it’s specific enough to actually use. Quick to open, no fluff. A few months in and it’s still on my home screen. ### 5/5 — Your Leadership Caddy *2026-07-24* ALEX is like having the world’s best executive coach following you around 24/7. Easy to use, better advice, and a game changer for those tricky moments when another human isn’t available to be a thought partner. I’ve used other AI coaches and the advice is either generic or not contextualized enough. ALEX asks the right questions in order to give the best advice. ### 5/5 — Order of magnitude *2026-07-23* ALEX stands apart from the broad range of AI tools I have access to. Most draw from the same pool of internet content, which can result in generic guidance. ALEX is different in that it is grounded in the empirical research and client experience of the experts at CRA. This is the same foundational methodology and content they use to train their own team. For those keen on improving their leadership, ALEX moves the needle. ### 5/5 — Coach at my fingertips! *2026-07-23* I’m a big ALEX fan, but now glad to have it mobile. It’s made it a lot easier to quickly pop a chat into ALEX and get realtime advice throughout the day. Definitely the best tool of its kind on the market. ### 5/5 — A Tool That Actually Thinks, Not Just Pretends To *2026-07-23* I’ve used a lot of AI tools. Most are impressive on the surface and generic underneath. ALEX is different. It doesn’t feel like advice scraper from the internet—because it’s not. It feels like talking with a friend or co-worker who happens to have spent decades studying how exceptional leaders behave. The app’s accessibility is on par with any of the household-name models. Voice Mode feels like a genuine conversation, photo / document upload works smoothly and provides specific, actionable feedback, and the dictation feature offers a balance of live / text feedback. Worth your time if you take leadership seriously. ### 5/5 — Leadership Advisor In Your Pocket *2026-07-23* This is hands down the best AI leadership coach. It interacts with you like a coach would— asking smart questions that improve your approach and challenge conventional wisdom (rather than an AI chat bot programmed to agree with you and churn out as much advice as possible). While I primarily use it as a thought partner on things like managing time, giving feedback, and holding teams accountable, ALEX is also particularly adept at giving advice on navigating challenging relationships and delivering nuanced or sensitive communication. ### 5/5 — Great Use of a Deep Knowledge Base *2026-07-22* I’ve been reading the Admired Leadership Field Notes daily newsletter for years. To be able to dive deep into that knowledge base in this unique way is a real treasure. ### 5/5 — Trusted Advisor 24/7 *2026-07-22* ALEX is the executive coach in my pocket whenever I need one. From advising me on how to approach different situations, push my thinking, or articulate on paper what’s already in my head, it’s like having a trusted advisor available 24/7. ALEX truly makes me better with every conversation. ### 5/5 — Strategic Account Executive *2026-07-22* Six months in and ALEX is a regular part of how I prep for client conversations. I use it to think through discovery, work objections, and navigate challenging situations. What I like most is asking ALEX to give me a different perspective and call out my blind spots. It does that well. If you want something that actually pushes your thinking rather than just validates it, this is worth your time. ### 5/5 — It’s like having a human coach in my pocket 24/7! *2026-07-22* ALEX has become part of my daily routine. It feels like having a leadership coach in my pocket – the guidance is better than any other AI. It doesn’t pull generic info from the internet, rather it gets to know you and engages in conversations based on proven leadership behaviors. I’ve noticed real changes in how I handle tough conversations both personally and professionally. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — 24/7 - Leadership Coaching *2026-07-22* Finally, a leadership tool that actually fits my life. I was skeptical at first. Another app promising to make me a better leader? But 15 minutes a day with ALEX has genuinely changed how I lead. The conversations feel real, the advice is specific and actionable, and it meets me wherever I am: whether I'm prepping for a tough conversation or just thinking through a decision. It's like having a trusted advisor in my pocket, available whenever I need one. If you're serious about getting better as a leader, this is worth your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — ALEX makes you better *2026-08-17* Having ALEX is like having a leadership coach right in my pocket. I’m always impressed by how it presses me for more context about my specific scenario and also makes me a more critical thinker. I’ve learned to ask better questions of myself and my own work through using ALEX, and it’s become a really helpful tool in my own personal and professional development. ### 5/5 — ALEX is my secret weapon *2026-08-17* I’ve led people & teams for quite a few years but as a leader, have never experienced the rapidly shifting demands and expectations present today. Having ALEX as a resource whenever I need to expand my thinking, pressure test any idea or just get an unbiased view on a decision I’m making has been a huge game changer. Highly recommend . ### 5/5 — The Way to “Better” *2026-08-17* An amazingly powerful breath of fresh air. Most of what you find in leadership development these days is the same tired mix of platitudes and bromides…nothing useful or insightful. Alex is in a class of its own. You won’t find anything else that comes close to its ability to make an instant impact. ### 5/5 — Shockingly good *2026-08-17* I’ve been using a variety of AI tools to make me better and Alex blows my mind. Alex gathers the right context so “he” can be very diagnostic in his advice and he brings the research rationale to you, not just trendy leadership platitudes. He’s an amazing thought partner on little and big things. A must have tool for the new manager. ### 5/5 — Keeps finding ways to make me better! *2026-08-01* ALEX doesn’t just search Admired Leadership’s proprietary data. It helps me apply it to a growing array of situations, as if it is living through these experiences. The nuance, coupled with conversational empathy, is amazing. ALEX challenges me to think better, pay attention, and ultimately, do better. ### 5/5 — Perfect for organizing my thoughts quickly into conversation mode *2026-07-31* I use Alex to review my field notes and put the notes into a email or letter which you’re much more organized than I can do quickly. Alex asked questions that help with writing reports as well as emails for cover letter, letters for proposals. ### 5/5 — Game Changer for Leadership *2026-07-30* This app is an amazing resource for anyone looking to become a stronger, more effective leader. The AI coach provides practical thoughtful guidance that feels personalized to real work situations. It’s easy to use, insightful, and helps turn concepts into action. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better leader. ### 5/5 — Practical Leadership Coaching On Demand *2026-07-28* ALEX is the real deal, it’s not chock full of repackaged AI management tips like others I’ve tried. It asks thoughtful follow up questions and pushes back when I’m avoiding the real issue. The advice is always actionable and best of all, I’ve always got a sounding board at my finger tips. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Road tripping with ALEX *2026-07-28* I talked to ALEX for 4 hours while driving out of town for work recently. I’ve never felt so productive in the car. We talked about everything that was top of mind including getting ready for a big client meeting, conversations I’ve been having with my kids, and a recent intense moment of fellowship with my spouse (we don’t have arguments at my house ;). When I got home I was tired as usual but also had a clarity about things I otherwise would not. The ability to talk directly to ALEX was nothing short of magical. ### 5/5 — A great partnership *2026-07-24* I never imagined that getting such thoughtful advice would be so easy. ALEX doesn’t just agree with me. It challenges my thinking and helps me be better while resolving concerns I have whenever I need it.
