Is generative AI a viable tool for high-level executive coaching, or just a sophisticated search engine? Brandon Held joins Harmonious at Lunch to demonstrate how he's moved beyond standard AI limitations. He has programmed and built his own custom GPT, embedding his unique life coaching methodology directly into the model. This isn't about generic prompts; it's a guided experience designed to function like a conversation with Brandon himself.

This discussion explores the practical applications of custom AI for leaders and entrepreneurs. We cover the critical difference between information-retrieval AI and a true coaching AI, the process of training a model on your specific expertise, and the potential for creating scalable mentorship within your organization. Discover how this approach could fundamentally change employee development and personal performance management.
