Abstract

Life coaching may help you achieve your goals, improve your quality of life, and improve your psychological wellbeing. In two investigations, we investigated the ability of a speech-based conversational agent coach (CAC) to offer a coaching programme for goal accomplishment. In both the pilot and main studies, participants demonstrated a substantial rise in personal growth initiative (PGI) after completing the programme. The primary study’s participants also reported a substantial improvement in life satisfaction (SLS) and a significant decrease in negative affect. Both studies evaluated the application’s usability, satisfaction with the coaching programme, and adoption intention positively. The findings indicate that working on goal accomplishment with the CAC had a favourable influence on the participants’ psychological well-being. The study offers an experimentally verified strategy to automated coaching interventions and emphasises the potential of conversational bots for providing life coaching.
