Meet Cleo, an AI business coach you can actually talk to.
Cleo is a demonstration of the voice coaching agents we build at Fortell Impact. In the real world these run on an ordinary phone line, so anyone can reach them with a normal call. Try the browser demo below to hear how it feels to talk to one.
Your browser will ask for microphone access. Speak naturally - Cleo will listen and respond, just like a real phone call.

What our coaching agents do
Cleo is a coaching agent built on the same platform we deploy for clients. Here is what makes these agents useful in the real world.
Natural voice coaching
Cleo holds a real spoken conversation, no menus or button-pressing. It asks questions, listens, and responds in the moment like a human coach.
Remembers across calls
In a real deployment the agent recalls what each person committed to last time, picks up where they left off, and tracks progress over weeks.
One practical step per call
Sessions stay short and focused. The agent teaches a single actionable idea, helps the person plan how to apply it, and captures a small commitment.
Scales to hundreds of people
The same agent can coach an entire programme of participants at once, on their own schedule, for a fraction of the cost of one-to-one human coaching.
Coaching entrepreneurs in Kenya
In partnership with Shortlist Futures, the Gates Foundation, and Inkomoko, we are deploying a phone-based AI coaching agent for women microentrepreneurs in Kenya. They reach it with a normal phone call, no smartphone or internet needed.
Cleo is a demo of that same coaching technology, so you can experience how it feels to be on the other end of the line.
Where this can be used
Voice coaching agents fit anywhere you want to reach a lot of people with personal, spoken guidance that scales.
- +Onboarding new customers or members through a guided, spoken walkthrough
- +Reinforcing training between in-person sessions so lessons actually stick
- +Regular check-ins that keep people accountable to their own goals
- +Reaching people with low literacy or only a basic feature phone, where voice beats apps and forms
