Coinbase CTO says he's getting 'the best feedback' of his career from an AI agent

In an era hyper-focused on results, continuous feedback from AI coaches may be the next iteration in optimizing performance.

Coinbase's Chief Technology Officer, Rob Witoff, has been receiving some of the most valuable feedback of his career from an AI agent named Coinbase Coach. The company recently launched a beta version of this internal AI tool, which analyzes internal data from various sources such as Google Docs, meeting transcripts, GitHub commits, and Slack messages.

The tool provides employees with candid feedback on their interactions, without being included in performance reviews or available to managers. Witoff believes that this approach fosters a culture of proactive coaching, with the AI agent offering feedback on communication skills and encouraging employees to step back from being too tactical.
