Personos, a new Relationship AI platform, has made its official debut, helping social workers, executives, managers, coaches, teams, and individuals build stronger human relationships. Artificial intelligence often comes under scrutiny for making us lazy thinkers or giving ill-informed emotional advice, largely because many are prone to treating everyone the same and telling people what they want to hear.
Personos takes a different approach. It helps people make better decisions by appreciating each person’s unique personality traits and subsequently offering better ways to think and communicate with them. Built on the acclaimed Five-Factor Model of personality, Personos calculates 30 traits measured on an 80-point scale to deliver accurate, individualized insights that reflect how individuals think, communicate, and connect.
Here’s how it works: Personos asks people to participate in a five-minute assessment to understand their relative Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Not only do users get an intuitive dashboard that displays their own personality report, but it also integrates with others’ to assess personality that transforms insights into real-time, situation-aware coaching. Through prompting and interactive chats, users get guidance on how best to handle real-world situations they are dealing with.
Intended for professional use but also popular with individuals, Personos’ personality assessment unlocks real insight into each users’ unique characteristics. The platform is already being used by nonprofits, social workers, coaches, counselors, and corporate teams. The early results are quite compelling. Steve Huff, PhD, Founder of THRiVE Coaching, has integrated Personos into programs serving people navigating terminal illness, trauma, addiction, and housing instability. These are high-stakes situations where miscommunication can have serious consequences. “Personos isn’t just technology, it’s a teaching partner,” said Huff. “A constant criticism of AI is that it makes us dumber. To the contrary, Personos helps make our members smarter about how they communicate, how to mitigate challenges, and the opportunities available to them for more successful outcomes.”
Executive leadership coach Mike Walker, who founded Dynamic Decisions Coaching, uses Personos with business leaders who deal with team friction and interpersonal challenges. “Personos connects the dots between personality and performance,” Walker said. “When we exceed our cognitive capacity for complexity, we as individuals are more likely to make impulsive decisions. Personos helps clients organize often overwhelming amounts of mental and physical information to make better, creative, more informed decisions that incorporate their values and preferences, as well as those with whom they are interacting.”
Personos is betting that the next frontier isn’t about making AI smarter, but making humans smarter about each other. Picture this: you’re about to have a difficult conversation with someone on your team, and you’re unsure how to express feedback without making things worse. Personos helps you frame the conversation in a way that lands best based on that person’s individual personality traits. Managing someone who needs a clear structure but can get defensive when provided feedback? The platform provides guidance for communicating with them effectively. Working with someone who thrives on autonomy? You’ll learn how to give them space without making them feel unsupported.
The beauty of this approach is that it scales. Personos delivers the same level of cost-effective and sophisticated personality insights for a nonprofit social worker with limited resources, a middle manager trying to keep their team together, a coach working with clients, or a senior executive hoping to optimize employee performance.
Personos is built on the belief that technology should help us understand each other better. “Our vision is simple,” said Christian Thomas, CEO and Co-Founder of Personos. “AI shouldn’t just help people be more efficient but help people truly listen and understand each other better to foster connection and create impact.”
The platform is available now at www.personos.ai for those who want to improve how they communicate, lead, and engage with others.
