FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Novux AI, your planner, Dona, your Coach, and FindX.
What exactly is AI Coaching and how does it differ from working with a human coach?
▼
AI Coaching is a digital form of personal development that mirrors the core principles of human coaching, helping you reflect on who you are, clarify your values and goals, and design a path toward the future you want. Like a human coach, the AI asks powerful questions, listens to your responses, and guides you through self-discovery.
The difference lies in how you access it and what it makes possible:
It’s available 24/7, so you can have a coaching session anytime you need support.
Sessions can be paused and resumed anytime.
It’s judgment-free, allowing you to be fully open without fear of being misunderstood.
It builds on your own input — the more you share, the more tailored and meaningful the guidance becomes.
In summary, AI coaching works much like traditional coaching sessions, but with the added benefit of being always accessible, private and consistent in its approach.
Do I need to know anything about AI or coaching before I use Novux AI?
▼
Not at all. You don’t need any background in AI or coaching to get started. Novux AI guides you step by step with clear prompts, simple language, and a flow that feels natural and intuitive.
What to expect:
A quick onboarding to set your goals and preferences.
Guided questions that help you reflect and gain clarity.
Progress tracking so you can see how you’re growing over time.
What you bring:
An open mind and a willingness to be honest with yourself.
30 minutes to an hour of your time to invest per session.
Your goals, challenges, or curiosities, even if they’re not fully formed yet.
No technical setup, no jargon, and no pressure. The more you share, the more tailored the guidance becomes. And if you’re ever unsure what to do next, Dona, your AI Personal Assistant, is always there to support you.
Can AI really understand me the way a human coach would?
▼
The short answer is Yes.
A longer answer would be that it does, although in a slightly different way. A human coach brings empathy and personal experience, while AI coaching is powered by advanced language models trained to recognize patterns, ask probing questions, and adapt to your unique situation based on what you share.
Here’s how Novux AI coach can understand and support you:
Active listening (digitally): The AI carefully processes your words and picks up on themes, values, and goals you express.
Low-biased reflections: Unlike humans, it comes with close to no assumptions or judgments, keeping the focus entirely on your perspective.
Consistency: Every interaction builds on your history, so the AI remembers your goals and tailors your journey as you go.
Depth through dialogue: The more honest and detailed you are, the more precise and supportive its guidance becomes.
While it may not “feel” emotions the way a human coach does, it is designed to mirror the coaching process, asking thought-provoking questions, helping you gain clarity and offering structure so you can move forward with confidence.
How personalised is the coaching? Is it just generic advice?
▼
Coaching is never about giving advice. Instead, it's about empowering you to find your own best solutions.
Here’s how Novux AI ensures a deeply personalised experience without giving generic advice:
It's about your insights: The AI's role is to ask powerful, tailored questions that help you tap into your own knowledge, experiences, and strengths. It guides you to discover your unique purpose, values, and goals, rather than telling you what they should be.
It adapts to your input: Every time you interact, the AI learns more about your specific situation, challenges, and aspirations. This allows it to refine its questions and prompts, making each session uniquely relevant to you. The more you share, the more precise and personalised the coaching becomes.
It helps you find your resources: If you feel you lack certain resources or knowledge, the AI will guide you through a process of identifying what you need and how you can acquire it, rather than simply handing you a solution.
So, your AI Coach won't give you a generic "to-do list", it provides a highly personalised journey of self-discovery and strategic planning, all driven by your own unique context and potential.
How do I know if AI coaching will actually help me reach my goals?
▼
That really depends on you. Coaching, whether with a human or an AI, isn’t a magic fix. Just like going to the gym, simply having the membership won’t get you fit. You’ve got to show up, put in the work and stay committed.
What AI coaching does is give you structure and support along the way. It helps you set clear goals, keeps you accountable, and encourages you to reflect on what’s working and what’s holding you back. That process alone can create real momentum.
Can anyone guarantee exact results? No, everyone’s journey is different. But here’s what we can promise: the more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it. If you engage with it and trust the process, you’ll almost always come away with more clarity, focus and confidence than when you started. And often, once people hit their first goal, they realise they now have the tools and mindset to tackle much bigger ones.
Can AI coaching replace a real human coach or is it just a supplement?
▼
AI coaching has proven it can replicate the coaching process with surprisingly strong results. In practice, it works much in the same way as a human coach would, asking you the right questions, guiding your reflection, and helping you shape a clear path forward.
Having said that, it’s not about replacing human coaching altogether, it’s about making personal development more accessible. Traditional coaching sessions can be expensive and out of reach for many people. With the help of AI, we can open the door so anyone, anywhere, can get the benefits of coaching without the barriers of cost or scheduling.
At Novux AI, we believe personal development is a basic human right and, as such, should be accessible and available to all.
What kind of personal development areas can Novux AI help me with (career, relationships, mindset, etc.)?
▼
There’s really no fixed limit. We see you as a whole person, not just “you at work” or “you at home”, because all the different parts of your life are connected. The challenges you face in one area often spill into another and the same is true for your strengths.
That means Novux AI can support you across a wide range of areas:
Career & performance: building confidence, setting career paths, improving focus.
Wellbeing & mindset: managing stress, creating balance, developing resilience.
Relationships & communication: improving how you connect with others, listening better, setting boundaries.
Personal growth: clarifying values, discovering passions, making life decisions.
Whether your goals are professional, personal, or a mix of both, AI coaching meets you where you are and helps you build the clarity and structure to move forward.
How do I measure my progress or results when working with an AI coach?
▼
Progress in coaching isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about seeing yourself grow in clarity, confidence and direction.
With Novux AI, you can track that progress in a few ways:
Session by session: After each session, you’ll get a clear summary of your conversation along with the action steps you agreed to take forward. This keeps you focused, accountable, and able to see what you’re building on over time.
Your Personal Profile: As you keep working with the AI, everything you share contributes to a living profile that grows with you. This profile helps you gain deeper insight into your purpose, values, mission, passions, personality traits, roles, and skills, essentially, your personal “map” of who you are and who you’re becoming.
Your Personal Development Plan (for 6-month subscribers): Once you’ve done enough sessions, you gain access to a structured plan with a big‑picture view of your focus areas, a list of actions and objectives you can track and update as you go and a “Key Learnings” section that captures your insights along the way.
Together, these give you both the small wins you can celebrate right away and the bigger arcs of growth that show you how far you’ve come.
What if the AI gives me the wrong advice or doesn't understand my situation?
▼
First, it’s important to clear up once again a common misconception: coaching isn’t about giving advice. A good coach, whether human or AI, shouldn’t tell you what to do. Instead, they help you explore your own situation more deeply, ask powerful questions and guide you to find your own answers.
So, with Novux AI you won’t get generic advice that may or may not fit. Instead, you’ll get questions and reflections designed to help you look at your situation from new angles, clarify your context (work, relationships, environment, mindset, etc.) and challenge you to think creatively about your next steps.
If something doesn’t feel right or the AI doesn’t “get” your point straight away, you can always clarify, just like you would with a human coach. The conversation will adapt to you.
At its core, the AI isn’t here to hand you solutions, it’s here to create the space for you to uncover them. That’s what makes the process both safe and deeply personal.
Can AI coaching adapt as I grow and change with me or is it limited to my first inputs?
▼
Coaching isn’t static, and your AI coach grows with you. Every time you come back to a session, the way you express yourself, your progress, and even your ups and downs all feed into how the AI responds. As you evolve, your coaching conversations evolve too.
Just like with a human coach, there’s an introductory session at the start. That’s where you share a bit of background and set the foundation. But from then on, the process is dynamic: the more you show up and engage, the more the platform learns about what matters to you and adapts accordingly.
In other words, it’s not locked to who you were at the beginning, it meets you where you are today, and helps you prepare for where you want to go tomorrow.
How secure is my personal information and who has access to it?
▼
Your privacy is at the heart of everything we do. From the very start, we built Novux AI with the principle of “secure by design.” That means security isn’t an afterthought, it’s baked into every part of the platform.
Here’s what that looks like for you:
GDPR compliant: We follow strict European data protection standards, which are among the toughest in the world.
Encrypted and anonymized: Your personal data is encrypted and stripped of identifiers during processing, so even in the unlikely event of a breach, your information can’t be used.
Nobody looking over your shoulder: Your conversations are private. No coach, company, or third party has access to what you share.
You stay in control: Your data is your data. You can always request a copy, review it or ask for it to be deleted, whenever you want.
At the end of the day, we know trust is the foundation of coaching. Without it, nothing works. That’s why protecting your privacy isn’t just a legal requirement for us, it’s a non‑negotiable promise.
Is my data stored forever or can I delete it whenever I want?
▼
You are always in control of your data. We only store your information for as long as you're actively using the Novux AI platform.
Here’s how it works:
Automatic deletion: If your subscription ends and isn't renewed, all your data will be automatically deleted from our systems three months after your last active date, in line with our data retention policy.
Your right to delete: You can request to have your data deleted at any time, regardless of your subscription status. This is one of your fundamental rights under GDPR.
How to request deletion: To do so, simply raise a support ticket within the platform or send an email to support@novux.ai with your request, and we'll process it promptly.
Your data belongs to you, and we ensure you have full control over its presence on our platform.
Will my conversations with the AI ever be shared with other companies or used for marketing?
▼
No. Your conversations are private and will never be shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing in any way that could identify you. Everything you share stays between you and your coach.
To improve the platform, we may study anonymized, aggregated patterns (never tied to your identity) to understand common themes people are working on and make the coaching experience better over time. When we reference anything publicly, it’s only at the level of broad trends, such as noticing that many users seek career clarity or stress management support. We never use individual conversations or personal details.
Your privacy comes first. Improvements and any marketing insights only come from safe, anonymized data, never from your private coaching conversations.
How exactly is my privacy protected especially if I share sensitive life or career challenges?
▼
Your privacy is protected on multiple levels. On your side, your account is secured with a username and password, and you also have the option to enable two‑factor authentication for extra protection.
On our side, all of your information is kept in a secure, highly protected environment. Sensitive data is separated from coaching session data so it can’t be directly connected, and everything is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. Even within our company, personal information is locked down, no one can view your conversations, and every action in the system is logged for accountability.
What that means in simple terms is that your sessions stay private, your personal data is walled off and encrypted, and you’re always in control of what happens with your information. Trust is the cornerstone of coaching and we treat your privacy as non‑negotiable.
What makes Novux AI different from just using ChatGPT or a regular chatbot?
▼
At first glance, it may seem similar since both use AI technology to have conversations. But Novux AI is thought, designed and built specifically for personal development.
We’ve designed and trained it around a proprietary coaching framework that combines the best of professional coaching practices with a human‑centric design. Instead of giving random answers, it guides you through structured self‑discovery, reflection, and goal‑setting, much like a skilled human coach would.
On top of that, Novux AI offers things that a chatbot doesn’t: a personal profile that grows with you, clear ways to measure your progress, and a coaching method that adapts to your changing circumstances. The whole system has been created with coaching standards in mind, so your experience stays aligned with the principles used by certified coaches around the world.
The goal has never been to “just chat”; it’s to give you a safe, focused space that feels like talking to someone who deeply cares about your journey, available whenever you need it.
Does AI coaching work for everyone or only for certain types of people or goals?
▼
Coaching is designed for anyone who wants to grow, whether that means solving a challenge, reaching a new goal, or simply understanding themselves better. Everyone has dreams, objectives, and struggles. That’s why coaching can be relevant for all kinds of people.
That said, AI coaching is especially powerful if you’re looking for:
Clarity: Figuring out what you really want in your career, relationships, or life.
Direction: Breaking down big goals into achievable steps.
Growth: Developing new skills, resilience, or confidence over time.
Balance: Managing stress, priorities, or competing roles in your life.
Your AI Coach isn’t here to give you advice or tell you what to do. Instead, it asks questions that help you think differently, see patterns in your own life, and create solutions that fit you.
Of course, just like with human coaching, it may not be the right tool if someone is looking for professional therapy, medical advice, or specialised mentoring in a specific field. But for most people wanting clarity, structure, and support in their personal or professional lives, AI coaching offers a flexible, judgment‑free way to make real progress.
How quickly can I expect to see results with AI coaching?
▼
That’s a very common question, and the honest answer is that it really depends on you and your commitment to the process. Coaching isn’t a quick fix, but it can create momentum surprisingly fast.
Many people start to feel a shift in clarity and focus after just 2 to 4 sessions. These early “results” often look like:
A clearer understanding of a challenge.
A defined action step you feel ready to take.
A new perspective on an old problem.
The key to seeing tangible progress is consistent engagement. The more you show up, reflect deeply, define clear action points, and then follow through on those actions, the faster you’ll start to see meaningful changes in your life.
Think of it like building a new habit: the more consistently you practice, the sooner you’ll see and feel the benefits.
Can I set specific goals and have the AI hold me accountable?
▼
You can absolutely set goals with Novux AI, and the coach will ask about your progress in later sessions but accountability will always rest with you. No coach, whether human or AI, can take responsibility for your actions.
What the AI does is create the structure, helping you define your goals clearly, break them into actionable steps, and reminding you of what you committed to. But at the end of the day, only you can choose to follow through.
That’s actually the point of coaching: to give you the space, clarity, and motivation to take ownership of your own growth. Your goals, your actions, your results. The AI is there to support you every step of the way, but the accountability is 100% yours, always.
Is AI coaching available 24/7 or do I have to schedule sessions like with a human coach?
▼
Yes, it’s available 24/7; you can start a session anytime that works for you, no scheduling needed.
That said, many people also like to book sessions in advance. If your calendar is hectic, setting a time can help you protect the space, prepare with intention, and create a gentle sense of urgency. Knowing there’s a session coming up often nudges you to follow through on your action points.
So you get the best of both worlds: on‑demand coaching whenever you need it, plus the option to schedule sessions if having a set date helps you stay focused.
Does the AI remember my past conversations and progress, or does it start fresh every time?
▼
Yes, your AI coach remembers. Each session adds to a living picture of your goals, context, and progress, so it doesn’t feel like you’re starting from scratch. When you come back, the coach can pick up where you left off, follow up on previous commitments and help you refine what’s working and what isn’t.
Over time, it starts to notice patterns (what motivates you, where you tend to get stuck and which approaches help you move forward) and it adapts the conversation to meet you where you are now.
All of this feeds into your Personal Profile (and your Personal Development Plan if you are on the 6‑month subscription), so you can see your journey evolve in a way that’s tangible, consistent and entirely private.
What if I want to switch from AI coaching to human coaching later, can Novux AI support that?
▼
Of course. Coaching is about your development, not about tying you to a single method. If you ever decide to work with a human coach, you can request your session data and take it with you. That way, your new coach can pick up on the insights, patterns, and progress you’ve already made, rather than starting completely from scratch.
We see AI coaching and human coaching as complementary. Some people use Novux AI as a first step into personal development, gaining clarity and momentum before deciding to work with a human coach. Others use it alongside human coaching for extra support between sessions. Whatever path you choose, the important thing is that it works for you and we’ll make the transition as smooth as possible.
How much does Novux AI cost compared to traditional coaching?
▼
Novux AI is designed to make high‑quality coaching accessible to anyone at a fraction of the price of traditional coaching.
Our plans currently range from a one‑week coaching trial for £4.99, to a two‑month subscription at £29.99 per month, or a six‑month subscription at £19.99 per month. With any subscription, you can have up to five sessions per month.
To put this in context: the cost of a single one‑to‑one coaching session with a human coach in the UK typically ranges between £50 and £250 per hour, depending on the coach’s experience and focus area (Bark, Chris Kenber). For business or executive coaching, prices can be significantly higher, starting around £100–£500 per session, with top executive coaches charging £200–£500 per hour in London, and in some cases up to £2,000 per hour at the very top end (Robin Waite, Mary Taylor & Associates).
So while traditional coaching can be an amazing investment, it’s often out of reach for many people. Novux AI exists to change that. For less than the cost of a single traditional session, you can access multiple sessions per month, track your progress, and build your personal development journey in a way that’s flexible, private, and always available.
What if I start using Novux AI and realise it’s not for me, can I stop anytime?
▼
Absolutely. We want you to feel confident and comfortable with Novux AI, and that means you’re always in control.
If you decide that AI coaching isn't the right fit for you, you can cancel the renewal of your subscription at any time. You'll still have full access to the platform and your coaching sessions until the very end of your current billing period.
There are no long-term contracts or hidden fees. Our goal is to support your personal development journey, and if that path leads you elsewhere, we want to make it easy for you to transition without any issue.
How is Novux AI’s coaching grounded, does it use psychology, neuroscience, or proven coaching frameworks?
▼
Yes. Novux AI’s coaching is built on the very same principles and standards that underpin traditional professional coaching. We’ve designed it in line with the guidelines of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and under the supervision of certified coaches with more than 20 years of experience.
That means the questions, processes, and methods aren’t random AI responses; they’re drawn from established coaching practices that encourage reflection, creative thinking, and self‑discovery.
We also take into account insights from psychology and neuroscience, particularly around how people set goals, build habits, and create lasting change. But the heart of the system is pure coaching: helping you clarify your values, purpose, and direction, and supporting you to take meaningful steps forward.
So while the technology behind Novux is cutting‑edge, the foundation it’s built on is timeless and human: proven frameworks, professional standards and decades of coaching experience.
How is Novux AI different from a productivity app?
▼
Productivity apps help you list tasks. Novux AI helps you decide what deserves your attention, keep commitments visible in your planner, get daily support from Dona, and go deeper with your Coach when you’re stuck. It’s a system for clarity and follow‑through — not just another to‑do list.
Do I need a coach if I already use a planner?
▼
Your planner helps you organise the day. Your Coach helps you work through what’s in the way — identity, trade‑offs, confidence, and next decisions. Many people use both: the planner for structure, and conversations with your Coach for momentum and honest reflection.
What's the difference between Dona and the Coach?
▼
Dona supports your day — planning, prioritising, and nudges so you stay on track. Your Coach is for structured coaching sessions that go deeper on direction, mindset, and change. They’re separate experiences by design, and they work best together.
Can I use FindX and Novux AI together?
▼
Yes. Many people use FindX when they’re actively searching for their next role (matching, applications, interview prep) and use the Novux AI platform for daily clarity, your planner, Dona, and coaching once they want structured support for performance and direction.
What happens after my 14-day free trial?
▼
You keep access through the trial period on the plan you chose. If you continue, your paid subscription starts automatically according to the plan and billing cycle you selected. If you cancel during the trial within the terms shown at checkout, you won’t be charged. You can always review current pricing on the homepage and in the app.
Is Novux AI right for me if I'm a student?
▼
If you’re figuring out what’s next after university, building direction, or preparing to enter the job market, many students start with our Students page and use the planner, Dona, and your Coach for clarity — and FindX when you’re ready to search and apply with more confidence.
How does FindX match me to jobs?
▼
FindX focuses on fit: your profile and CV are used to surface roles that align with your skills and goals, help you tailor applications, and prepare for interviews. It’s built for a broken job search — fewer spray‑and‑pray applications, more targeted momentum.
What is Novux AI?
▼
Novux AI is a daily system for ambitious professionals: your planner for structured commitments, Dona for day‑to‑day support, and your Coach for coaching sessions — plus optional FindX when you’re looking for your next role. One journey: from searching to thriving.
Who is Novux AI for?
▼
People who are tired of being busy without visible progress — early‑career professionals, new leaders, career changers, job seekers, and students who want structure, honest reflection, and a practical path forward.
What is FindX?
▼
FindX is Novux AI’s job‑matching and interview‑prep product. It works alongside you to improve fit, tailor applications, and prepare for interviews — especially when the traditional job search feels noisy and unrewarding.
How does FindX work?
▼
You share your CV and goals, FindX surfaces roles that fit, helps you generate tailored applications, and supports interview preparation. It’s designed to reduce wasted applications and increase signal — not to spam more job boards.
What is the difference between Novux AI and FindX?
▼
Novux AI (the platform) is your daily operating system: planner, Dona, and your Coach. FindX is focused on the job search: matching, applications, and interview prep. You can use either or both, depending on whether your priority is “thrive in the role” or “land the next one.”
Is Novux AI available in Spanish?
▼
Yes — the product supports Spanish in addition to English in key experiences. If you’re unsure whether a specific flow is available in your language, ask inside the app or contact support@novux.ai.
Does Novux AI offer a free trial?
▼
Yes. New subscribers typically start with a 14‑day free trial on eligible plans. Exact terms are shown at checkout and in your plan details inside the app.
