Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CoachPartner, how it works and its pricing.
⚙️ How it works
How does CoachPartner work?▾
CoachPartner analyses your coaching sessions using artificial intelligence. You submit either a text transcript of your session or an audio file. Our AI transcribes the audio (if needed) then evaluates your practice across the 8 ICF core competencies and generates a detailed report with concrete development suggestions.
Should I submit audio or a transcript?▾
Both options are available. If you already have a written transcript of your session, you can paste it directly into the provided field. If you have an audio file (MP3, M4A, WAV, etc.), CoachPartner transcribes it automatically before performing the analysis.
Which audio formats are accepted?▾
CoachPartner accepts the most common formats: MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG and WEBM. The maximum duration is 120 minutes and the file size must not exceed 30 MB.
How quickly do I get my report?▾
Generally a few minutes. Audio transcription adds a few seconds depending on the recording length. You receive a complete report with summary, radar chart, strengths and development areas for each of the 8 ICF competencies.
Which language should I use for my session?▾
CoachPartner supports both French and English. Simply select your session language before launching the analysis.
🎓 ICF Framework
What is the ICF framework?▾
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the world's leading authority on the coaching profession. Its framework defines 8 core competencies expected of a professional coach. CoachPartner evaluates your session against each of these competencies. Learn more about the ICF framework →
Does CoachPartner replace a human supervisor?▾
No. CoachPartner is a complementary development tool, not a substitute for human supervision. It gives you immediate, structured feedback on your practice — ideal for self-reflection between supervision sessions. The perspective of an experienced supervisor remains essential.
How reliable is the AI analysis?▾
The analysis is based on advanced language models trained on ICF framework criteria. It provides consistent, structured and actionable feedback. We recommend using it as a starting point for your reflection, not as a definitive verdict.
🔒 Data & privacy
Are my transcripts stored?▾
Audio files are never kept: they are deleted immediately after transcription. Transcripts and analysis reports, however, are stored encrypted in your workspace so you can review them, track your progress and compare sessions over time. You can delete a session and all its derived data at any time from your history.
Should I anonymise my client's data before submitting?▾
Yes, we strongly recommend it: remove or replace names and any information that could identify your client with pseudonyms (e.g. 'the coachee', 'Client A'). You remain responsible for your clients' data — the framework is described in the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement (DPA), and you commit to obtaining their consent before any upload.
Who processes my data?▾
CoachPartner relies on Deepgram for audio transcription and Anthropic (Claude) for the analysis, under data processing agreements; your data is never used to train any AI model. Hosting and storage run in the European Union region (Vercel, Supabase). The details — subprocessors, transfers, retention periods — are set out in the Privacy Policy.
💳 Pricing & payment
How much does an analysis cost?▾
The first analysis is free, with no credit card required. From the second analysis onwards, each one costs €5 including tax. There is no subscription: you pay only for what you use. See all pricing →
Which payment methods do you accept?▾
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment partner Stripe. Your card details never pass through our servers.
Are there pricing options for coaching schools?▾
Yes, we are preparing dedicated offers for schools and training organisations with volume pricing. Contact us at contact@coachpartner.app to discuss.
Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?▾
We do everything we can to ensure each analysis is of high quality. If you experience a technical issue or have a legitimate reason for dissatisfaction, contact us at contact@coachpartner.app and we will review your request on a case-by-case basis.
