From Weekend Hackathon to OpenAI

[nihalsari]

Convogo began as a simple experiment inspired by a real-world problem. One of the founders was asked whether AI could automate the time-consuming reporting work involved in executive coaching, freeing professionals to focus on the human side of leadership development.

Over two years, the startup grew to support thousands of coaches and partnered with major leadership development firms. Along the way, the founders say they discovered a deeper challenge: bridging the gap between rapidly improving AI models and tools that deliver meaningful outcomes for professionals. Joining OpenAI, they believe, is the best way to scale that mission across industries.
