We Like Humans.
Uniting human expertise and advanced AI to unlock the communication potential of people and organizations.
Understanding communication skills development without Ovida?
Non-verbal communication holds significant role in the complex mosaic of human interaction. It can be quite hard to comprehend every aspect of it and analyse it all. The result? We miss a lot. The worst part - we think we don’t.
Ovida is using AI to enhance and expand human expertise, not replace it.
It is impossible to handle and understand all communication cues
Ovida’s AI does exactly that, capturing all intricacies of a discussion and presenting the key moments to focus on.
One-size-fits-all approaches fail everyone
Human communication is complex and subtle. Every one of us has a unique style, with varying strengths and weaknesses.
Effective development demands a personalised approach - an impossible task with legacy training models.
Ovida enables personalised mastery of communication skills at massive scale
Biases, often unconscious, can distort our perception of what actually happened. Ovida helps people identify them with insights allowing objective self-reflection and practice.
Can’t avoid internal biases
We hardly remember what we ate for lunch, let alone 1 hour of a deep discussion with a client or an employee. Ovida captures everything, objectively, and without judgement.
Human memory is fallible
Lack of self-reflection equals no improvement
When was the last time a leader self-reflected on how they come across in their 1-1s? With video and data to help that self-reflection? Every professional athlete reviews their games on video, and self-reflect based on insights. Ovida replicates this for all important communication discussions, where high level of trust is paramount, and allows practice to measurably improve, play after play.
Ovida is disrupting traditional soft skills development by seamlessly integrating AI within existing workflows and providing personalized guidance for measurable soft skills growth.
Current Soft Skills training:
A lot of theory
Training outside working hours
Evaluation only self-reported, after the course
Little on-the-job transferability
Relying on fallible human memory
Inevitable human biases
Multiple day, time-consuming courses
Ovida-based growth:
Focus on deliberate practice.
Training on-the-job
Objective metrics-based evaluation of progress.
Demonstrating on-the-job skills growth.
Capture every detail.
Al designed to limit biases.
Less than 30 minutes per week.

8x the speed
10-15 minutes reviews to get measurable results, rather than full day courses that rarely translate into actual improvement in real life. Improve key skills like listening, building trust, asking the right questions at the right time within a few sessions on Ovida.
-
1/10 the cost
Grow your skills for a very low monthly subscription, a fraction of the cost of getting a 1-1 full time mentor, coach or trainer. And when you need them, mentors and trainers will provide their feedback directly on Ovida, based on your actual discussions, not what you remember happened.
-
Hand-in-hand
Ovida is working alongside you and human experts or mentors, to help you improve. It’s exactly like a professional sports coaching team, reviewing the video, providing insights, designing what exactly to work on next and delivering a plan for peak performance.
Hold the power to your data, the whole time.
Privacy above all else.
Built on a foundation of trust.
You retain full authority over your data's visibility and permissions. Your personal data remains strictly confidential and inaccessible to anyone, including your sponsoring organization or workplace. Our mission is to be a leader in trust, security, and privacy in a world full of data breaches and privacy violations. Our only reason for using data and AI is to promote growth and help people connect better.

Ovida has levelled-up the performance of individuals worldwide
“Ovida has helped me grow my confidence as a coach. I can spend more time reflecting on the whole conversation or I can choose and prioritize the data I would like to self-reflect on. Knowing that I can revisit the information shared, I can put aside note-taking and grow my presence. My client has also revisited our conversation to reflect on what we discussed and used it to develop even more.’’
Yi Fen, well-being and leadership coach

At Ovida, we do not process, trade, market, share or sell your data to anyone. Also, any time a coach, mentor or leader records a meeting on any commercial video call platform, the other participants immediately lose control of that recording, because they do not need to have an account with the provider to join the call. Ovida requires every participant in every call to be signed up and logged in to Ovida. This allows us to authenticate who is in a session, and therefore to give them visibility and control over their data. As a client on Ovida, you can:
see who has access to your session,
revoke that access if you wish, and
request that your data be deleted, without the consent of the coach,
exercise your "right to be forgotten".

Stelios is the name we've given to our machine learning application. We're training it to understand all the verbal and non-verbal signals we send one another when we talk. It identifies key moments from a conversation in much the same way a skilled trainer would. But it has some advantages - it never misses a moment, and it works on hundreds of sessions at a time, so it’s always on, and always learning. You can read more on our Science page.

Clients do not need to have a paid subscription. They are automatically assigned a free Guest account when they are invited to join a session with a coach.
