Now forming · a small, free alpha
Sempa is an AI coach and mentor that takes someone starting out and makes them genuinely excellent, fast. This fall we're running a small, free alpha with a handful of learners and the companies that host them. This page is the whole story: the problem, the program, who it's for, how it works, and what we'd ask of you.
The problem
The work that used to teach people, the first drafts, the grunt work, the reps, now goes to AI. Seniors lean on it instead of developing juniors. So the people starting out never get the reps that used to make them good, and the companies that hire them can't develop them and can't afford senior talent either. Sempa rebuilds that missing on-ramp.
The program
Sempa is a coach and a mentor fused into one AI companion, built to develop one person inside their real work. The name comes from the Tibetan sems-pa, “the one with heart,” the guide who leads others toward the light. It fuses two roles people usually only get separately.
The coach
Pushes you rep by rep. The nudge right after a meeting, the hard conversation rehearsed before it counts, the honest debrief after.
The mentor
Carries the judgment. The pattern across weeks, the wisdom of someone who's climbed this exact route before you.
Both live in one evolving profile of you, so the coaching gets sharper the longer you climb. Sempa never does the work, or the thinking, for you. It makes sure you do.
How it thinks
A coach who only knows what you remember to tell them is guessing. Sempa sees the real moments, the call, the thread, the draft, the standup, and builds one living model of how you work. Then it hands the right push back to you at the right moment.
Sempa. One living profile of you.
Who it's for
The alpha focuses on two kinds of people inside small and mid-sized businesses, the ones AI has changed the most.
Profile 01
Profile 02
And the companies that host them
How Sempa sees your work
During the alpha, we equip each learner with a small toolkit so Sempa coaches from what actually happened, not what they remembered to mention.
A small wearable that captures the real conversations and coaching moments that used to just vanish, the hallway comment, the hard call, the meeting nobody wrote down.
Records meetings and on-screen work visually, so Sempa sees how you actually operate, not just what you typed afterward.
Connects into Teams, Slack, and the tools you already use, so the coaching is grounded in real output, not a separate app to check.
You're in control of what's captured. None of it is used to monitor or score you for your employer. It exists for one reason: to make your coaching specific instead of generic.
How it works
Nothing generic. Sempa builds a real plan from a real starting point, then coaches inside the work you're already doing.
A real conversation, 15 to 20 minutes, not a form. Your goals, your role, your starting point.
Small phases, days not months, so progress shows early and the plan adjusts as it learns you.
Not lessons. The actual threads, meetings, and documents you're already producing.
Checks in, pushes back when something slips, and tells you plainly when you're not doing what you said.
How the alpha runs
We're running this round ourselves, with a handful of learners and hosts, so we can watch every step and adjust fast instead of guessing.
We talk for about 20 minutes to see if it's a fit for you or your team. No pitch, no forms.
Sempa gets to know the learner in a real 15 to 20 minute conversation, and we set up the toolkit: the pocket device, the browser extension, and Slack or Teams.
Sempa builds the plan, sets milestones at 10, 20, and 30 days, and starts coaching inside the real work from day one.
A quick weekly pulse with the learner, a short monthly readout for the host, and we're in the loop the whole way, adjusting as we go.
Early access, and a real say in what we build next, before there's any pricing to speak of.
| Learner | Host | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | A 15 to 20 minute conversation with Sempa, and about 30 minutes to set up the toolkit. | A 30 minute kickoff to pick one to three people and set the context. |
| Each week | About 30 minutes, plus acting on what Sempa flags inside work you're already doing. | Nothing required. |
| Each month | A short readout conversation. | A 30 minute check-in on how they're growing. |
| Duration | Starts in October and runs in 30-day phases through the end of the year. | Same. |
| Cost | Free. | Free. |
| What we ask | Honesty about what's working, and using the toolkit so the coaching stays real. | One internal champion, and openness to share outcome data, good or bad. |
Before you say yes
Tell whoever showed you this page, or leave your details at the bottom. That's the whole process. We'll set up a short conversation and take it from there.
Yes, for this round. In exchange, we ask for your honest feedback and a little of your time. That's the trade of an alpha: you help us get it right, early.
They're how Sempa sees real signal instead of guessing, but you're always in control of what's on. Nothing captured is used to monitor or score you for your employer. It exists only to make your own coaching specific.
Tell us. That's exactly what this stage is for. We're personally involved in every conversation right now, so we can adjust fast instead of guessing.
No. Sempa isn't an HR tool. We don't monitor people for their employer or score anyone as "at risk." The learner is developed for their own growth, full stop. That's what ends up helping the company too.

Interested?
If this sounds like you, or like someone on your team, tell the person who showed you this page. That's the whole process. We'll set up a short conversation and take it from there.
Nobody showed it to you? Leave your details and we'll follow up personally this week.
Early alpha. No spam, just an invite when your spot opens.
