AI can now not only assist you with tasks but transform your boring personality. Well, at least on paper.<\/p>\n

Australian built AI<\/a> product Hey Compono<\/a>, is a tool designed to analyse and get to know you\u00a0 better than you do.<\/p>\n

The tool is backed by Shark Tank<\/a> famed entrepreneur Andrew Banks, who has been a part of the journey since the early developing days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The non-traditional AI tool is built on three decades of behavioural science and operates on a database of 50,000 validated personality profiles.<\/p>\n

The technology promises personalised coaching based on psychology rather than generalised AI guesswork.<\/p>\n

Banks says he chose to invest because it fills a gap he believes the market has been missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when people fear AI is stealing their jobs, Hey Compono turns AI into a tool that can help people land their dream job, bosses make better decisions and even provide individualised advice on managing life\u2019s challenges and difficult conversations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Powered by human behaviour, not internet scraping<\/p>\n

Compono CEO and corporate psychologist Rudy Crous says Hey Compono stands out because it is grounded in academic research rather than scraped online content.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you clarity of self-awareness through your personality combined with AI coaching,\u201d he told Mediaweek.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is built on decades of business and psychology research and over 50,000 personality profiles that allow it to deliver tailored advice when people need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tool analyses patterns in speech, behaviour and preferences to return personalised guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more a user interacts with it, the better it learns their personality. Over time it becomes more reliable and valid than traditional personality assessments with two hundred plus questions,\u201d Crous said.<\/p>\n

Users can also role-play conversations from job interviews to workplace conflicts with the AI adapting to different personality types in real time.<\/p>\n

A judge-free environment<\/p>\n

Crous says people often feel more open with AI tools than with human coaches or mentors.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are more likely to be open and honest with AI because it provides feedback without judgment, anywhere and anytime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoaching and mentoring are episodic and reactive. Hey Compono delivers daily nudges and micro interventions that build habits over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early usage patterns support this, with users favouring private, personalised AI over traditional support systems.<\/p>\n

A career advantage, not a threat<\/p>\n

Banks believes the benefits go well beyond curiosity and into real workplace value.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started my recruitment business thirty years ago, I wish I had something like this to help candidates understand themselves and make smarter career choices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He argues that better self understanding will directly improve performance, retention and workplace culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people go through their careers without truly understanding their strengths or how they come across at work. Hey Compono changes that,\u201d Banks said.<\/p>\n

Hey Compono is now live as part of Compono\u2019s broader HR tech suite and is available through both voice and text interfaces.<\/p>\n

Banks says the product demonstrates that AI can be an empowering force rather than something to fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI does not have to be a threat to jobs. It can help people find purpose, fulfilment and success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The tool is freemium (free to use) but if you want more sessions there is a list of paid tiers to choose from.<\/p>\n
