Can artificial intelligence really coach us to be better communicators, or does true connection still require human intervention? Karin Reed is joined by returning guest, communication coach and tech strategist Maggie Miller, for a conversation about how AI is reshaping the way we prepare, present, and connect. What begins with Karin testing Microsoft’s Speaker Coach unfolds into a deeper look at where technology helps and where it falls short. Can an algorithm truly capture your tone, your energy, your presence in the room? Karin shares what AI gets right, things like pacing, filler words, and vocal variety, and what it still can’t grasp: nuance, emotion, and context.
Maggie brings her own evolution with AI to the discussion. She no longer sees it as a shortcut but as a creative partner that helps her think, plan, and communicate with more clarity. She introduces the idea of “digital twins” - AI versions of the people you want feedback from that can challenge your ideas and help you refine your message before you ever step into the room.
Together, Karin and Maggie explore how to build a relationship with AI that enhances authenticity instead of erasing it. How do you keep your voice while using these tools to grow? Where does technology end and human skill begin? This episode invites you to rethink what collaboration with AI can look like and how it might make you a more thoughtful, intentional communicator.
