Arti
My team just doubled in the reorg. Where do I start?
Here’s your plan, built around what your team has shared:
Coach your people with AI, by text or voice, with role play for hard conversations, enterprise security, and Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Human coaches for executives and selected managers, AI coaching for everyone else, and group sessions led by a coach.
Arti works with the whole team, not just the manager: 100+ sessions the team does together, team intelligence from what each person shares, and a growth plan that adapts to both, at a desk or on mobile in the field.
Deployed Rising Team across the globally distributed CTO organization.
Both coach with AI, and both rehearse hard conversations. The difference is the team. BetterUp coaches one person at a time, with a human coach for leaders and AI for everyone else, and brings groups together in sessions a coach facilitates. Arti works with the manager and their whole team, in sessions the manager leads without a facilitator, and turns what each person chooses to share into team intelligence. That’s what makes each manager’s growth plan specific, and the change last.
Opt-in by design. Team intelligence is only what people choose to share with their team. No tracking. No monitoring.

A manager’s team just doubled in a reorg. Here are the next two weeks with BetterUp’s AI coaching, and with Rising Team’s Arti.
With BetterUp The manager asks BetterUp’s AI coach how to open the first meeting with the combined team, and gets solid talking points.
With Rising Team Arti rebuilds the manager’s growth plan around the reorg, then drafts the first meeting with them, in your leadership language, around what each person has chosen to share.
With BetterUp Dana lost her lead role in the reorg. The manager rehearses the conversation in an AI role play, and gets feedback.
With Rising Team The manager rehearses it out loud, voice to voice. Arti plays Dana, pushes back the way she might, and scores the conversation on objective, clarity and empathy.
With BetterUp The manager delivers the news well, then has to work out alone how to turn two teams into one.
With Rising Team The whole team runs a working styles session together in its regular meeting, with no prep and no facilitator. Everyone shares a user manual for how they work best.
With BetterUp The AI coach knows what the manager has told it, and a pulse can flag how the team feels. What each person needs is still a guess.
With Rising Team Arti folds what the team shared into the growth plan and adapts the next steps: a 1:1 with Sam, feedback for Priya in private.

We plan a pilot with you on the teams where it matters most, and measure it against a control group.
Blood Cancer United rolled out in a few weeks, with an implementation specialist training its leaders.
Managers lead the sessions themselves. Bank of Hawai‘i reached more than 1,800 employees without growing its L&D team.
Rising Team is built to meet enterprise requirements with strong security, thoughtful privacy, and a track record enterprise teams can trust.
BetterUp gives executives and selected managers a human coach and everyone else AI coaching, and both coach one person at a time. Rising Team gives every manager Arti, an AI leadership personal trainer that coaches them, rehearses hard conversations with them out loud and scores them, and runs sessions the whole team does together, with no facilitator. What each person chooses to share in those sessions shapes each manager’s growth plan, so the change reaches the team.
Yes. Companies choose Rising Team when they want manager development to reach the team: coaching, voice role play and team sessions in one platform, with a growth plan that adapts to each team and results measured against a control group.
Pilot it alongside BetterUp on a few teams. Rising Team plans the pilot with you and measures it against a control group, so you see the difference in your own results: in the sessions each manager runs with their team, the team intelligence they create, and the scores that move.
No. Rising Team is built around Arti, an AI leadership personal trainer, so every manager gets coaching and practice every week, not only the people selected for a human coach. Its team sessions need no facilitator: each team’s own manager leads them, with step-by-step guidance, and Arti coaches the manager before them.
For coaching at scale, usually. Human coaching is priced per person, so companies tend to keep it for a few leaders, or a few months. Rising Team is built to reach every manager and their team across the enterprise, often for what human coaching costs for a few. We’ll price a pilot against what you spend today.
People you can reach. Every enterprise customer has a dedicated customer success manager, an implementation specialist for rollout, and a support team that answers, with quarterly business reviews along the way. We work as a partner, not a vendor.
BetterUp Manage includes Team Pulse check-ins, team coaching sessions facilitated by a coach, and Coaching Circles for peers. Rising Team’s 100+ team sessions are run by each team’s own manager, inside meetings the team already has, with no facilitator, and include a work styles assessment and a team health diagnostic. What people share in them helps Arti coach each manager.
No. Arti is a leadership coach, not a surveillance tool: there’s no tracking and no monitoring. Team intelligence is only what people choose to share with their team in a session, such as how they like to work or be appreciated. Private conversations with Arti stay private, and the organization sees only anonymized trends, aggregated across people.
Yes, because they run inside meetings the team already has. There are 100+ sessions, from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and the shortest add a single question to a weekly meeting. Every session comes with step-by-step guidance, so managers lead the conversation themselves, with no prep and no lift from HR, and Arti coaches them before it.
Yes. Arti and the team sessions work on mobile devices, so frontline and deskless managers and their teams use Rising Team in the field, on the shop floor or at a branch, not only at a desk. Bank of Hawai‘i, for one, uses it across its branch teams.
Against a control group. Rising Team measures retention, manager effectiveness, productivity and engagement for teams with and without it. Customers see a 30% rise in trust and connection scores and a 20% or greater lift in manager effectiveness within one quarter, and report 5–10x ROI in year one.
Yes. Rising Team is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant, complies with the EU AI Act, and has a 100% pass rate across enterprise security reviews. It supports single sign-on, and data is encrypted with TLS 1.2 in transit and AES-256 at rest.
Yes. Rising Team works in Microsoft 365 and Copilot, Microsoft Teams and Slack, connects to Google Calendar and Outlook, supports single sign-on, and integrates with HCM, HRIS and learning systems, to reduce manual work and line up with key moments like performance reviews.
Never. Customer data is never used to fine-tune, train or improve any AI models at Rising Team or by its third-party partners, and each AI service it works with contractually commits not to train on the data it sends them.
30 minutes on your managers’ real challenges. Leave with a pilot plan.
