Pearson launches AI-powered communication coach that integrates with Microsoft 365
Pearson has launched Communication Coach, an AI-powered learning tool that integrates with Microsoft 365.
Developed as part of Pearson’s co-innovation efforts with Pearson, Communication Coach aims to improve the communication skills of native and non-native English speakers. The tool can be used by professionals looking to improve their communication at any level.
“We all know that good communication skills are one of the core criteria for doing well at work. Communication Coach is Pearson’s way of helping people build that critical skill. By integrating helpful hints, nudges, and tips into trusted products that millions of people use every day, we can dramatically scale our ability to help people progress and succeed,” says Vishaal Gupta, President Enterprise Learning Solutions at Pearson.
“Together with Microsoft, we’re helping people build their communication ability by delivering low stress learning directly in the flow of work where they can effectively get their points across and progress with confidence.”
“At Microsoft, we believe AI should empower people—not just processes,” adds Ranveer Chandra, VP Copilot Tuning at Microsoft. “Together with Pearson, we’re bringing AI skilling, tuned to the organization’s data, directly in the flow of work, helping individuals accelerate how they learn, communicate, and grow in their careers. By embedding intelligent, personalized tools into products like Teams and Copilot, we’re delivering human-centered solutions that drive meaningful progress—for every employee, in every role.”
Writing on LinkedIn, Pearson’s CEO Omar Abbosh adds: “Congratulations to our Pearson team and our friends at Microsoft for making this happen. This is just the beginning of how we are accelerating great learning at work.”
Communication Coach offers real-time tips and feedback to users, underpinned by Pearson’s skills intelligence engine. The tool will be previewed at Microsoft Ignite 2025, with pilots and general availability expected to launch in 2026.
