First Steps in IX Coach

5 min read

Your First Session (It's Easier Than You Think)

IX Coach is built for real conversations, not perfect ones. Here's exactly what to do:

The 5-Minute Path

Pick your focus (30 seconds) Pick one thing on your mind right now Examples: "I'm overwhelmed," "Hard conversation coming up," "Not sure what I want" It doesn't need to be "deep" or life-changing

Start a session (1 minute) Click "Start New Session" on your dashboard Tell the coach your focus in one sentence Press send

Answer their questions (3 minutes) They'll ask you 2-3 follow-up questions Answer honestly, not perfectly Share actual details (not abstract philosophizing)

Get your takeaway (1 minute) The coach reflects back what they notice They suggest one small action you can take today or tomorrow Write it down

What You're Actually Doing

You're not fixing your life. You're proving to yourself that clarity happens in conversation. After 5 minutes with a good question, you'll think clearer. That's the win.

Gentle Tips

You don't need a problem. "I'm not sure if I should change jobs" is enough. Honesty beats polish. "I'm scared" works better than "I'm experiencing some concerns." One action is a success. Don't leave expecting everything to change. One clear next step is the whole point. It's okay to feel weird. Talking to an AI feels strange for 2 minutes. Then it feels normal.
