Coaches using AI: What’s the hardest and most annoying part for you?
Posted by on September 17, 2025 at 9:51 pmHey all,
I’m curious to hear from other coaches (or consultants, freelancers, fractionals, ..) who are experimenting with AI in their businesses.
I’ve been playing around with it for content, lead gen, client management, and even course design… While it saves time, I keep running into moments where it feels clunky or just… off.
Like:
- Content that sounds robotic unless I rewrite half of it.
- Endless copy pasting and reprompting between 4-5 tools (AI or non-AI tools)
- Lead gen tools that spit out a list of random people who aren’t even close to my ICP (ideal client profile)
- Client management automations that feel more like babysitting 10 different apps than actually saving me time
- Curriculum ideas that look polished but lack my own voice, depth, frameworks or IP (intellectual property)
I’d love to know… do you feel the same? OR what’s been the hardest, most frustrating part of trying to integrate AI into your coaching business?
Do you feel like it’s actually helping, or just creating another layer of work?
I’m asking because I’m in the same boat. Testing things, trying to figure out what’s worth keeping and what’s just hype. Curious to hear others real experiences!

It’s another layer of work, and it’s overall a bunch of tech valuation being propped up by people who follow trends. It’s dying, and will continue to die in the social media space. People are specifically seeking out non-AI tools and creators for service exchanges now. I would avoid using ai if you are looking to be an authentic business/coach

Nothing annoying about it. If you’re having issues you need to learn how to use the tools better. Better input = better output when it comes to prompting. All of the LLMs have prompt guides to help you get a handle on it. You don’t have to use them because it’s already so easy as long as you’re detailed. But if you go through then you’ll get helpful insights that will improve your output.
