Grow your juniors, not just their output.
TAOS is an AI coaching layer inside the ChatGPT and Claude your team already uses. Fast where each person is good. Coached where they are growing. Think study mode, built for your team's actual work.

Founding teams: £120 a seat for your first year on the annual plan, with an onboarding call with us. 10 of 10 places left.
Your team ships more than ever. Are they still learning?
AI now writes the first draft of the work that used to teach people their job. Leaders can see the cost, and almost nobody has a plan for it.
Leaders already see de-skilling
Half of 70 senior leaders surveyed said they already see it in their organisations, and 53% named the slower development of junior talent.

Companies have a plan
Only one in ten has an organisation-wide strategy for it. The fix BCG recommends: build reflective prompts into AI tools so they ask the user to think first.

How they use AI decides what they keep
In a randomised trial of mostly junior engineers, the AI group understood less of what they built. The ones who used AI to ask questions kept their learning.

From a five-minute chat to a sharper you
Tell it about your work, get a profile, then coaching that builds the skill instead of doing it for you.
Your skill and your output quality climb together.
Set up in one call. Then it runs inside the work.
Everyone maps their skills
A five minute check gives each person a profile: where they are strong, where they are growing, and what they want to keep sharp. It is theirs, and private to them.
Connect it on the onboarding call
TAOS plugs into ChatGPT or Claude as a connector. We set the team up together in thirty minutes, and everyone leaves with prompts written for their own skills.
Work as normal
On work someone knows, TAOS gets out of the way. On work they are growing into, it asks for their answer first and coaches from there. You see the team's picture, never anyone's profile.
What managers ask first
Can I see what my team asks the AI, or their profiles?
No. The team dashboard is aggregate only: how the team is growing, where skills are at risk, never an individual's conversations or profile. People coach more honestly when nobody is watching.
Will it work with the AI we already use?
TAOS connects to ChatGPT and Claude, and to Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini for technical teams. In ChatGPT, custom connectors currently need Developer mode switched on, which a workspace admin may have to allow. We check your setup on the onboarding call before anyone spends time on it.
Will it get in the way when people are on a deadline?
It coaches the work people are growing into, not everything. When someone is shipping, they can tell it to just do the task this time, and it will.
What does it cost?
£200 a seat a year, or £20 a seat a month. Founding teams pay £120 a seat for the first year on the annual plan. Every team starts with a 7-day free trial; we email you two to three days before the first charge, and cancelling is one click.
Who builds TAOS?
Professionals with academic backgrounds at LSE and the University of Oxford, who ran a pilot of TAOS with knowledge workers in 2026. See who is behind it.
What happens on the onboarding call?
Thirty minutes with us. We check your AI setup, connect everyone's ChatGPT or Claude, and each person leaves with prompts written for their own skills, so the first week starts with real work.
Install in your tool
Same hosted endpoint, sign in with Google or any email, one portable profile. Pick the client you already use.
Install the plugin. You get the coaching layer from turn one, the TAOS skills, and your profile. Two commands inside Claude Code.
/plugin marketplace add angelo-leone/taos-connector
/plugin install taos@taos
Sign in when Claude asks (Google, or a code sent to any email), then say Run my TAOS assessment.
Want the tools on their own, without the coaching layer? claude mcp add taos --transport http https://taoshq.com/mcp connects just the server.
Add the TAOS plugin to Cowork from its public marketplace, then start coaching. No org admin needed.
- In Claude, open Customize, choose Add marketplace, then Add from a repository, and paste this owner/repo:
angelo-leone/taos-connector
- Click Sync to load the marketplace.
- Install the TAOS plugin from it. Sign in when your client asks (Google, or a code sent to any email), so the connector can reach your profile.
- Say
Run my TAOS assessment, then bring a real task and let it coach you.
Your profile and the coaching method stay on the TAOS server; the plugin only connects you to them. Rolling out to a team? A Team or Enterprise owner can deploy it for everyone: talk to us.
