This table summarizes what we think are the most important things you need to know about MaxGood.work vs. Delphi.ai:
Feature |
MaxGood.work |

Comments |
| Expert Authors get paid | Yup! We license content from expert authors to support all the coaches, consultants, trainers, managers and leaders who have created Avatars on our system. Every Avatar can leverage the expertise from these authors (see the current list of licensed expert authors here). | No. | This is a core part of our ethos: at MaxGood.work we value the contributions of experts to the betterment of humanity. |
| Unlimited Avatars for you as a human Avatar Owner | Yes. We believe that humans are multi-faceted and organizations have numerous needs. Avatars fulfil those requirements; an Avatar Owner can create as many Avatars as they need to properly support their clients.
Of course, each Avatar entails a subscription fee. |
No. Avatars are one-to-one with humans and they are named after the human. If you have different audiences that need you to show up in a different way or to compartmentalize information/expertise, you cannot. | We believe that your business model is truly yours AND that different your different clients will need very different support. MaxGood.work is about creating trusted relationships, not, to be blunt, about feeding the ego of coaches and consultants. |
| Hyper-contextualization | Yes. If you as a coach, consultant, trainer, manager or leader know something about your client or your client’s context, you should be able to integrate that information/insight into your Avatar so that it alwasy responds to your client in the best way possible. Think assessments, CRM data, LMS data, organizational RACI data, individual performance evaluations and goals, or even just their favorite food or hobby. (See our Privacy Policy for details.) | No. The upload of data about your clients is severly limited. | Again, we believe in supporting the relationship at the deepest level possible with current technology. Every good coach/consultant/trainer/manager/leader knows that there is a massive amount of context for each and every individual that you interact with. |
| Replace human coaches, consultants, trainers, managers and leaders with infinite scaling | No. Human-in-the-loop is an essential part of our commitment to creating a platform that supports trustworthy relationships… not just replacing humans with AI chatbots. | Yes… if you actually want that! | Admittedly, originally this direction is where we thought we would go with MaxGood.work. But both coaches and their clients have said that this is not what they actually want! |
| Embed your Avatar everywhere. | No. We don’t believe that you can have a proper coaching conversation with a real human being if that person is anonymous. Your Avatars are embedded into the context of your relationships with your clients and for that to work well, you cannot just let annonymous users have random context-free conversations with your Avatar. At the very least, we recommend that every user of your Avatar be addressed by their name, and that your Avatar know at least what their current professional situation is (e.g. role, goals). | Yes. And, admittedly, this gives Delphi a much easier onboarding experience for end users. | Ease of onboarding does not equal trustworthy relationships. Any good coach, consultant, trainer, manager or leader makes sure to get to know the people they are interacting with before offering any advice or support. Build the relationship first, then help. |
| Messaging integrations | Email, Slack, Teams, and of course the web interface on MaxGood.work. Voice, Discord, WhatsApp and SMS coming soon. Custom mobile integrations coming too. | Email, Slack, WhatsApp, voice and their web interface. We don’t know what their integration plans are yet 🙂 | This isn’t really an area of differentiation; if you need a messaging platform integration, we can usually build it fairly quickly at no additional charge. |
| Content integrations | We admit that we’re a bit behind here. We have a WordPress integration available, Drupal coming very soon, but we are doing a re-write of our other content upload/integration systems in order to improve quality, and to support better intellectual property protection. | Yes, and some good ones! |
MaxGood.work vs. Delphi.ai – Your Choice
Our recommendation: if you are a coach, consultant, trainer, manager or leader who sees the magic in the unique relationship between you and each individual client, then MaxGood.work is for you.
On the other hand, if you are getting to the point of retirement, and want your legacy and expertise to be shared without needing to do much work yourself, then Delphi.ai is a decent option.
