5 AI tools that Change Professionals can use today – highlighted by Declan Foster.
They are designed to inspire and encourage you to experiment with these and other AI tools.
Issoria: Automating Impact Assessments (Without Replacing You)
The Issoria AI Change Impact Assessment Generator is a web-based tool that speeds up the evaluation process by using AI—specifically, OpenAI’s GPT-4 with Microsoft AI services.
It collects key organisational inputs and produces structured reports that outline:
- Current and future states
- Change magnitudes
- Expected timelines
The goal isn’t to replace you—it’s to support you. By automating time-consuming tasks like compiling assessments, you can focus more on stakeholder engagement, communication, and leadership.
Pandatron: Scalable Coaching Through AI Agents
Pandatron is all about guided reflection and goal setting through AI-driven change agents. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, Slack, or via web app, helping employees access coaching in their flow of work.
The standout feature? It anonymises and aggregates coaching conversations to provide live feedback on systemic challenges. That means your strategy can stay responsive.
Core components:
- “Power Sessions” and “Power-Ups”—15-30 minute weekly coaching moments
- Frameworks including systemic coaching and agile Change Management
- GDPR-compliant and privacy-focused
One use case on their site details how Pandatron helped a well-known SaaS company improve trust between sales and presales teams.
Kaiya from Prosci: AI That Knows Change
Kaiya is a change assistant built specifically on Prosci’s methodologies. It’s not a generic AI—it’s trained on years of research and designed to guide users through complex change initiatives.
It offers:
- Context-aware guidance grounded in the ADKAR® model
- Access to exclusive Prosci content and research
It’s currently available to Team and Enterprise Business subscribers, with individual access expected in 2025.
Custom GPTs: Your Own Domain Expert
GPTs provide specialised AI capabilities by allowing users to tailor ChatGPT for specific tasks, industries, or knowledge areas without coding expertise. While general-purpose language models excel at broad applications, custom GPTs enable users to refine AI outputs with domain-specific instructions, unique datasets, and task-focused capabilities
You can:
- Upload up to 20 documents for reference
- Add task-specific instructions
- Build it all without writing a line of code
Custom GPTs are valuable for a wide range of professional and personal use cases, including:
- Education & Training – Personalised AI tutors with specialised curricula.
- Business & Customer Support – Tailored assistants that align with company policies and knowledge bases.
- Research & Analysis – AI models that interpret specialised scientific, legal, or financial data.
You need a ChatGPT Plus account to build them ($20 USD/month), but you can explore public GPTs for free. Just type “change management” into the Explore GPTs search bar to see what’s already available.
NotebookLM: Synthesising Complex Information
NotebookLM, powered by Gemini 1.5, is an AI research and note-taking tool. Upload PDFs, articles, videos, or audio, and the platform:
- Identifies links across your content
- Generates citations
- Produces structured insights
One practical application: if you’re starting a new contract in a new industry, you could upload relevant materials and receive a briefing document, FAQs, timeline, and even a podcast-style overview.
Features worth noting:
- Handles up to 50 sources and 25 million words
- Interactive podcast mode in beta, where listeners can ask questions
- Privacy-first: none of your data is used for training
While these solutions streamline workflows and enhance decision-making, their true power lies in enabling professionals to focus on what matters most — people. AI should be seen as a collaborator, not a replacement, helping change leaders and change professionals drive meaningful transformation with greater agility and insight.
Now is the time to embrace AI in your Change Management practice. Start by experimenting with one or two of these tools to see how they fit within your workflow. Engage with AI as a strategic partner, not just a technology trend. By doing so, you will not only improve your efficiency but also position yourself at the forefront of an AI-powered future in change leadership.
