Shark Tank investor Andrew Banks is backing a new Australian AI that promises to act less like a robot, and more like a human life coach.

Called ‘Hey Compono’, the app uses behavioural science to help you navigate tricky real-life situations.

Instead of just answering trivia, the tool allows users to voice-chat with it to role-play stressful scenarios—like practising how to ask a hard-nosed boss for a pay rise. It can even run you through a mock job interview.

Andrew Banks says the technology flips the script on fears about automation.

“At a time when people fear AI is stealing their jobs, Hey Compono turns AI into a tool that can help people land their dream job.”
