AN APP TO SCALE COACHING AND EMPOWER STUDENTS WITH AI
EPOG had built a strong foundation with their well-established coaching methodology and early digital solution; we were there to take it to the next level.

WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?
Education should be a leveller, not a privilege. But for students without adequate access to guidance, the opportunity gap is massive. Coaching changes lives, yet it’s often expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to scale effectively.
The Enjoyable Pain of Growth Academy (EPOG) a non-profit with the mission to make personal development part of education, set out to change that. Drawing from deep coaching expertise, psychology research, and direct student feedback, Tim Harrison (EPOG’s founder and CEO) envisioned a platform that could make high-quality coaching accessible to every student, no matter their background. But scaling coaching without losing its personal touch? That’s a challenge.
EPOG had already proven that digital coaching could work through an early no-code AI platform. What they needed was a solution that could evolve with students, maintain engagement, and deliver real results. That’s where the 3 Sided Cube Crew came in, to build a platform that leveraged EPOG’s expertise in coaching psychology and applied our digital innovation to bring their vision to life in a meaningful, scalable way.

WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION?
EPOG had already built a strong foundation with their well-established coaching methodology and early digital solution; we were there to take it to the next level. With the PowerPath Platform, we translated their proven approach into a scalable, tech-driven experience, ensuring it stayed true to their coaching philosophy while maximising engagement and impact.
PowerPath isn’t just an AI tool; it’s a structured, evidence-based coaching app built to provide meaningful guidance to students who need it most. It goes beyond chatbots, creating an experience that feels personal, intuitive, and impactful, staying true to EPOG’s vision for accessible coaching.
Key UX/UI Considerations
To make a real impact, the platform needed to be something students wanted to use. Together, we prioritised:
Seamless onboarding to remove barriers and make getting started effortless.
A personalised, chat-based interface that adapts to student unique profile, making AI-driven coaching engaging rather than transactional.
Structured goal setting to help students stay focused, incorporating a wide range of goal types
A dynamic dashboard UI offering clear visual progress tracking to maintain motivation.
Smart notifications aligned with coaching strategies to support engagement without overwhelming students.
Did you know that the current deficit of coaches for underserved students is 400:1? The PowerPath Platform is helping to bridge this gap, making coaching more accessible than ever.
WHAT DOES THE PLATFORM DO?

By blending cutting-edge AI with thoughtful UX, PowerPath supports students in setting goals, building critical thinking skills, and staying on track, bridging the coaching gap for those without access to traditional guidance.
At the very heart of PowerPath is an AI system designed to coach, not just respond. It enhances the experience through:

)
INTUITIVE INTERFACE
A well-structured, engaging layout ensures students can navigate the platform easily, focusing on their development rather than on how to use the tool.
WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?
PowerPath is currently being tested with a high school district in Houston, Texas, USA, gathering real-world insights to inform its future evolution. The early feedback has been promising, students report that the structured coaching conversations and personalised prompts help them stay engaged, motivated, and on track. The collaboration continues to refine and enhance the platform, ensuring it delivers meaningful impact at scale.
This is just the beginning for PowerPath. As the platform evolves, deeper personalisation and smarter support will continue to shape the future of digital coaching. Watch this space!
