Advancing communication skills in the age of AI

As AI reshapes the way we work, human skills—such as clear, confident communication—matter more than ever. Yet high-quality communication coaching remains out of reach for many.

JA Worldwide partnered with McKinsey through the firm’s AI for Social Good program, applying QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey’s advanced data and AI expertise to mission-driven, pro bono work.

The collaboration resulted in JA Pitch Master, a gen-AI-powered communication coach that helps young people refine pitch presentations through tailored, actionable feedback. JA Pitch Master is the first JA Boost agent, part of JA Worldwide’s broader initiative to harness AI in support of its mission to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.

Learn more about how JA Pitch Master creates an inclusive experience designed to feel as intuitive and supportive as a human coach, while reaching learners around the world.
