Agile Coach Pro

Overview

Agile Coach Pro is a ChatGPT Custom GPT that gives learners and practitioners on-demand answers to Agile questions — Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, and Extreme Programming — grounded in a curated set of verified, always-current sources. It delivers the kind of guidance a coach would give, at the depth the question requires, available 24/7.

It ships as part of Agile Uni, a lightweight training-and-tools site for Agile methodologies, and is reachable directly from its Agile Uni tool page.

The Problem

Agile methodologies are a crowded field. Learners and practitioners have to sift through conflicting blog posts, outdated tutorials, and contradictory opinions just to answer basic questions — and the useful reference material that does exist is spread across framework sites, certification bodies, and practitioner literature that rarely agree on terminology. There is no single place where a beginner can ask "what does a Scrum Master actually do in a daily Scrum?" and get a grounded, reliable answer at their own level.

The Solution

Agile Coach Pro tackles this by giving the practitioner one place to ask:

• A direct question-and-answer surface — built as a ChatGPT Custom GPT, so the interaction is free-form, multilingual, and conversational, with follow-ups and clarifications natively supported.
• Verified, always-current sources — the GPT is grounded in a curated body of Agile learning material so answers track framework practice rather than free-floating opinion, and the source set stays up to date over time so the tool doesn't drift out of date.
• Multi-framework coverage in one assistant — one GPT handles Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, and XP, which means learners don't have to pick a framework silo before asking a question.
• Zero setup — anyone with a ChatGPT account can open the GPT and start asking; no install, no configuration, no account creation on a third-party platform.

Who It's For

• Learners studying for Scrum / SAFe / other Agile certifications who want a tutor available at their own pace.
• Practitioners — Scrum Masters, Product Owners, developers, coaches — reaching for a quick refresher on a specific framework rule or ceremony.
• Teams introducing a new Agile practice and looking for plain-language explanations to align on terminology.

Why This Project Stays on My Portfolio

Agile Coach Pro was my first RAG — the first time I shipped a retrieval-augmented generation system end-to-end, with a custom retrieval backend behind a chat UI. That backend has since been retired: today Agile Coach Pro runs entirely as a ChatGPT Custom GPT, and the product is the better for it — faster iteration on the source set, no infrastructure to maintain, and full benefit of OpenAI's model improvements as they land.

But the project stays here because the product still delivers what it was built to deliver: fast, grounded answers to Agile questions, to anyone who needs them. It's also the origin story for the more mature retrieval systems I later built at Spotware — AIR API in particular is the enterprise-scale descendant of the lessons I first learned shipping this side project.

My Role

I built Agile Coach Pro end-to-end as a solo side project under the Agile Uni brand — scoping the problem, shipping the original RAG backend, evaluating the answer quality, and ultimately taking the engineering decision to retire the custom backend and migrate the product to a ChatGPT Custom GPT once that became the cleaner delivery vehicle.
