- as well as the ability for coach or coachee to use their own images – for maximum relevance and personal engagement.

Chat
Context-based communication with question sets & automatic documentation in the chat
Chat in CAI® World is more than just a side channel – it can be directly linked to all graphical tools in CAI® World. This allows content to be exchanged in context and automatically documented.
Whether as a supplement to voice communication or as the main form of communication for asynchronous work – the chat offers maximum flexibility and secures important information.
Thanks to integrated, scientifically grounded and practice-tested question sets, coaches, leaders, and facilitators receive immediately usable prompts. Depending on the edition, these can even be individually expanded and customized – for efficient, goal-oriented communication directly in the process.

In addition to the primary camera, external cameras can also be integrated as separate video sources and displayed in Desktop Sharing. This opens up new possibilities – for example, visualizing physical objects, whiteboards, or handwritten sketches in real time.
Whether for interactive training, joint process analysis, or collaborative work: Desktop Sharing makes it possible to display content and further develop it directly in dialogue.
The transmission is based on modern WebRTC technology – secure, stable, and browser-based. Important: Sharing your own screen is currently not possible via iPhone or iPad.

Each perspective is represented by a symbolic hat color – from factual-analytical to emotional, from skeptical to optimistic. This creates a structured thinking space where opinions can coexist without contradiction. It promotes clarity, dialogue, and creative problem-solving.

Clients visualize their inner voices – such as values, personality parts, or internalized messages from influential figures (e.g., parents, leaders, mentors). These voices often conflict with each other, especially in challenging situations or when making important decisions.
With this tool, you can:
- Name, position, and describe inner parts – the team members,
- Make contradictions and dynamics visible,
