Straight answers.
I am not a coach. Is Slide for me?
Yes. Slide works for anyone who guides people one to one: coaches, consultants, tutors, trainers, nutritionists, mentors, advisors. The after-session work is the same in every field. You pick your field at signup and Slide speaks its language. Who it's for.
What does Slide do for my specific field?
It tailors the recap template, the terminology (client, student, or member), and the progress record to your field: a parent-ready report for tutors, adherence and progression for trainers, a decisions log for consultants. Choose Something else and Slide uses a clean generic setup that still does the whole job.
Do I see the recap before my client does, and how does consent work?
Every session asks the client to consent before anything records. Slide drafts the recap and action items, you review and edit, and nothing reaches your client until you send it.
Where do my recordings live, and who can access them?
Encrypted and stored in Tokyo, backed up in Singapore. Only you and the systems that draft your recap can read them, never advertisers or other practitioners. Audio auto-deletes after 30 days, and you can delete any recording yourself. Full detail on our security page.
Is this just an AI notetaker?
No. A notetaker gives you a transcript. Slide writes the session recap and the client follow up, delivers them to a private client portal, and tracks the action items and goals across sessions. The notes are the start, not the product.
What if the recap gets something wrong?
You are the editor. Slide drafts the recap, the action items, and the follow up, then waits for you. You fix any line before it goes out, and your client only ever sees what you approve and send.
Does Slide collect payments from my clients?
Not yet. You collect your own way and keep 100% of what you earn. Slide takes no commission, ever. Built in payments are on the roadmap.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new practitioner gets a 7-day Pro trial, no card, with 5 AI recaps included and every other Pro feature open. At the end there is no automatic charge; you pick a plan to continue.
Can I bring my existing clients and past sessions?
Yes. We publish step by step switching guides, and founding practitioners get guided migration. See the switching guides.
If it does not work out, can I leave with my data?
Yes. Your clients and data stay yours and you can export everything at any time. No lock in.
Do I have to move my whole practice to Slide?
No. Slide is an added listing, never a commitment. Keep your own website, socials, Calendly, marketplace listings, and payment methods. Add Slide alongside what you already use, and export everything anytime. No exclusivity, ever.
How do I know a practitioner is a real person?
Look for the Identity verified badge in the directory. Verification is free on every plan, and the badge means our team confirmed a real person, real photo, real name, no AI-generated identities. A practitioner without the badge has not completed the check yet. You can report any profile in one click. See how verification works.
I am working toward an ICF credential. How does the hours log help?
Slide adds up your coaching hours from your recorded sessions and exports a clean log for your application. It does not generate continuing education units; those come from training. See the ICF page.
