Tuffy, the AI Workplace Advisor

Superpower Your Workforce to Self-Manage and Thrive

Tough Day’s AI Workplace Advisor, Tuffy, gives every employee instant access to confidential, expert guidance and support — like having your company's best manager available 24/7.

The Problem We Solve

Managers are stretched impossibly thin — expected to deliver results while coaching teams, carrying culture, and being available whenever someone needs them. Manager engagement has plummeted to just 27%, and they’re burning out. Meanwhile, employees wait days for guidance, ask friends and family who lack context, or make risky decisions alone.

When workplace challenges go unaddressed, they escalate into costly problems: diminished performance, regrettable attrition, HR investigations, toxic dynamics, and widespread burnout. Organizations with low engagement see 23% lower profitability.

Through a simple conversational interface that’s both chat- and voice-enabled, Tuffy provides confidential, expert guidance to help employees handle any workplace challenge — from navigating difficult conversations to managing conflict, accelerating onboarding, and driving change adoption.
