Episode 209: 100,000 Signals in 30 Minutes: Using AI to Read the Human Side of Teams with Dan Kasper

On this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld talks with Dan Kasper, Co-Founder and CEO of Piloteer, an AI and applied neuroscience company focused on human-computer teaming and amplifying team performance. Drawing on his experience in Navy SEAL teams, Airbnb’s trust and safety organization, and the world of early-stage startups, Dan shares why high performance is something teams can intentionally build through the right systems, behaviors, and awareness.

Dan and Dane dig into the difference between individual productivity and collective performance, especially as organizations rush to adopt AI. They also explore how Piloteer’s AI-powered performance coaching analyzes signals like body language, tone, sentiment, and context to help people recognize patterns and make adjustments in real time. Through examples of leaders discovering how their nonverbal cues affect their teams, Dan illustrates how greater awareness can build trust, improve communication, and create more psychologically safe environments.

Dan explains why building a great team starts with understanding the people already on it. Rather than relying on gut feelings or simply hiring people who seem like a good fit, organizations can use behavioral patterns and team-level data to identify complementary strengths, uncover blind spots, and make more informed decisions about who belongs where. Dan also discusses how applied neuroscience plays a role in helping teams achieve their potential.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about putting the human experience at the center of AI adoption, making team dynamics more measurable, and using technology to help people understand one another better.
