Internet of things group discussion coach

Approaches presented herein enable delivery of real-time internet of things (IoT) feedback to optimize a group discussion. More specifically, a set of data representing a discussion between users is captured and analyzed to generate a discussion profile that includes participation of the users. This profile is compared to a reference profile and, based on the comparison, a set of discussion participation improvement strategies for a user is generated. A strategy is selected from the set of discussion participation improvement strategies based on an identification of an availability of a set of IoT devices for delivery of the strategy. Instructions are then communicated, responsive to the captured discussion between the users, to an available IoT device to deliver the selected discussion participation improvement strategy to the user through an output user interface of the available IoT device during the discussion.
