Yoodli

Yoodli also offers personalized communication coaching, a way to practice speaking without an audience. The AI-powered tool offers private, immediate feedback on speaking skills, something that's useful for anyone who wants to improve their communication abilities for sales pitches, presentations, job interviews or sensitive conversations.

Yoodli works by letting people pick a scenario or speaking goal, then engage in a conversation that's answered with follow-up questions generated by the AI. The tool offers immediate feedback on the content, delivery and progress over time. That feedback includes measurements like concision, filler words and pace so people can see how they're improving and adjust accordingly.

Yoodli is private and secure, with speeches accessible only to the user. The company behind the tool is staffed by experts, including world champions of public speaking and TED speakers, so the coaching is grounded in the expertise of people who know how to communicate well.

Among Yoodli's features are:

• Quantifiable Progress Tracking: People can see how they're improving over time with measurements like filler words, pace and concision.
• Customizable Scenarios: People can pick from a variety of scenarios, like job interviews, sales pitches or role-play practice, to customize their coaching.
• AI-Powered Follow-up Questions: The tool answers with questions related to the conversation to mimic real-world conversations.
• Private and Secure: Speeches are available only to the user, so it's a private and secure environment for coaching.

Yoodli can be used in a variety of ways, including:

• Sales Enablement: Train sales reps with custom content and track their progress.
• Corporate Communications: Customize scenarios for role-play practice and offer consistent training at scale.
• Manager Training: Track progress across cohorts and see how people improve over time.
• Coaching Companies: Establish benchmarks with measurable speaking analytics.

Pricing details are on the Yoodli website, and the company offers free and paid subscription tiers depending on how many people need to use the tool.

Yoodli has caught the eye of several big names, including Google Cloud Enablement, Uber, Accenture and World Champion of Public Speaking Craig Valentine, who said in a statement that Yoodli "offers a game-changing way to coach people on their speaking skills, and we're excited to see the impact it will have on our business."
