Careertrainer.ai is for leaders, team managers, and managers who want to handle difficult conversations better. Whether you're preparing for your first criticism conversation, need to resolve a team conflict, or simply want to become more confident in feedback conversations – you can practice every situation beforehand. HR teams and companies also use Careertrainer.ai to systematically develop their leaders.

You choose a scenario (e.g., criticism conversation with a defensive employee) and conduct a realistic conversation with an AI character. The AI reacts like a real person – with emotions, pauses, and spontaneous reactions. After the conversation, you receive detailed feedback: What went well, what you can improve, which formulations were helpful. You can repeat each conversation as often as you want until you feel confident.

You can practice all critical leadership situations: Feedback conversations, criticism conversations, conflict conversations, annual reviews, performance appraisals, salary negotiations, termination conversations, conversations with difficult personalities, and more. Each conversation type offers multiple scenarios with different character types – defensive, emotional, cooperative, or confrontational. This prepares you for different reactions.

You can test Careertrainer.ai for free – without a credit card. After the trial period, there are flexible pricing models for individuals and teams. For companies, we offer team licenses with analytics and centralized management. Compared to external trainers or coaching sessions, you save significantly: A single coaching session often costs €200-500, while with Careertrainer.ai you can practice unlimited.

A coach is valuable for deep personal development. Careertrainer.ai complements this: You can practice specific conversations as often as you want – without appointment coordination, without paying each time. Many leaders use both: The coach for strategic topics, Careertrainer.ai for practical preparation for specific conversations. Unlike role-playing with colleagues, it's also completely confidential.

Our AI characters are based on psychological personality models and react like real people. They become emotional when you're insensitive. They block when you become too direct. They open up when you listen empathetically. Many users report that the conversations feel surprisingly real – including the stress that a real difficult conversation triggers. That's exactly what makes the training so effective.

Yes, that's exactly what Careertrainer.ai is made for. Do you have a difficult conversation tomorrow? Choose a suitable scenario, practice different approaches, and find out which formulations work. The feedback shows you where you can improve. Many leaders use Careertrainer.ai the evening before an important conversation – 15 minutes of preparation can make the difference.

Your conversations are private. As a German company, we meet all GDPR requirements. Your data is hosted on servers in Germany and stored encrypted. We anonymize data so nothing is passed on to LLM providers that could be traced back to you. You can use Careertrainer.ai without anyone – including your employer – finding out which conversations you practice.

That depends on your goal. If you're preparing for a specific conversation, 2-3 runs the evening before are often enough. If you want to generally get better, we recommend 2-3 short sessions per month of 15 minutes each. The advantage over seminars: You don't forget anything because you practice regularly instead of attending a workshop once a year.

Yes. In addition to individual use, we offer a team solution for companies. HR teams can invite leaders, track training progress in the dashboard, and create custom scenarios for company-specific challenges. This way, you develop leaders systematically and measure success. The team solution is particularly suitable for onboarding new leaders or preparing for change processes.

In the team solution for companies, HR teams can create custom scenarios – e.g., for specific company challenges like restructurings, remote teams, or generational change. You can also upload your own leadership guidelines so the feedback takes them into account. For individual users, we offer a broad library of pre-made scenarios that cover most leadership situations.

Immediately. After registration, you have direct access to all scenarios and can start your first conversation within 2 minutes. No appointment scheduling, no waiting time, no setup. If you want to use the team solution for your company, we support you with onboarding – even then you can start within 24 hours.

Video courses teach theory – you watch how someone else conducts a conversation. With Careertrainer.ai, you conduct the conversation yourself. You feel the stress when the AI character reacts emotionally. You notice which formulations work and which don't. This active practice anchors skills much more sustainably than passive watching. Studies show: After 30 days, 87% of seminar knowledge is forgotten – practical training remains.

Yes. For companies, we offer pilot projects over 4-8 weeks to test Careertrainer.ai in a realistic context. You get a personal contact person, support with custom scenarios, and detailed analytics reports. After the pilot phase, you can roll out the solution company-wide. This minimizes risk and you see concrete results before deciding.
