Train difficult conversations – with AI simulation.
Practice criticism, conflicts, and terminations before it becomes serious.
You know you need to have the conversation, but uncertainty holds you back: How will he react? What if she cries? With our AI simulation, you can practice difficult conversations in advance—interacting with realistic characters who respond defensively, emotionally, or evasively. This way, you enter the conversation prepared rather than facing the unknown.

Master difficult conversations – through practice, not hope.
You don't learn to handle difficult conversations in a seminar – you learn by engaging in them. Our AI simulation provides a safe space for practice: mistakes have no consequences, repetition is unlimited, and feedback is immediate.
Conducting feedback conversations without demotivating.
You know you need to discuss Lisa's performance with her. But how do you approach it without her shutting down? Too harsh, and she gets hurt. Too soft, and nothing changes. In our AI simulation, you practice delivering feedback with various response types: The Defensive, who justifies everything. The Sensitive, who reacts with immediate hurt. The Indifferent, who seems unreachable. Find the right tone—before it matters.
Clearly identify performance issues without assigning blame.
Handle objections and justifications with confidence.
Establishing Commitment: What Changes and By When?
Frame criticism in a way that it resonates rather than bounces off.
De-escalate conflict conversations instead of escalating them.
Two team members are no longer communicating, or someone is attacking you personally. Ignoring the situation only worsens it, but intervening incorrectly can be just as detrimental. In our AI simulation, you will practice mediating between entrenched positions, regulating emotions, and professionally deflecting personal attacks. You will learn to shift from blame to a solution-oriented approach.
Mediating between hardened fronts.
Professionally counter personal attacks.
De-escalate emotions without placating.
Transitioning from blame to solution-oriented thinking.
Conduct termination conversations professionally and empathetically.
Termination conversations are emotionally challenging for both parties, and uncertainty can lead to mistakes: excessive small talk, raising false hopes, and compromising the other person's dignity. In our AI simulation, you practice separation conversations with various reactions: shock, anger, tears, and attempts to negotiate. You will learn to remain clear and empathetic, even in difficult situations.
Convey the message directly and clearly.
Professionally managing emotional responses.
"Preserving value – for both sides."
Stay secure during negotiation attempts.
Realistic AI characters – just like your real employees.
Our AI characters respond not according to a script, but to you. They become defensive when you apply pressure, open up when you listen, and shut down when you make accusations. Each character has unique triggers and behaviors based on the MBTI personality model. This way, you train with the complexity you encounter in everyday life.
50+ Personality Types: From Dominant to Insecure
Dynamic responses to your conversational style.
Emotional Variation: Voice, Tempo, Pauses
Scientifically grounded in the MBTI model.
Instant feedback – know what worked.
After each conversation, you can see what worked and what didn’t: Where did you listen, and where did you interrupt? When did your counterpart open up, and when did they close off? Which phrasing was effective? You’ll receive specific improvement suggestions and can immediately repeat the conversation to test new strategies.
