What is Yoodli AI?
Yoodli AI is a judgment‑free, AI communication coach. You can record or upload a talk, roleplay a scenario with AI (e.g., interview, sales discovery, stakeholder update), or run the desktop app for live, private coaching during Zoom/Meet/Teams calls. Yoodli tracks pacing, filler words, word choice (including non‑inclusive language), monologuing, conciseness, and elements of body language (when video is enabled) and then suggests targeted improvements.
Yoodli also provides AI Roleplays—guided simulations you can customize (tone, difficulty, goals), now with multi‑persona panels to mimic buying committees, interview panels, or group briefings.
Yoodli AI Key Features
- Private, real‑time coaching in online meetings
The desktop app gives in‑the‑moment nudges (“slow down,” “wrap up the monologue,” “avoid filler words”) while only analyzing your audio in Private mode—no one else on the call is recorded. Works across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, etc. - Interactive AI Roleplays (single or multi‑persona)
Practice interviews, pitches, tough conversations, or panel presentations; create up to three AI personas with distinct motivations that also interact with each other. - Builder for custom scenarios & personas
Describe the scenario you need; Yoodli’s Builder assembles a realistic roleplay, complete with a persona and context. - AI Pre‑Read (document‑grounded roleplays)
Upload briefs, playbooks, case studies, or job descriptions; the AI “pre‑reads” them so your simulation references the actual material. - Roleplay Memory (consistency across attempts/programs)
Enable memory so the AI remembers prior successful attempts—useful in multi‑step programs and certification tracks. - Detailed analytics & coaching comments
Automated transcript plus metrics on pacing, filler words, repetition, conciseness, word choice, monologues/interruptions, and non‑verbal cues (when video is available). The coach suggests rephrasing and follow‑ups to strengthen answers. - Team Mode & Zoom app
For coaching in group settings, Yoodli can join a Zoom call as a participant to provide analytics per speaker—handy for classrooms, workshops, or enablement sessions. - Enterprise controls & integrations
Admins get custom goals/rubrics, Coach Bots, content spaces, program management, SSO, and LMS integrations via LTI 1.1/1.3 and SCORM 1.2 (plus web embeds for Enterprise). - Security & compliance
Yoodli is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and GDPR‑compliant, with a public Trust Center for policies, data flows, and reports. - Multi‑language roleplays
Recent releases add support for Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Thai roleplays.

Deep‑Dive Tutorial: How to Use Yoodli AI (Individuals & Teams)
A) Individuals — From first login to advanced practice
1) Create your account & pick a path
- Go to yoodli.ai → Get Yoodli. From the home screen you can:
- Roleplay (guided simulation),
- Record/Upload a talk for analysis, or
- Install the Desktop app for live coaching in calls.
2) Quick start: Record or upload a speech
- Choose Record or Upload.
- After processing, review:
- Transcript + analytics (pacing, filler words, conciseness, repetition, non‑inclusive language).
- Coaching comments (where to rephrase, how to tighten, and suggested follow‑ups).
- Use the Share button if you want external feedback.
3) Practice with AI Roleplays
- From the Roleplays gallery, select a template (e.g., “PM Interview,” “Stakeholder Update,” “Discovery Call”), or hit Builder to generate a custom scenario by describing your context.
- Customize:
- Persona (title, tone, goals).
- Multi‑persona (add up to three panelists; each with distinct motivations).
- Optional: AI Pre‑Read—attach job description, deck, or case study to ground the conversation.
- Run the roleplay: Speak naturally; Yoodli asks follow‑ups based on your answers. Review analytics and coaching comments afterward.
4) Live meeting coach (Desktop app)
- Install the Yoodli desktop app and connect your calendar; Yoodli will detect your meetings and provide in‑the‑moment nudges. In Private mode only your voice is analyzed; others are not recorded. Works with Zoom/Meet/Teams/Webex.
- Tip: In Settings, ensure Enhanced Privacy is enabled to keep the app hidden during screenshare; disable only when support asks you to share the app window.
5) Interpret your analytics like a coach
- Aim for steady words per minute, fewer fillers, shorter monologues, and crisp conclusions. Use the rephrasing suggestions and follow‑ups to iterate.
- If you’re prepping for interviews, paste a job description and practice with STAR prompts; Yoodli will grade conciseness, repetition, content coverage, etc.
6) Language options
- If you’re practicing in other languages, select available roleplay languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, etc.) per the latest release notes/announcements.
B) Teams & Organizations — Rollout, integration, and scaling
1) Create an Organization & configure privacy
- Admins can brand the org, set default visibility (Private/Public/Org‑only), and restrict link sharing by domain. Use Groups to assign training by cohort.
2) Build a training Program (certification or onboarding)
- Under Programs, assemble a step‑by‑step path: scenarios, deadlines, nudges, and Program Surveys. Set scoring via Goals (including Custom Goals) with weights to produce a composite score.
3) Customize coaching at scale
- In Content Spaces, manage Roleplays, Personas, Coach Bots, Custom Goals, Interview banks, and files. Coach Bots and Custom Goals tailor feedback to your framework (e.g., SPICED, MEDDICC, leadership model).
4) Ground simulations with your materials
- Add AI Pre‑Read (decks, playbooks, case studies, policies) so the AI “knows” your content and responds accordingly. Optionally enable Strict Mode (Tutor/Accreditation) to constrain the AI to materials only.
5) Keep practice sticky with memory
- Enable Roleplay Memory so personas remember each learner’s best passing attempt (up to 10) within a program.
6) Integrate with your stack
- LMS: Use LTI 1.1/1.3 or SCORM 1.2 packages to embed roleplays and sync completion/grades. Web Embeds surface dashboards/recordings inside the LMS (Enterprise).
- Zoom Team Mode: Invite Yoodli to calls to capture speaker‑level analytics in group sessions.
- SSO/HRIS/CRM: Admin documentation covers SSO options and Salesforce Lightning embedding for enablement workflows.
7) Measure impact
- Use org/team dashboards and CSV exports; case studies report large reductions in manager grading time and faster certification cycles (e.g., Snowflake saving ~1,215 hours/quarter).
