22 Jan. Conversational AI Training: A Live Look

Posted on 22/01/2026 by Jutta Portner in: Negotiation
Imagine you’re about to enter a tough negotiation – a supplier with leverage, a stakeholder under pressure, or a client demanding the impossible. Now imagine you’ve already practiced that conversation in a safe, realistic environment.

That’s what our conversational AI training delivers. It doesn’t “teach” theory – it creates live simulations.

Here’s how a session unfolds:

  1. Context setup: You define your role, objectives, and boundaries.
  2. Scenario generation: The system crafts a counterpart with specific motives and style – sometimes logical, sometimes emotional.
  3. Active dialogue: You negotiate. The AI adapts its tone, pace, and tactics dynamically.
  4. Immediate feedback: You receive live hints during the talk and a detailed summary afterward – including argument strength, emotional handling, and structural balance.
It’s experiential learning at digital speed. Participants describe the effect as “stress rehearsal” – the kind that builds calmness, agility, and conviction before the real meeting.

Research* shows that role-play and scenario-based practice substantially enhance negotiation performance and transfer of learning. Deliberate simulation allows professionals to test strategies safely and internalize effective behavioral patterns before real-world application.

The business benefit is measurable: teams become faster, more composed, and far more consistent in tone and approach. They no longer “hope” they’ll perform well – they know because they’ve practiced, reflected, and improved.

Negotiation confidence is not a personality trait; it’s a trained skill. And this is how we train it.

More on this next week. It’s worth it! On January 29th, 2026 we’ll share „How smart AI checklists support process and negotiation performance”
