VirtualSpeech: AI Soft Skills Practice and Coaching

Most communication training doesn't change behavior. Managers learn a feedback model in a workshop, then walk into a performance conversation having never said the words out loud. VirtualSpeech gives them somewhere to practice first, and gives L&D the scores to show what changed.

One platform for workplace communication

• Roleplays: realistic conversations with AI characters that respond and push back, from giving feedback and managing performance to handling complaints and answering interview questions.
• Public Speaking: present to a virtual audience, from a one-to-one pitch to a conference stage.
• Skills Coaching: guided sessions with Hugh, the AI coach, each ending with a written takeaway.
• AI Feedback & Debrief: a scored report against named criteria after every roleplay or speech.
• Custom roleplays: build scenarios around your own policies, products, and people, with no-code authoring.
• Skills analytics: progress by individual, team and department.

Built for enterprise rollout

Organizations roll VirtualSpeech out as programs, typically starting with manager and leadership conversations and expanding department by department. Ready-made pathways such as Manager Essentials mean teams can start on day one. The platform supports single sign-on via SAML 2.0, sends completions and scores to your LMS via API, can connect to your own AI model, and supports practice in 20+ languages. Data is stored in a US or European region, and full security documentation is available in our Trust Center.
