When we first launched AI Coach, we started with AI Training Bots and AI Scorecards. Training Bots analyze past calls to create realistic prospect simulations, so reps can practice their pitch without burning real conversations. Scorecards automatically listen to and grade calls, saving managers hours and helping them focus their coaching where it matters most.

These features have proven to be extremely powerful for customers. It’s how Seismic cut their ramp time by 40%!

Over the past year, we’ve expanded and improved AI Coach significantly, driving even more value across the board.

To celebrate, we’re looking back at some fan favorites we’ve shipped over the past year.

‍

Impossible Bot

Try to book a meeting with your toughest prospect.

Picture the toughest prospect you’ve ever called – then make them 10x tougher. That’s the Impossible Bot.

It’s designed to push reps to their limits, helping them sharpen their pitch, stay composed under pressure, and build real resilience. It’s also a great way to drive healthy competition. One team made over 100 calls to the Impossible Bot before someone finally booked the meeting – and took home the “beat-the-bot” SPIF.

Cold Call Training Analytics

See how practice impacts real conversations.

With the Cold Call Training Analytics dashboard, managers get visibility into reps’ activity with the AI Training Bots. Ultimately, you can hold your team accountable to do a certain number of calls with a specific bot for a given time range.

Get analytics like dials, duration, and meetings booked so you can understand the correlation between practice with bots and real results on calls.

‍

AI-Generated Objections

Simulate real objections.

Automatically generate objections after the pitch based on the most common objections from your real historical calls.

Instead of hardcoding responses, our bots now learn from your call data – so they push back like real prospects do, like “send me an email,” “we’re already using a solution,” “this isn’t a priority.”

Your reps will hear the objections they’re most likely to face – and get repetitions to handle them with confidence before they hit the phones.

‍

Targeted Practice Bots

Focus on the part of the call that matters most.

New to cold calling? Targeted Practice Bots are built to help reps learn one step at a time. Start with the opener. Then move on to handling objections, talking about competitors, and closing strong.

Perfect for onboarding, these bots let managers assign specific parts of the call to practice – so reps can build confidence as they go. Use it as a warm-up before dialing or create a “beat-the-bot” challenge to reinforce key concepts. It’s focused, hands-on training that accelerates ramp. 

‍

Folders for Bots

Stay organized as you scale. 

As your bot library grows, things can get messy. Folders make it easy to organize your AI Training Bots by persona, segment, team, or skill level. 

Whether you're building a full onboarding curriculum or prepping for a new product launch, folders make it easy to find, manage, and share the right bots with the right reps – fast.

Bonus: it’s easier than ever to share playbooks and exercises across teams.

‍

Custom Hang Up Criteria

Build better habits with smart training rules.

In real life, bad habits cost you meetings. With Custom Hang Up Criteria, your bots can hold reps accountable by ending the call when filler words show up.

It’s great for helping new reps avoid saying “um,” “uh,” or “kinda” under pressure – and for more experienced reps to stay crisp and confident on their pitch.

‍

Parallel Dialing Simulator

Practice dialing more than one prospect at once.

You want your team to be comfortable with parallel dialing. But you don’t want new reps to practice on valuable prospects.

Cut down ramp time with our new parallel dialing roleplay. Get reps ready for the phones faster by letting them practice parallel dialing on AI bots.

‍

Global AI Training Bots

Help global teams practice their pitch.

Need help onboarding and training teams in different countries? Is language a barrier to enablement?

We released our AI training bots in 10 additional languages (Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, and Romanian), so your reps can practice in the language they work in too.
