Yoodli

Google's enablement program is the best in the business and Yoodli AI Roleplays is honored to be the platform behind a small part of it! Personally, this partnership is also very close to my heart. I remember quitting Google to start Yoodli after having reported to Sergey Brin - a lot of people said that this was the most foolish career decision. GBO, Google's business org (SMB and ENT sales) now uses Yoodli for at-scale enablement - for new product, messaging, AI rollouts. In the old days, training was based on quizzes, webinars, passive videos. Learning isn't interactive and measurement is incredibly difficult With Yoodli AI Roleplays, companies like Google can create training in minutes (not weeks), give every seller a personal coach, measure seller productivity tied to skills, and be sure that this matches Google's high standard of security, privacy enterprise requirements. And they're just getting started with the breadth of use cases - assessments, AI fluency, Gemini enablement, partner training, so much more. This month, Google GBOedu Commercial Enablement team took home 7 awards at the 2026 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards, including Best Leadership Development, Best Competencies & Skill Development, and Best Sales Leadership Development.

It's not every day you end up in the same article as Mark Cuban. Such an honor! Mark's take: the next big use of AI is job simulators - letting employees practice tough conversations the way pilots train in flight simulators before flying the real thing. No pilot's first landing is with 200 passengers on board. They've run it hundreds of times in a simulator first, failed safely, and built the muscle memory before it ever mattered. Athletes, musicians, coaches all know this to be true! Thanks to Inc. Magazine for highlighting how Yoodli AI Roleplaysi is enabling the same kinds of simulations across GTM teams. Sales reps shouldn't be learning how to handle a tough pricing objection live, on a call with a real deal on the line. Managers shouldn't be having their first hard conversation with a direct report be the actual hard conversation. Practice should happen before the stakes are real, not during. The reps who practice before the call are the ones who win it. That's been true forever. AI just made it possible to practice at scale! Want your reps practicing before the real call?

Delighted to announce the Yoodli and Outreach partnership! So many of our customers use Outreach and have asked us to make their Kaia calls even more helpful. Here's what the integration means for your GTM teams: 1) Coaching built from real calls, not scripts. Yoodli's coach reads your Kaia calls and generates roleplays around the exact objections your reps are losing to (and even sends you weekly coaching suggestions in Slack). You're not practicing on a generic persona -- you're practicing on the one(s) that delayed or killed your last deal. 2) One scorecard across practice and live. Same rubric in the roleplay and on the real call. Improvement becomes measurable instead of anecdotal. 3) Proof that practice moves performance. Compare a rep's practice against their Kaia calls and watch the line move. That's the number enablement teams have never been able to put in front of a CRO. Thank you to Nithya Lakshmanan, Manuk Shirinyan, Maggie Valentine, Karen Chastain, and Liliana Novac at Outreach, and Mike Rich, Jaimin Gandhi, and Connor Hopkins on the Yoodli side for making this a reality!
