"I love it! I think the product is absolutely fantastic - I was really impressed with the level of back and forth interaction... it feels like I'm having a real conversation."
Immediate Application
"This has definitely helped me with an actual conversation. I slowed down and was able to think about not using filler words and my phrasing and tone."
Confidence in Action
"I had an almost identical scenario in real life to the one I practiced, so it increased my confidence to know that I was being a thoughtful manager."

"I love that Ambr AI gives people managers a space to practice, make mistakes and get immediate actionable feedback to help build confidence and grow.
We received such great feedback from our pilot group and it is great to see the 'Scenario Creator' feature now live, making it even easier for our managers to be proactive and practice real life scenarios in a safe environment."
