Yoodli AI
Overview
Yoodli AI is an innovative artificial intelligence platform designed to act as a personal speech coach. It helps users improve their public speaking, presentation, and general communication skills by providing detailed, actionable feedback on their verbal and non-verbal cues. Users can record themselves speaking, upload existing audio/video files, or even receive real-time feedback during live virtual meetings on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams via its desktop application.
The tool''s unique strength lies in its comprehensive analysis, which covers aspects like filler words (e.g., "um," "uh"), pacing, word choice, vocal variety, body language (including eye contact via video analysis), and conciseness. Yoodli also offers interactive games and targeted exercises to make practice engaging. Beyond individual practice, it provides transcripts and summaries of speeches, allowing users to track their progress over time and identify key takeaways.
By offering a private, judgment-free space for practice and leveraging AI for objective insights, Yoodli enhances user confidence and effectiveness in communication.
