Why voice
Workplace conversations happen out loud. So does Echo. Not a chatbot. Not multiple choice. A conversation honest enough to prepare you for the one that counts.
02/ Method
The Rehearsal Method.
Most "AI training" gives you a grade and moves on. The Rehearsal Method scores two things: what you achieved, and how you behaved getting there. Both backed by transcript evidence.
Scenarios grounded in where these conversations actually go wrong. Adaptive voice personas that behave like real people. Evaluation that scores the moment and the pattern.
What gets scored, every session
Empathy & emotional intelligence
Verbal communication
Listening skills
Conflict resolution
Collaboration & teamwork
Scored on a 1–5 scale with 2–4 sub-criteria each · plus binary objective completion
03/ Library
A growing library. Shaped to your needs.
Ready out of the box.
Grounded in where conversations go wrong.
Grounded scenario. Named stakes. Adaptive persona. Calibrated rubric. No generic prompts.
Built around your organisation.
Your language. Your policies. Your stakes.
We work with your L&D team to build scenarios around the conversations your people are actually having.
Always expanding.
More scenarios every month.
We're building a network of practitioners and researchers to deepen each pathway. New scenarios added continuously.
From the founder
Robin Brown
CEO & Co-founder
Clients kept asking for the same thing — adaptive soft skills practice, tailored to their world. Not generic. Not sales-focused. A platform that could cover the breadth of real workplace conversations, shaped to each organisation. Nobody had built it. So we did.
04/ Pilot
Echo is live. Selecting our founding customers.
Our founding customers shape the scenarios. We build the product around your organisation before anyone else gets near it.
