Last week at HPE Discover 2025, over 200 sales leaders stepped up to try our AI-powered Demo App. Each of them met our voice-enabled AI avatar - essentially a virtual “buyer” ready to be sold to. The experience was nothing short of electric, and we came away with some powerful insights.

What Resonated

Authentic, Human-Like Interaction: The AI avatar didn’t feel like a robot at all - it felt human. It talked back, joked, challenged the pitch, and stayed on point, much like a real buyer would. In fact, most participants got “hilariously roasted” by our opinionated avatar when they tried to sell it a car (yes, it has a personality!). This playful realism wasn’t just for laughs - it put sellers into a realistic scenario where they had to think on their feet.

Spot-On Feedback: After each pitch, the structured feedback was immediate and razor-sharp. Attendees saw a clear breakdown of their performance - what they did well and what they could improve - right on the spot. Better yet, the feedback was eerily aligned with the very skills many of these sales leaders are already coaching their teams on. It wasn’t generic fluff; it was specific and actionable. One leader commented that the avatar highlighted the same improvement areas he drills into his team - talk about validation!

Where AI “Clicked”: The big aha! moment for many was the combination of an authentic conversation + instant scoring. Our demo delivered both: a lifelike back-and-forth and an objective scorecard immediately afterward. That one-two punch makes for high-impact training. As soon as they finished pitching, they knew exactly how they fared. With our voice-enabled sales simulator, people would pitch, the avatar would listen and score them instantly with no-BS feedback . This instant, honest feedback (coupled with a few witty remarks from the avatar) drove the point home in a way that traditional role-plays often can’t. Several leaders told us the real-time scoring made their coaching more concrete - you can’t debate a score that’s calculated on the fly, and it pushed them to think about how to improve right then and there.

What We Heard (Feedback & Objections)

Of course, we also got great constructive feedback from our crowd. Here are the key things 200+ savvy sales leaders told us to improve:

• Visual Realism: The avatar’s look isn’t ultra-realistic yet. Some folks expected a more life-like visual. (On the flip side, others actually liked the more animated look - it made the experience feel safe, with less emotional friction during practice.)
• Response Lag: There was a 3-8 second pause before the avatar responded. A few people found this lag disruptive to the conversation flow. We know every second counts, so this is on our radar to speed up.
• Stability & Features: As with any emerging tech demo, we hit a few bugs and missing features. A couple of sessions saw server disconnects or quirks in the avatar’s responses. Nothing deal-breaking, but definitely noted.

We appreciate this feedback immensely. Every comment points us to a sharper product.

The Road Ahead

We heard every comment loud and clear. Our team is already back at work, iterating fast. You can expect the next version of our Demo App to be even sharper, faster, and more polished. From more realistic avatar visuals to snappier responses and ironed-out kinks - it’s all in progress. We’re making the avatar smarter and the experience smoother, so that “it could change how your team learns” even more profoundly .

This is just the beginning. The excitement and insight from HP Discover proved that AI in sales coaching isn’t a novelty - it’s a game-changer. When an AI can coach like an elite human (with unlimited energy and zero bias), great things happen. And we’re determined to bring those great things to sales teams everywhere.
