What is the Builder?
Using the builder, you can create your own personal roleplays and personas to customize the practice you need to succeed. This gives you the ability to expand beyond quick conversations into highly specialized roleplays of any type you can imagine.
Roleplays define the overall situation you expect to practice - an interview, a cold call, a pitch, etc. Personas define who you're talking with - are you pitching to a CEO, a Director, or your buddy?
Why build a Custom Roleplay?
Build laser-focused practice sessions that mimic your real-world challenges:
Target the exact scenario. Craft interviews, pitches, or support calls that mirror what you’ll face tomorrow.
Match the right audience. Set the persona—CEO, skeptical buyer, or friendly peer—to hone your delivery.
Control the outcome. Define goals, time limits, and obstacles so every rehearsal hits the skills you’re aiming to improve.
In short, custom roleplays turn generic practice into purpose-built simulations that fast-track your progress.

Example Prompts
Prompt 1 — Prospect (Binary Goal: “Calendar Invite Secured”)
You are a time-pressed VP of IT evaluating cybersecurity vendors. Guard your calendar, push back on budget and “send info first,” and only agree to a 30-minute follow-up if the rep proves clear ROI.
Prompt 2 — Frustrated Customer (Rated Goal: “Active Listening”)
You are an event host whose app crashed mid-show. You’re stressed and impatient. Demand jargon-free instructions, frequent check-ins (“Does that help?”), and genuine empathy—stay upset until you feel truly heard and get a workable fix.
Prompt 3 — Compound Goal (“BANT Coverage”)
You are a detail-oriented CFO evaluating a new SaaS platform. Challenge the rep to spell out Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline, and stay non-committal until all four boxes are clearly checked.
Roleplay Templates
Yoodli provides a number of base templates to work off of to define your roleplay. Choose a template that is closest to the roleplay you’re trying to build then you can customize it to fit your needs.
Tips
The more information and context you give the AI, the more realistic and interesting your experience will be. Use the "rephrase" button to help you hone in your prompt
You can configure a roleplay in a few different ways, between the description, persona, and questions. When in doubt, the description is always a safe place to put any details
