Overview
What is Yoodli AI?
Yoodli AI is an AI-powered communication coaching and roleplay platform that helps individuals and enterprise teams practice high-stakes conversations in a private, judgment-free environment. Founded by ex-Googlers and based in Seattle, the platform records verbal communication and delivers instant feedback on filler words, pacing, eye contact, vocabulary, and vocal tone. It powers everything from solo interview prep to enterprise-scale sales enablement, and is used by Toastmasters International members in 149 countries after the organization adopted the platform in December 2022. Yoodli holds a 4.7/5 rating on G2 with 87% five-star reviews as of 2026, and closed a $40M Series B in late 2025 led by WestBridge Capital, tripling its valuation to $300M. It is trusted by Google, Databricks, Snowflake, SAP, Korn Ferry, Sandler, BDO, and FranklinCovey.
