Don't just study negotiations. Practice them.
Realistic negotiations with AI characters. Choose strategy, lead the dialogue, decide under pressure — and get a personal debrief of every round.
"We've revised the contract terms due to a server architecture upgrade. The minimum base-rate increase we're willing to seriously consider is 15%."
"What exactly drove this increase given our current guaranteed volume? We expected the terms to hold on renewal."
"The main reason is rising cross-border logistics and 24/7 Tier-3 support. However, if you lock volume for 2 years we're open to revisiting the rate."
You can't learn to negotiate from a textbook alone.
Theory ≠ practice
Reading bestsellers won't reprogram your physiological reactions and stress when a real counterpart starts pushing openly or blocking the dialogue.
Mistakes are costly
Real commercial deals, funding rounds, and budget talks with the Board are no place for risky experiments.
Feedback is subjective
Colleagues and counterparts rarely tell the truth about your hidden concessions, weak arguments, or a prematurely revealed BATNA.
Preparing for the Board
"Real negotiations have no 10-minute pause to think. Either you sharpened your arguments in advance, or you accept someone else's terms."
Four steps to your next real negotiation
Choose
A scenario from a structured catalog of business situations: procurement, salary review, key-client retention, or crisis audit.
Prepare
Fix your target outcome, walk-away threshold, negotiation range (ZOPA), and best alternative (BATNA).
Negotiate
Run the meeting by voice or text against an autonomous AI model that reacts to pressure, emotion, and the structure of your arguments.
Debrief
Get an objective competency scorecard, a negotiation-profile radar, and a detailed audit of the key turning-point lines.
Every decision changes the negotiation
Real negotiations are rarely one-on-one. Face multiple AI participants with mutually exclusive interests.
Three opposing views on budget, SLA, and migration terms. A conflict of interest between stakeholders.
"I won't increase the annual IT budget by a single dollar."
"Switching the current stack and vendor will halt sprints for at least 3 months."
"We can offer a flexible rate if we sign for 24 months."

Choose what you want to master
Train negotiations through proven global approaches — right inside a real simulation.
Harvard Principled
Seek mutual gain, separate people from the problem, and focus on true interests instead of rigid positions.
SPIN Technique
Sequential situation, problem, implication, and need-payoff questions to surface hidden pains.
BATNA Control
Assess the best alternative to a negotiated agreement, define the walk-away point, and hold the balance of power.
Combined Strategic
A full stress test: the Harvard value approach, deep SPIN probing, and BATNA defense.
Choose how you negotiate
Text chat
A thoughtful real-time dialogue. Weigh every phrase, use notes, and test arguments at a calm pace.
Voice mode
Speak into the mic and train your intonation, confidence, tempo, and ability to parry objections without pauses.
Challenge (move choices)
Pick from 3–4 tactical responses under a ticking timer and instantly track the shift in negotiation balance.
You learn more than whether you won
NEGOTIA analyzes exactly how you led the dialogue, where you gave up initiative, and which levers you missed.
You successfully surfaced the counterpart's real interest (contract term) and kept a constructive, calm tone even under aggressive bargaining.
You made the first price concession before requesting counter-conditions on SLA guarantees and payment scheme.
In round 5 the counterpart mentioned the project term — the main value-exchange point you only partly used.
"If we extend the contract to 2 years, what counter-discount on the first service year will you commit to?"
A debrief that actually changes your negotiation pattern
In real life, partners rarely explain why a deal fell through. NEGOTIA impartially highlights every step: unjustified discounts, missed leverage, and moments you lost the initiative.
Try again. But do it differently.
Restart the scenario from the same pivotal round, test a different tactic, and compare results in real time.
Realistic scenarios for any context
Salary raise
Defend your results before a conservative manager under strict payroll limits.
Vendor price increase
The vendor demands a 15% increase. Find counter-conditions and protect the contract economics.
Key-client discount
An enterprise client threatens to leave for a competitor, demanding a 30% discount at fiscal year-end.
Team resource conflict
Two leads claim the same senior engineer for parallel critical releases.
Strategic partnership
A joint venture (JV): aligning ownership shares, IP, and veto rights.
Rescuing a broken contract
A critical infrastructure failure caused client losses. Prevent a lawsuit and termination.
Your negotiation style becomes visible over time
The system tracks concession dynamics, reaction speed under psychological pressure, and typical mistakes across dozens of sessions.
Handling psychological pressure
In the last 3 rounds you gave up to 60% of the range under the counterpart's direct emotional pressure.
Your next negotiation can be your training ground
Test your skills and strategy in a safe simulation before you step into a real meeting with a key client or investor.
