NI App: Real-Time Intelligence for Improved Negotiation Performance, Argumentation and Outcomes
The NI-App is an AI-powered negotiation simulator that turns practice into measurable performance improvement.
What it does
It helps you:
- Prepare and rehearse real negotiations before walking into them
- Receive instant, structured feedback on every argument and decision
- Build repeatable negotiation skills — tracked and scored over time
- Perform more confidently and close better outcomes in every deal
How it works
The NI-App combines:
- A realistic AI counterpart that mirrors the behaviour and style of your actual negotiation partner
- A scenario library of industry-specific negotiation situations — or your own real, upcoming negotiations fed in via the NI-Planner
- Continuous performance tracking via the Nelo Score — your personal negotiation performance metric
The system processes context, stakeholders and objectives to provide:
- A tailored simulation of the negotiation from the counterpart's perspective
- Real-time guidance on argumentation structure and strategy
- Post-session analysis of communication style, tone, and decision quality
- A personalised improvement plan for the next session
AI Feedback
The app continuously evaluates:
- Argumentation logic and persuasiveness
- Vocal tone, pacing, and emotional register
- Body language and non-verbal signals (via video mode)
- Strategic positioning and concession behaviour
