New AI Platform Lets Workers Practice Tough Conversations

Practicing a difficult conversation with your boss or prepping for a tense client meeting just got easier, thanks to a new platform that lets you rehearse before the stakes get real.

Enparadigm launched Catalyx Go this week, a self-serve learning tool that uses artificial intelligence to simulate challenging workplace scenarios. Professionals can now practice giving tough feedback, navigating cross-team conflicts, or preparing for critical client calls in a safe environment where mistakes become lessons instead of career setbacks.

The platform runs on Conversation AI technology that responds to user choices and provides personalized feedback after each simulation. It's designed to mirror the actual decisions and trade-offs people face at work, building confidence through repetition rather than traditional training videos or manuals.

"What improves performance is not content, but practice that mirrors real work," said Kumar Veetrag, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Enparadigm. The company has spent years developing workplace simulations for major enterprises like Amazon, Cognizant, and HDFC Bank, serving over 1,000 organizations globally.

Now that same simulation technology is available to individual managers, small teams, and growing companies who previously couldn't access enterprise-level training tools. The self-serve format means professionals can practice on their own schedule, rehearsing scenarios as many times as needed until they feel ready.

The Ripple Effect

Making professional development tools accessible beyond large corporations could level the playing field for workers at smaller organizations. Employees who might never receive formal leadership training can now build critical soft skills like conflict resolution and difficult conversations that determine career advancement.

The platform addresses a growing gap in modern workplaces where professionals face increasingly complex decisions but have fewer opportunities to develop judgment through safe practice. By creating a low-risk space to fail and learn, Catalyx Go helps workers build the muscle memory needed for real-world success.

Small business managers can now access the same quality training that fortune 500 companies provide their teams, democratizing career development one simulated conversation at a time.
