Each simulation scores 5 competencies, chosen from a library of 200, with quoted evidence. Dehurdle runs in 98 languages, and you can practice over a WhatsApp voice call.
Can I upload my company's documents?
Yes. Upload PDF, PPTX and DOCX files directly. The AI personas are grounded in your pricing models, internal guidelines and compliance policies.
How is enterprise data privacy handled?
Practice audio isn't stored after the session ends; transcripts and scorecards are kept.
