"The launch of Conversation Practice marks a significant step forward for democratizing access to soft skills training, enabling anyone at any level at any organization to practice the crucial communication and management skills they need to level up," says Tigran Sloyan, CEO and Co-Founder of CodeSignal. He adds: "The best developers aren't just great at programming, they're also strong communicators, negotiators, and leaders. Now, our users can master these soft skills by applying practice-based learnings within an interactive AI environment."The Conversation Practice experience begins with a lesson that covers core concepts such as critical thinking, problem solving, or communication. After completing the lesson, learners are invited to practice in a simulated environment with an AI-generated partner designed to reinforce core concepts by presenting real-world challenges. Following each practice session, CodeSignal's AI-powered tutor, Cosmo, analyzes the user's performance, providing constructive feedback for improved skills development. Practicing one-on-one with Cosmo in a judgment-free, AI-simulated environment allows learners to build confidence without the awkwardness of peer roleplay
