Press Release: Leading Training Company Unveils New AI Companion

The BCF Group has unveiled a new AI companion that is set to shape the future of work-based training.

The company, which has been delivering leadership and management training and business coaching courses for the past 25 years, has joined forces with Yoodli to create Thirty Seven.

The training tool combines The BCF Group's expertise, experience and methodology with Yoodli's cutting-edge generative AI technology to enable users to improve their skills and knowledge and boost their confidence outside the classroom.

James White, the CEO of The BCF Group, said: "Thirty Seven is essentially an AI assistant who knows the strengths and weaknesses of every team member and enables them to continually improve and develop their skills.

"It will reduce the cost of training, while simultaneously increasing its effectiveness and accessibility. "And the AI-powered roleplays will help every employee be the best version of themselves."

Varun Puri, CEO at Yoodli, said: "We believe this is a great partnership.

"Yoodli's AI-powered platform perfectly complements the training provided by The BCF Group.

"Thirty Seven gives learners the tools to keep applying and developing their leadership and management skills and build confidence."

Thirty Seven enables users to improve things like giving feedback, carrying out performance reviews, managing conflict, holding coaching sessions and communicating change in realistic scenarios with instant feedback.

The extensive feedback covers tone of voice, eye contact, communication style, use of weak words, management of awkward questions and much more.
