What does Rapport actually do?
Rapport works best as a practice range for human conversations. That is why the product feels stronger for training, onboarding, and coaching than for generic open-ended chat.
Run scored AI avatar role plays for training, coaching, and customer-facing practice.
Rapport is strongest when you need people to practice live conversations and prove whether they improved. Scored role play is the reason to buy it. The cost is that free access ends quickly and custom rollouts push you into higher tiers fast.

The trial is enough for one real pilot. Paid plans make sense once you need recurring usage, multiple creators, or branded rollout.
Pro gives 100 usage minutes per month, 1 creator, reports, and template access; Business adds 500 minutes, 3 creators, branding removal, and custom character uploads.
Use the trial on one narrow scenario with real learners before spending time on custom characters. If the scoring does not change coaching behavior there, the rest of the platform will not save the rollout.
Build a scenario where a manager has to deliver difficult feedback, handle defensiveness, and finish with a clear action plan. The learner can repeat the same moment, change phrasing, and compare scores instead of relying on vague workshop feedback.
Sales teams can practice a cold pitch, pricing pushback, or late-stage objection in a browser before they burn live opportunities. The value is being able to standardize scenarios and see whether reps improve over multiple attempts.
Support or hospitality teams can rehearse angry-customer situations without waiting for a real complaint to train on. It works when the goal is to practice tone, pacing, and response quality under pressure.
