Direct answer
What should you ask before trialing an AI sales coach?
Ask how fast you can be live on a real call, what material you can upload, how accurate and fast the prompts are, whether a bot joins the call, how your data is stored and deleted, and what the trial costs and how you cancel. Amotions answers each of these publicly, and the free Basic plan needs no card.
What is Amotions AI?
Amotions AI is a real-time private AI sales coach that delivers in-call guidance, AI roleplay, and post-call scorecards—trained on the customer’s playbook. It does not join meetings as a bot.
Why ask these questions before a trial?
A live AI coach listens to your sales calls, so it is worth knowing how it behaves before you put it on a real prospect. These questions come from a closer who was too busy for a demo call and wanted answers by email first.
For each group below, the Amotions answer restates what the product docs and FAQ publish today. Where something is not published, ask during your trial. A vendor that says so is easier to trust than one that claims everything.
How fast can I be set up and use it on a live call?
Ask any vendor
•
How long from sign-up to a live call? Is there an install, or does it run in the browser?
How Amotions answers
Most people are up and running in a few minutes: create a free Basic account, install the desktop app or open Chrome, and add your playbook. Uploaded material is usable quickly for new calls. Deeper tailoring from your feedback and testing usually takes about a week of iteration.
What can I upload, and how quickly do changes take effect?
Ask any vendor
•
Which file types and sizes are accepted, and how long until material is usable?
•
When my offer or pricing changes, how fast does the coach follow?
How Amotions answers
Admins add files and links in Organization settings, and anyone can add their own on their profile. PDF and Word files can be up to 50 MB; PowerPoint, text, Markdown, HTML and JSON up to 10 MB. Basic has unlimited documents and links. Monthly caps on scored call files depend on the plan.
Update the documents or playbook and new calls follow the updated material.
Does it learn on its own, and can it remember a prospect?
Ask any vendor
•
Does it learn from every call automatically, and how do I stop it picking up bad habits?
•
Does it remember earlier calls with the same prospect?
How Amotions answers
Live, it works from your playbook and the current conversation. After calls it learns from your Needs work ratings, marked call outcomes and patterns across calls. Your personal rules apply automatically; organization-wide rules wait for an admin to approve or reject them. It does not learn from calls on its own judgment.
Yes. Prospect memory is stored per prospect domain, so Amotions can connect new calls with that prospect to earlier ones.
How does it perform on a slow connection, and what if it stops?
Ask any vendor
•
Is the speed from real calls or a lab? What happens on a weak connection or outside the US?
•
If the tool stops responding, does it take my call down with it?
How Amotions answers
It is designed for typical internet connections, but speed depends on your connection quality and its latency to Amotions infrastructure. Test it on your own setup, ideally on a low-stakes call first.
The coach is a separate overlay, so it does not take down your meeting. If it stops responding, you can restart the coach on its own.
How accurate is it, and what about accents, crosstalk and emotion?
Ask any vendor
•
How often is a line wrong or off-topic, and can it invent a price or promise?
•
How does it handle accents, overlapping speakers and emotion?
How Amotions answers
Yes, it can. Suggestions are grounded in your uploaded wording and rules, and reps rate suggestions in the product so Amotions can improve them, but no AI is perfect. Verify prices, numbers and promises against your own material.
It handles a range of accents and calls with several speakers, but accuracy drops with poor audio, heavy overlapping speech and very strong accents. Clear audio gives the best results.
It reads vocal delivery signals together with the words and context, informed by the MSCEIT emotional intelligence framework, to tell a soft hesitation from a hard refusal. It is a useful signal for coaching, not a clinical measurement.
Which call tools does it work with, and will the prospect see it?
Ask any vendor
•
Does a bot join? Does it clash with my recorder, such as Fathom? Is it visible when I share my screen?
How Amotions answers
No. No bot joins the call, so Amotions AI should not conflict with Fathom or another recorder. Amotions can also provide a transcript and, when your organization turns audio recording on, an MP3 recording of coached calls, so you may not need a separate recorder.
Amotions is a private overlay and never joins as a bot. See the setup guide for platform details: https://amotionsinc.com/docs/getting-started
How are my data, deletion and recording consent handled?
Ask any vendor
•
Is my data used to train models for other customers? Can I delete it completely?
•
How are recording-consent laws handled?
How Amotions answers
Customer call transcripts, audio uploads and chat sessions are private to your organization and are never used to train third-party foundation AI models. Playbook personalization is applied at coaching time.
Yes, you can request complete deletion of your data. Raise retention and deletion requirements during your evaluation or through support, and Amotions handles requests in line with its Privacy Policy.
Recording off does not mean the coach stops processing call audio. Before using it, follow your organization’s disclosure policy and obtain any consent required where participants are located. A starting disclosure is: “I’m using an AI coaching tool on this call.” A disclosure alone is not a guarantee of valid consent; confirm your requirements before a live client call.
Not today. Amotions does not hold a SOC 2 report or ISO certificate and does not offer SSO. For healthcare, Amotions signs a Business Associate Agreement on request.
Nothing here is legal advice; confirm consent rules for the states and countries you call.
What does the trial cost, and how do I cancel or get help?
Ask any vendor
•
Is a card required? Is there a contract? How do I cancel, and how fast is support?
How Amotions answers
No. The free Basic plan needs no card. It includes every Professional feature except custom AI agents, with limited usage. It is a free plan, not a timed trial, and it does not expire.
There is no long-term contract on the published plans. You can cancel yourself from your account or by contacting support, and the standard plans have no cancellation fees.
Email [email protected]. Core hours are Monday to Friday, about 9 AM to 6 PM Pacific, and the target is a reply within one business day. Free Basic does not include priority evening coverage. Agree any special support arrangement separately before relying on it.
