What Kulissa is

Kulissa has two sides on one harness. Practice SaaS: Playbook in. Live AI buyer out. Scored debrief after. Managers see who is ready before the deal pays for the lesson. Omnichannel Agent Sphere: She is your sales coach agent - a Boardy for revenue - with a team of AI buyers that talk like real customers on the channels people already live in: WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Teams, Google Meet, and more. They book. They follow up. They keep the pipeline warm.

Maya. Your omnichannel sales coach. Hard buyer on the homepage. Sales coach for the field. Same nerve. Maya brings a crew of AI buyers who interrupt, object, and chase like the real ones. Practice in the SaaS. Then let her sphere meet prospects where they already are - chat, social, meetings - without asking your reps to become another inbox.

Practice sessions are transcribed and scored against the customer's own methodology, with evidence quoted from the transcript. Scenarios come from the customer's playbooks. Managers get readiness by person, cohort and assignment. Nothing to install for practice: a browser and a microphone.

What Kulissa is not

• Not a conversation-intelligence recorder that joins live customer calls (Gong-class). Kulissa is rehearsal before the call.
• Not a consumer language-learning app (ELSA/Praktika-class).
• Not a public self-serve catalog. The Maya challenge is a public product rehearsal; team access is custom enterprise.
• Not an employment-decision system. Practice scores are coaching tools.

Commercial model

Custom enterprise engagements sized to usage and team needs. Quoted with you; no public price list.

• Teams and markets: How many people practice, which markets you sell in, and whether rollouts span regions or lines of business. Language reach rides our OpenAI and Google voice stacks.
• Practice usage: How often the team rehearses: sessions, scenario generation and assistant work, sized as an AI credit allowance.
• Playbook depth: How much of your methodology, product knowledge and objection library we turn into live AI buyers.
• Security and procurement: DPA, questionnaires, SSO, regions and the review depth your legal and security teams need.

Language reach

Kulissa runs on OpenAI and Google voice agents. Those stacks already cover dozens of languages. We ship with English, French and German tuned for sales practice, and we open more markets as your motion needs them - without rebuilding the product around a fixed language list.
