Yoodli: Become An Ultra-Effective Communicator With AI

-CONTENT PRODUCTION-

When I first started creating video content, I thought I’d be most worried about my editing chops.

But after filming my first video?

Nope - I was way more concerned about how I communicated.

I sounded flat, used plenty of filler words, and spoke too fast.

Poor communication and delivery can destroy a good piece of content.

I found a tool that can help.

Yoodli is a free AI tool that gives you personalized communication coaching.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have to say it has some clear use cases for content creators.

How It Works 💪 

It first connects to your camera and/or microphone.

Then, it films and records you speaking.

Finally, it gives you a personalized analysis of your visual and verbal delivery (with a transcript to boot).

Here are the main features of its analysis:

• It summarizes the key points you made

• Number of filler words

• “Weak” words

• Alternative ways of saying things

• Use of pauses

• Loudness

• Pacing and pacing variation

Getting Started 👇️ 

1. Go to https://app.yoodli.ai/

Set up a free account.

2. Enter the speech analysis section

Click “Practice” then “Speech”.

Give Chrome access to your camera and/or microphone.

I often like to leave my camera disconnected and just have my speech analyzed.

3. Record yourself speaking

Click record - there’s no time limit as far as I’m aware.

Once you’re done, click stop and wait for Yoodli to generate your analysis.

4. Go through your analysis

It’ll give you a transcript - very cool but not always as accurate as I would like.

The “Speaking Insights” that crop up as a sidebar on the right are way more useful.

The analysis is split into “Coaching” and “Analytics”.

Coaching summarizes the key points of what you said and gives you a few suggestions for alternative phrasing.

Analytics is where the magic happens:

• Word choice - It tells you what percentage of your words were filler words (eg. uhms and ahs) and “weak” words.

• Delivery - A breakdown of your volume and pacing. Too fast/slow or too quiet/loud → Yoodli will let you know.

Limitations 👎️ 

• The transcript - as mentioned earlier, it isn’t always accurate. But as we’re using this tool to analyze how we’re speaking as opposed to what we’re saying, this doesn’t really matter.

• While this isn’t really a limitation (yet), I can’t imagine this tool being free forever. It’s definitely worth making the most of it for now.

Use Cases For Content Creators ⚒️ 

🎙️ Podcasters: Improve speaking skills and delivery.

🎥 YouTubers: Enhance on-camera presence and communication skills for more polished and professional videos.

💼 Businesses/Content Marketers: Create more engaging and effective video content → increased brand awareness, customer engagement, and sales.
