Our story

Built for anyone who wants to get better.

Not just companies with the budget for expensive corporate training. But rather for people with a salary or business deal negotiation next week who've never had the chance to practise.

The Arodly Team

Kia ora,

I'm Peter, the founder of Arodly. We're a negotiation practice platform based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Negotiation is one of the most important skills in business and in life, with little room for error when it counts. Arodly gives you a safe space to practise negotiation, sharpen your skills, and build real confidence before your next salary negotiation, sales call, or big deal, all without any real-world risk.

If you've got any feedback, we'd genuinely love to hear from you. Just click Contact Us below.

Why we built Arodly

Negotiation is one of the most consequential skills you can develop. It shapes your salary, your deals, your relationships, and the direction of your career. And yet, for most people, the only place to actually practise it is in the real thing, where the stakes are highest and mistakes cost the most.

Corporate training exists, but it costs a lot per person and is built for teams with big budgets. Solo learning apps exist too, but they hand you scripts and chatbots with nothing real on the line. Neither builds the skill the way genuinely doing it does.

Our mission is simple: make negotiation practice accessible to everyone, not just people with a corporate training budget. We want you to walk into your next salary conversation, sales call, or big decision able to advocate for yourself with confidence, because you've already done it, safely, many times before it mattered.

Arodly gives you a place to practise negotiation against a serious AI opponent or real people, get scored on how you actually performed, and build the skill the same way every other competitive skill is built: one match at a time.

What Arodly is

A practice platform — Structured negotiation scenarios across salary, buying & selling, business deals, conflict resolution, and creative scenarios. Each with a private brief, your secret goal, that mirrors how real negotiations actually work.
A real opponent — An AI opponent that reacts like a real person: six distinct personalities across three difficulty levels. At Advanced it bluffs, creates false urgency, and holds firm on weak arguments. Or match against a real person of similar rank.
A feedback loop — Every match ends with a full AI debrief, scored across five parameters, key turning points identified, bluff analysis, card usage review, and specific coaching for next time. You see exactly what you did and what to change.
A community — Public profiles, leaderboards, clubs, and a follow system. Your rank is earned in live competition, not self-reported. That's what makes it mean something.

What we believe

Skills are built through reps

Reading about negotiation doesn't make you a better negotiator. Doing it does. Every match is a rep. Every debrief is a lesson.

Feedback has to be honest

A score that flatters you doesn't help you improve. Arodly tells you what actually happened, not what you want to hear.

Pressure makes it real

Without something on the line — a timer, an opponent who pushes back, a score — practice doesn't transfer. Arodly keeps it real.

This should be accessible

The skills corporate teams pay $1,500+ to learn should be available to anyone willing to put in the work. That's the whole point.
