USA

It was a fairly good negotiation but I feel like AI was asking for some very numerical and law things that I did not have on hand and I felt was complicating the negotiation. I feel that to emprove this prompt is to make AI more in the same negotiation level as me because it looked like in the negotiation that AI was negotiating against me with 10 pages of information about what the negotiation was about and I had a paragraphs worth so it looked very uneven in a fairness perspective.

Country selected: Japan

I liked how it gave the context for the negotiation on what was my goal on it, what is my company and some background on the other party, I believe more than 10 interactions are needed in order to generate more are of negotiation and trying new techniques for us. I also found great that we could pick a difficulty in order to practice in distinct levels of escenarios and combinations with the countries. Another suggestion is that the options on possible escenarios that we can choose I believe are limited and adding 2 or 3 more can give an more broad experience.

In general, I think the platform helped me understand and frame the situation accordingly, which helped me grasp my goals and strategy that would lead me to a positive solution to the negotiation. Additionally, it helped me adapt to a completely different culture, and the feedback allowed me identify the weak points that created tension during the negotiation so that I can avoid repeating them in the future. Overall, I think the experience helped me get an idea of how an intercultural negotiation might be like while following a structured guideline.

Country - Japan

General experience - It was a realistic and insightful negotiation practice. I learned the importance of patience, respect, and harmony when negotiating with Japanese counterparts, also the silence is not a lack of interest, it’s like a sign of reflection. Building trust gradually is more valued than closing a deal fast.

Suggestion - The prompt could include a short post meeting, such as writing a follow up email or summary, to make it even more realistic.

Japan

From my perspective, this negotiation went very well. I was able to clearly present my product and maintain a respectful and professional attitude throughout the meeting. I think I handled the cultural differences from Japan with patience, especially when my counterpart used silence and indirect communication. It helped me understand that in Japanese culture, taking time to think and avoiding direct confrontation are important signs of respect.

To improve this prompt I do believe more than 10 interactions are needed in order to get a better outcome, and also have a follow up at the end.

I think the negotiation ended a bit too quickly. Having a few more exchanges would allow me to try different tactics, especially after receiving feedback within the role-play itself. For example, after seeing his reaction to my direct style, I would have liked a chance to adjust my approach and try to save the discussion.

The option to choose the country and scenario was very useful. To make it even better, perhaps more specific industry scenarios could be added, like negotiating a joint venture or resolving a supply chain dispute. This would help practice applying these skills in different business contexts. Overall, it was a very insightful practice that highlighted the importance of cultural adaptation in real time.

Country: Brazil

I really liked how quick it started with the negotiation, while also informing me about my role and what i needed to keep in mind in every response. Also, i think i could've been more patient with the negotiation. What i would improve is the language response, i had to translate every response because it gave the responses in portuguese. But overall, i really liked the experience it gave me with the negotiation.

Selected Country: Brazil

General Experience: It was a great simulation. The AI represented and fully transformed into a Brazilian businesswoman and even incorporated Brazilian etiquette and idioms. It also adapted quickly and seamlessly to what I said, making the negotiation much more interesting.I did reach to an agreement with the AI. After the negotiation, it provided feedback on strengths, results, and areas to improve; which is very insightful to me. I would not modify or improve the prompt received, as I think the AI interpreted it and followed the instructions perfectly.

Counterpart: Madame Claire Lefèvre, TechMaison Paris

For this activity, I used ChatGPT (GPT-5) to simulate a negotiation with a French counterpart. The experience felt surprisingly real and professional, as I had to balance being polite, assertive, and logical while solving a delivery issue. It gave me a clear sense of how French professionals tend to value structure, precision, and confident communication instead of emotional arguments. Even though it was a bit challenging at first, I really liked how the simulation let me try different strategies and instantly see how they worked. For next time, I think it could be even better if the prompt added some time pressure or unexpected situations to test how we react and adapt under stress.

Japan

It was good as chat gave me the context of how the Japanese behave and decode messages, it helped me set a tone to negotiate and also present my concerns. I believe that with the Japanese prompt I was reflective on how to dress the other person or how to counteroffer but it was good overall.

Country: Germany

i enjoyed this activity a lot, its a different approach to practice negotiation scenarios. one think that happened with deepseek.com the site that i used, is that it explains they way the the AI responds you, which for this excercise ,it gave me some clues on the response was made. the feedback stated that germans use a low complex communication style and the i should adapt my speaking style to avoid misunderstanging. I have no suggestions for improvement within the prompt. Good excercise

- I selected Brazil

My general experience was good. This AI answered to everything I said in a coherent way, there was not a dialogue I felt had nothing to do with what I was saying which helped have a smooth negotiation process. The dialogue felt realistic too with the Brazilian culture. I felt it was easy to adjust to the culture as the AI was telling me some things about what Brazilians value and asked me how I could offer it, it really gave me space to think about how I could adjust instead of just getting immediately rejected for not meeting their standards at first. It helped me have a taste of what it's like talking with someone from another culture in terms of negotiations in a quick and accesable way. I would make it last longer tho, I feel we barely had a proper talk about what the deal is about, ended too soon.

Mexico vs China

I had a great negotiating experience, and got most of the goals that I set. I think that overall it is a great way of practicing negotiation cases with different cultures and getting personalized feedback of it. I like how the AI recreated the scenario and followed the roleplay. However, as this is only made via text, it leaves behind other factors like gestures or nonverbal cues that are crucial during a negotiation.

Country: South Korea

General experience: In this negotiation with Mr. Park from South Korea, I learned that respect, patience, and formality are essential to building trust. I kept a polite and cooperative tone, focusing on a long-term relationship instead of rushing to close the deal. When he asked to lower the price, I offered extra benefits instead, which showed flexibility and helped maintain harmony.

This experience taught me that Korean negotiators value indirect communication, collective decisions, and mutual trust. Overall, I felt that adapting my communication style and showing genuine respect made the negotiation more effective and culturally appropriate.

I used ChatGPT. The experience was formal, logical, and very focused on evidence. I realized how different communication styles can shape the entire process.

As for improving the prompt, I would suggest adding a short briefing on the cultural expectations before starting the role play, just a few bullet points about the style of communication, preferred structure, and what to avoid.

Country Selected: Australia

Experience: I liked how the AI was describe every step my counterpart did, it was very clear, the prompt was very clear, since it worked perfectly for me, it give me a really good feedback since i also noticed the same flaws that i had in the middle of the negotiation. So overall it was really good, and it was a really good exercise

Perplexity

After finishing this activity I really enjoy it because its something different and its the most closest I have been to negotiate with a Japanese person right now , probably the result I got was not what I expected but it help me to have a better knowledge of how Japanese negotiate considering they are one of the best negotiators in this world , what I think I didn't perform right was on doing the negotiation a little bit faster , In Japanese business negotiations harmony and patience is very important, and communication tends to be indirect and formal. A consideration I would use next time when I negotiate with a Japanese might be considering starting with a concise, respectful greeting and a little introduction of my service

I likes that at the end it gave me feedback of what I did correct and what I can modify to have better results.

It was a great experience.

Country - Germany

At first, the AI negotiator was highly disapproving of my pitch, as it included a lot of information but lacked concrete data such as numbers and case studies to justify my pricing strategy. The model’s initial response came across as quite condescending, and I pointed out that if it truly wanted to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, it should avoid that kind of tone. This was a major risk, as a German businessman would likely not appreciate such a remark and could have walked away. Fortunately, the risk paid off, the model apologized, and from that point on the negotiation flowed smoothly. All I needed to do was provide real-world data from the internet to appeal to the German model’s fact and statistics-based mindset. I did not concede anything; instead, I added the training valued at 5,000 USD while keeping the total price at my goal of 85,000 over a three-year period. The only clause on his side was a renegotiation option after the first year if savings fell below 5 percent, which was highly unlikely.
