Lira helps you rehearse conversations before they matter. Choose a scenario, speak with an AI counterpart in your browser, and review feedback grounded in your conversation.

## Your practice loop

1. **Choose a scenario.** Explore the scenarios available in your workspace. Assigned scenarios appear prominently, alongside other opportunities to practice.
2. **Read the brief.** Understand your counterpart, the situation, your goal, and the scoring rubric.
3. **Have the conversation.** Check your microphone, start the call, and practice in your own words.
4. **Pick one thing to improve.** Review the available feedback, replay useful moments, and try again.

A scenario is a simulation. Agreeing to a meeting or next step during a practice call does not book a real meeting or contact a customer.

## Find your way around

| Area | What you can do |
| --- | --- |
| Scenarios | Browse scenarios and open your assigned challenges. |
| Progress | Return to your attempts and available feedback. |
| Certificates | View the credentials you have earned. |
| Leaderboard | See qualifying submitted results, when your workspace enables rankings. |
| My prep | Prepare privately for a particular meeting, when available in your workspace. |

Managers and admins have additional controls for creating scenarios, assigning training, and reviewing results they are authorized to see. Your workspace role determines which controls appear.



> **Practice and sharing are separate**
> 
> Practicing does not automatically submit your conversation to a manager. Workspace privacy settings determine what is retained and which sharing options are available. Earning a certificate does not require publishing it.
