From existing calls

Use a real sales call to build the most accurate simulation. Outdoo automatically extracts buyer personality, objections, tone, and communication patterns from the recording. Ideal for SDR cold call reviews, AE discovery calls, pricing conversations, and customer success renewals.

From prompt

Write a short description including the persona details, company, mindset, and call context. Outdoo generates a complete agent with persona traits, objections, emotional tone, and conversation style. The fastest way to create a new agent.

From file or resource

Attach product documentation, a pricing guide, a sales playbook, or any other document from your Resources library. The agent uses the content to stay accurate on facts and align to your specific messaging.

Variations and cloning

Once you have an agent that works, you do not need to build from scratch for every variation. Use Variations to generate new personas, scenarios, or voice styles from an existing agent. Use Clone to take the same buyer persona into a different sales stage — discovery, demo, pricing, negotiation — updating the objections and scorecard for each context.

Organising your agents

Folders help you group agents by product line, skill area, learning path, or cohort. You can share entire folders with your team or attach them to Courses and Call Blitz sessions.
