# Negotiate a better deal after a practice round with AI

> You practice saying your walk-away number out loud until it stops feeling awkward.

Before you haggle over a car, a rent renewal or a contractor's price, AI plays the other side for about six rounds with your real numbers. It hints outside the scene and coaches you at the end.

```text
Set up a negotiation practice for me. The real situation: [THE DEAL, e.g. buying a used SUV from a dealer]. My target: [YOUR TARGET]. My walk-away point: [WALK-AWAY POINT]. My best alternative if this falls through: [YOUR BACKUP OPTION]. Play the other side realistically, with your own goals and pressure tactics. Go back and forth with me for about six turns. If I'm missing something, give me a short hint in parentheses outside the scene. If I'm doing well, raise the stakes. Then push me to a final yes or no. Afterward, give me one thing I did well, one thing to improve and two tips for the real negotiation.
```
