Why Narraid exists

The person who decides the sale is the one nobody manages to reach.

In multi-brand retail and hospitality, the last conversation before a purchase is with a member of staff representing hundreds of brands, often in their second or third language, who may never have been told the story of the product in their hand.

01

Reach

Field trainers cover the flagships. The long tail of doors sees someone once or twice a year, if at all.

02

Recency

Turnover outruns the training calendar. By the next visit, much of the team has changed.

03

Language

A session held in English rarely survives the next shift on a floor that speaks twenty languages.

04

Format

Every brand arrives in its own portal, PDF, video or session. Nothing lands in one place.

Why it is worth solving

Staff knowledge is the last marketing channel before the till.

Independent market research quantifies how much of the purchase decision is still made in the final conversation on the floor.

How it works

Share it once. It reaches every frontline team.

Brands already have the material. It just never reaches the floor in a usable form. Narraid treats this as a distribution problem, not a training one.

1

You share

Guidelines, product sheets, launch decks — the material you already have.

2

Narraid creates

Our AI writes a new native script per language, produced as a two-voice conversation, with a quiz.

3

You approve

You hear every language version and sign it off before anything goes live.

4

Teams listen — and you see it

Staff listen in the Narraid app; you follow listening, completion and quiz results on the dashboard.

Brand knowledge is where most partners start. The same format also carries cultural knowledge, service skills and an operator’s own priorities, for any workforce spread across sites and shifts.

Learning by listening

Reading and watching take time out of the day. Listening fits into it.

Frontline teams already listen to hours of audio every week. Narraid puts the brand into a habit they already have — on the commute, on a break, on the walk in from the station.

In the gaps of the day

Eyes and hands stay free. Nobody comes off the floor to learn.

Two voices, one story

A natural conversation, not a voice reading out a brochure.

In the language they think in

Written natively per language and market, never translated word for word.

Built to be finished

Episodes of a few minutes, a quiz after each one, badges and streaks.

Adds to physical training

With groundwork and refreshers in the app, trainers reach more doors in person, not fewer.

Hear it

One episode. Twelve languages.

Press play and the same episode moves through twelve languages — or pick one.

Each language gets its own script, written natively for that audience rather than translated, and read as a natural conversation. Sample: a Narraid showcase episode on the origins of Christmas traditions, about 75 seconds in total.

The platform

An app for the floor. A dashboard for the office.

Two connected products: the Narraid app on iPhone and Android, and the partner dashboard where brands and operators see who listened, what was completed and how brand knowledge is tracking.

Built to be finished

Episodes of a few minutes, a quiz after each one, badges, streaks and a live transcript. Progress stays with the person when they change store or employer.
