No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [bigtincan.com](https://bigtincan.com) · entry id 11-bigtincan-readiness · source 11-enablement-coaching.md line 197 **What it does** Revenue enablement platform (Bigtincan acquired Brainshark in 2021 and folded it in as "Bigtincan Readiness") spanning content management, on-demand training/coaching, and AI-driven practice. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Vendor names a full AI suite - RolePlayAI (dynamic practice), CoachingAI, AuthoringAI, Genie Assistant, MeetingsAI, and SearchAI - plus AI text-to-image, text-to-speech, and text generation for content creation. RolePlayAI/CoachingAI are the genuinely conversational-practice pieces; AuthoringAI/SearchAI are closer to content-generation and retrieval automation. No independent technical detail on RolePlayAI's persona dynamics (scripted vs. adaptive) was found to confirm the vendor's claim. **RevOps role** Combined content-management-plus-practice enablement suite; Brainshark's legacy strength (video-based pitch practice/coaching) is now one module inside the broader Bigtincan platform. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: No MCP found - **Auth**: n/a - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: none-found mcp_url, verbatim from the file: n/a **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Gate unknown - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not established api_gate, verbatim from the file: unknown - no public self-serve pricing found for either the Bigtincan platform generally or Brainshark/Readiness specifically; sales-led motion. 83 of 293 entries carry an unknown gate. Unknown is a legal answer and it ships as unknown rather than as a guess. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Retrieve sales content](../jobs/retrieve-sales-content.md) - [Score rep performance](../jobs/score-rep-performance.md) - [Run a sales roleplay practice](../jobs/run-sales-roleplay-practice.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.bigtincan.com/pricing/](https://www.bigtincan.com/pricing/) - [https://www.g2.com/products/bigtincan-readiness-formerly-brainshark/reviews](https://www.g2.com/products/bigtincan-readiness-formerly-brainshark/reviews) - [https://tomba.io/blog/bigtincan-brainshark-pricing-reviews-pros-and-cons](https://tomba.io/blog/bigtincan-brainshark-pricing-reviews-pros-and-cons) 3 source URLs.

Brainshark is not sold as a separate product anymore - it is the "Readiness" module of Bigtincan since the 2021 acquisition, so it is covered as one entry rather than two. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 11-bigtincan-readiness - **Source file**: 11-enablement-coaching.md - **Source line**: 197 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
