I built an app to practice difficult, real-life conversations out loud with AI (interviews, boundary setting, conflicts) and need your brutal feedback.
Hey everyone,
So for the past month i've been building an app because honestly, reading communication tips is great but nothing beats actually saying the words out loud under pressure.
I finally got a working version and wanted to get some brutal feedback from this community before putting it on app stores. The app is called Speechy AI.
The basic idea: You pick a high-stakes scenario (job interview, asking someone out, salary negotiation, or arguing with a roommate) and you have a real-time voice conversation with an AI playing the other character.
To make it realistic, the AI characters are specifically prompted to resist and push back, so they don’t just agree with everything you say. After the session ends, you get scored on clarity, confidence, and delivery with actual feedback. Right now there's about 50 scenarios.
I know people will ask "why not just use ChatGPT voice or Gemini Live?" Those are cool tools but they are just general AI. They break character after 3-4 turns if you put pressure on them, they're always too "polite", and they don't give you a scorecard or track progress. This is built specifically for practice.
Would love your thoughts on a few things:
- Does this concept make sense or does practicing with AI feel too fake?
- What scenario would you actually use this for? (salary negotiation, dating, boundaries?)
- Is it better to have 50 standard scenarios, or just 10 really deep ones with branching paths and different difficulty levels?
- Pricing thoughts: people usually need this when an event is coming up (interview next week). Does a monthly subscription make sense, or would one-time unlocks / 7-day packs work better?
Genuinely trying to see if this solves a real problem for people. No links or promo here, just want to know what you think. Happy to share some screenshots in the comments if anyone wants to see.
Thanks!
