Press the mic (or spacebar) to talk. Real-time AI responses with natural speech synthesis.

Scenario library

Job interviews, presentations, HR meetings, language drills — or write your own scenarios.

Practice packs

Transcripts & analysis

Every session is saved with a transcript and optional AI feedback you can review later.

Bring your own AI
