I built an AI simulator for the conversations people avoid

Description and use

An AI simulator lets users rehearse high‑stakes conversations with realistic pushback, rewind critical moments, and receive concrete feedback to build confidence.

Problem

Hard, high‑stakes conversations are practiced only in the mind, leading to anxiety and poor performance.

Outcome

Users gain confidence and concrete strategies for high‑stakes conversations by practicing with realistic AI personas and receiving actionable feedback.

Workflow

• Select a scenario (e.g., salary negotiation, feedback, breakup, resignation).
• Choose a persona that will push back.
• Engage in the conversation via text or voice.
• If the conversation goes sideways, rewind to the problematic moment and retry.
• Read the evaluation that identifies specific moves and adjust accordingly. Repeat until satisfied.

Evidence

The AI doesn't roleplay a pushover — it pushes back, interrupts, gets defensive, and responds like an actual person would.

Source

Rewind is the feature. Live conversations don't have undo. That's exactly why practice should.

Source

Feedback has to be concrete. "You did great!" is worthless.
