Practice scenarios

Practice scenarios: rehearse any conversation out loud

Every scenario here is a conversation you can rehearse before it happens for real. Pick one, and an AI character plays the other side: an oral board chair, a furious customer, a judge, a landlord who will not fix the air conditioning, or an alien who takes everything literally. You talk out loud, or type if you would rather. The character listens to what you actually said and pushes back the way a real person in that seat would.

When the conversation ends you get a scorecard built for that situation. It gives you a score out of ten, a bar for each skill the scenario is judged on, your top priority, and one of your own lines with a better line you could have said. Then you can run the same scenario again and try the better line.

The scenarios are grouped by the part of life they come from. Each group page explains who its scenarios suit and where to start.

FAQ

Questions about practice scenarios

How is a ready-made scenario different from a practice mode?

A practice mode is the engine: an interview, a negotiation, a courtroom. A scenario is a ready-made setup on one of those modes, with the character, the situation and the goal already chosen, so you can start talking within seconds. Your own side, like your job title or your product, stays yours to fill in. Try it free →

Which scenario should I start with?

Start with the conversation you are most nervous about in the next few weeks. If nothing is coming up, pick one from Fun & viral: they are short, low-stakes and show you how the scorecard works before you practice something that matters. Try it free →

Are the characters real people?

No. Every character is made up for practice: the investors, the judges, the patients and the landlords are all fictional. Real public figures appear only in the separate Historical Figures mode, where they argue from their documented views. Try it free →
