Show HN: Practice actual work conversations (with LLM based feedback)

Hey all -

We’ve been working on Prep Coach over the last few months. Here’s the problem we saw: we would run into situations at work where we need to have a “tough” conversation (e.g. giving constructive feedback to a colleague or manager, asking for a raise, etc).

One thing we’ve found we do is kind of “talk to ourselves”; prepare in our heads how we’ll handle certain questions, or phrasings.

So we wanted to build a product that lets us actually _talk out loud_ while it’s recorded, and then have the product give us feedback on what we’ve said.

That’s what Prep Coach is: you choose a Scenario, and it’ll present you with some prompts. You then record a response. Prep Coach will then take all your responses, process them, and then give you actionable feedback (e.g. “Be more specific when you talk about XX” or “This was great, but you went off track a bit related to the topic”).

This is our first version, but we’d love for you to try it out and send over some feedback.

In my experience rehearsing what you are going to say is fatal. Be sure of what you want to achieve and what your position on it is. "Sorry, it's just that we heard my wife has only months to live". Did you rehearse that? Mostly conversations go a route you couldn't even imagine. Learning to be nimble is better.

Very polished UX. The questions are good, one thing I've noticed is regardless of the voice recording, the questions keep coming, maybe a good feature would be to get more clarity on the question asked if the answer isn't exactly right. Would also love to see the transcription of the things I am saying as I am saying it.
