HardTalk

HardTalk is an AI-assisted mobile + web app that helps people rehearse difficult conversations (breakups, performance feedback, salary negotiations, boundary setting) with realistic pushback. You pick a scenario, describe the other person’s personality and your goal, and the app generates a short plan: opening line, key points, likely objections, and safe exit phrases. Then you role-play via voice or chat with an AI “counterpart” that can be calm, defensive, manipulative, or avoidant—because real life isn’t polite. After the rehearsal, you get a blunt debrief: where you rambled, where you escalated, what you avoided, and 2–3 alternative phrases that keep the message intact. It also includes a “one-screen” conversation card you can glance at during the real talk. This is not therapy; it’s rehearsal and scripting for high-stakes moments.
