A rep is a timed conversation, out loud, with someone who can lose interest, get distracted and say no. You are scored on how you talked — never on whether it worked. A clean rep that ends in rejection can score 92. The same engine runs practice job interviews, with one free round on every account.
Sign-up includes a voice rep. No card.
Six dimensions, every rep, each one quoting your own words back at you. Whether she gave you a number, agreed to anything, or walked away contributes exactly zero. A sloppy rep that got lucky scores 54.
Warmth finished at 58 and she was never armed. None of that is in the number.
Did you start it at all.
Did you go past her first answer.
Did you use what she gave you.
Did you read her, and adjust.
Did you stay steady when it wobbled.
Did you leave well, including on a no.
The simulator is where you can afford to be bad at this. The point of being good at it is out there, so every rep hands you something small to do in the real world and asks you to log what actually happened.
Three minutes, real time, real interruptions. She has her own reason for being there and it is not you.
Six dimensions, the two you were weakest on, and one thing you did well — named first, quoting you.
A challenge graded to where you are. Nothing at any tier depends on somebody saying yes.
How nervous you expected to be, then how nervous you were. The gap is the chart everything builds toward.
Every challenge is written by hand and reviewed before it ships, against one test: the worst realistic outcome is a polite no.
Each one holds a rung. They are not difficulty settings with the same script — they want different things, they run out of patience differently, and the top rung takes the warmth number off your screen so you have to read a person instead of a meter.
Warm and completely straight with you. She knows nothing about art and says so, and she has decided to find one thing in here she actually likes before she leaves.
Dry, quiet, half-distracted, and in a good mood that has nothing to do with you. She is easy to talk to and very hard to lose.
An interviewer who has read your CV and the job description, asks what you actually know rather than only what you did, and comes back with a graded scorecard. Ten to twenty-five minutes, four interviewers, five round types — and the same rule as everywhere else: you are scored on how you handled it, never on whether you got the job.
Upload it once and the questions are about your work. Skip it and the round still runs on the role, the field and the job description.
A technical round mines a project for the fundamental underneath it. A system design round does not touch your CV at all.
Structure, specificity, listening, composure, signal reading, the questions you asked back — and technical accuracy, which abstains rather than guess.
Every account gets one free five-minute recruiter screen. It is the real thing, not a demo — the same interviewer, the same grading, five minutes instead of twenty. After that, interviews are bought by the interview rather than by the month — see pricing.
Text mode runs the same characters with no microphone and no quota. It exists because a limit that breaks your streak is a limit that makes people quit, and some nights the answer to “can you talk out loud right now” is no.
Still no luck with the present, if you were wondering.
Did you try the embarrassing shelf?
I did. I bought two. One is for me.
Deliberately the lesser thing: warmth in text is capped below the point a rep can be won, so it cannot produce the ending a voice rep can. That is enforced in code, not in a note.
Four of these, and all four are load-bearing. They decide what gets built as much as they decide what gets said.
Your first character walks you through it. After that the words are yours — doing the frightening part on your behalf builds nothing.
Characters are equipment. They do not miss you, and every session has a hard time limit.
No clinical claims anywhere in the product. Practice alongside a clinician, never instead of one.
Bounded at PG-13. Characters decline rather than play along, and the bound is not ours to waive.
Read the whole position on safety and scope — including what happens if a session goes somewhere that is no longer training.
Field work, text mode, your log and your streak are unlimited on every plan, including the free one, forever. What you pay for is voice minutes against a live character — the only part of this that costs anything to run.
For a voice rep, yes — that is the entire exercise, and it is the part no amount of reading fixes. There is also a text mode running the same characters with no microphone and no quota, for the evenings when speaking is not on. It cannot produce the ending a voice rep can, on purpose.
Session audio is stored in a private bucket that only your account can read, and it is deleted automatically thirty days after the rep. Transcripts and scores stay, because that is what progress is made of. Ask us and the audio goes sooner.
One line each, and only about the encounter — the book she could not find, where she was going. Never about how you did and never about wanting to see you again. You can clear every line in one tap.
The field challenge is still there and still free, on every plan, forever, and so are text mode, your log and your history. Running out of voice minutes never breaks a streak, because a paywall that is also a churn event is a badly designed paywall.
Dating is the sharpest wedge and it is where the roster starts, but the skill underneath — starting a conversation, reading whether it is welcome, leaving well — is the same one interviews and hard conversations at work need. The interview track is open: four interviewers, your own CV and job description, and a graded round. Every account gets one free five-minute screen to try it.
No. Nothing in the challenge library asks you to persist past a refusal, and the scorecard rewards reading a no correctly and leaving warmly. A rep where you push scores worse, not better.
You will probably be bad at it. That is the entire reason the simulator exists, and it is the last time being bad at it costs you nothing.
Start training freeWarm, dry, and slightly guarded. She will keep this going while it is worth having and let it end when it is not.
Unfailingly polite and almost impossible to read. Whether she is interested is a question she will not answer either way.
A tier opens when you score 70 or better in two reps at the tier below it. Not when you win two — winning is not a thing you can grind, and it is not the thing being measured.
