Practice speaking up at work — with AI

Rehearse raising an issue with a busy manager. Voice-based AI role-play against an opponent who pushes back — with a scorecard when you finish.

Speaking up

Okay, but what specifically?

Busy boss with little patience for vague concerns. Practice raising issues with specificity.

What you practice

Raising a concern with a busy manager is easy to put off and easy to fumble — you get thirty seconds, and vague worries get waved away. Practice mode lets you rehearse it first, out loud, against Pia: a time-pressed boss with little patience for anything fuzzy. It's live voice role-play, not a text thread — you talk, she answers on the spot. Before you start you set your goal — the specific thing you want her to do about the issue — and choose how hard Pia pushes back, from calm to hyper-defensive. She'll cut you off, ask what exactly you mean, and lose interest the moment you generalise. Turning a fuzzy frustration into one concrete ask, fast, is the entire exercise. Afterwards, Talklet gives you a communication scorecard: where you were specific, where you went vague, and the points worth sharpening. Your words aren't recorded, and the live transcript is erased the moment your scorecard is written. Rehearse until you can raise the issue in one clear sentence — and make it land.
