I built an app that lets you practice difficult conversations before they actually happen

Hey everyone,

I built an app called Smooth Operator. It's been a solo project for a while now and it just went live on both iOS and Android.

The idea came from a simple problem. I'd walk out of important conversations knowing I could have said things better. Negotiations, confrontations, even just saying no to someone. I always knew what I should have said but only after the fact.

So I built a conversation simulator. You pick a scenario and an AI plays the other person. They push back, they get difficult, they react like someone actually would. But the part that makes it different is there's a second AI watching the conversation and coaching you in real time. It tells you things like you gave in too quickly there, or that came across too aggressive, try saying it this way instead. So your very next message is already better.

Some of the scenarios people have been using it for:

• Negotiating a raise or a job offer
• Practicing cold sales calls
• Having a difficult conversation with a partner or family member
• Setting boundaries at work or in personal relationships
• Preparing for job interviews

A few things about how it works:

• Two modes. One where the AI evaluates what you said and suggests alternatives. Another where it coaches you in real time as the conversation happens.
• Text and audio. You can type or talk.
• You get scored across 9 conversation dimensions with an overall Smoothness Score so you can track how you're improving.

Free to try with one conversation a week. Monthly and annual plans if you want unlimited practice.
