Would you use an app that analyzes how you sound in arguments?
Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an idea and wanted some honest feedback.
The concept is basically a mix between a debate game and a speech coach.
You pick a topic (or create your own), then argue either with a friend or with AI. Each person speaks in turns, and the app listens to everything.
After the debate, it breaks down how you actually sounded — not just what you said, but things like:
• how confident your voice was
• how persuasive your arguments were
• how often you used filler words (uh, um, etc.)
• whether you lost control under pressure
Then it gives you scores + feedback like:
“you sounded unsure here”
“your argument lacked structure”
“you used too many fillers which reduced authority”
There’s also different modes like:
• “CEO style” (short, decisive, clear)
• “Lawyer style” (logic, structure, rebuttals)
• etc.
So it’s kind of like training to become better at speaking, arguing, and sounding more confident — but in a competitive/game-like format.
The idea came from realizing that most people don’t actually know how they come across when they speak.
Would you use something like this?
What would make it actually useful (or not cringe)?
