For job interviews and professional meetings. Upload your CV and add notes about your experience. TalkBuoy listens to the interviewer's questions and suggests 2-3 tailored answers that reference your real skills and background. Use voice calibration so it only responds to the interviewer, not you.

Rehearse a real interview with an AI interviewer. Enter the job role (and optionally upload your CV) and the AI runs a proper interview — opening with "tell me about yourself", asking follow-ups, and giving you short coaching feedback after each answer. Speak your answers out loud, tap when you're done, and it asks the next question. Skip or end the interview anytime.

For audience questions after a talk or presentation. Paste your speaker notes or slides summary. When someone asks a question, TalkBuoy suggests answers based on your material - including a diplomatic option for tricky questions. It can also search the web if a question needs current data.

For podcast appearances, panels, and media interviews. Add your bio and talking points. TalkBuoy suggests conversational, story-driven answers - one with an anecdote, one direct, and one quotable. Keeps you sounding natural and prepared without a script.

For everyday chats, networking events, or any situation where you want backup. No prep needed - just start listening. TalkBuoy suggests casual, natural responses with varied tones: warm, light-hearted, or thoughtful. Great for social situations or when speaking in a second language.

Practise speaking a new language with an AI conversation partner. Pick your target language (including English as a second language — native English speakers and English learners both welcome) and your level, and the AI chats with you out loud as a friendly native speaker, gives gentle feedback in your own language, and teaches phrases on demand — ask "give me 5 useful restaurant phrases" and it teaches them, then immediately role-plays the scenario so you actually use them. Supports 19 target languages.

For studying and exam prep. Paste your notes or study material. Say "quiz me" and TalkBuoy asks you questions from your notes, marks your answers, and explains what you got wrong. Say "read" or "tell me about [topic]" to have it summarise sections. Skip voice calibration in this mode so TalkBuoy hears you and you can talk to it directly - it becomes a hands-free study partner.

For tournament prep, public speaking practice, or stress-testing your own arguments. Pick a topic and your stance. The AI takes the opposite side and argues with you turn by turn — making real counter-arguments, attacking your weak points, and asking probing questions. Tap to start your turn, speak your argument, tap again when done, and the AI will counter-argue. Repeat until you've drilled it.

For real debates, panels, or any heated argument where you need fast comeback ideas. Set the topic and your stance, calibrate your voice so TalkBuoy ignores you, and it'll listen to the opponent. When they make a point, 2-3 tailored rebuttals appear on screen — read silently, or hear them through your earbuds. It will name the fallacy when the opponent commits an obvious one (straw man, false dichotomy, etc.).

Sessions per rolling 7 days, with a quiet "best week ever" badge when you beat it. No flame, no streak guilt — just a soft pull-toward rhythm. The tracker reframes around your next real event when you've added one, so the number on screen ties to something that actually matters.

Add a real interview, exam, debate, trip or hard conversation that's coming up. TalkBuoy pings you 3 days, 1 day, and 1 hour beforehand with a one-tap rehearsal pre-loaded with the right mode and your event context. Afterwards it asks how it actually went, and feeds your answer into future rehearsals.

Pre-built 5-7 day rehearsal arcs that fight the "what should I practise today?" paralysis. Eight to choose from: Interview, Pre-Trip Language, Debate, Negotiation, Difficult Conversations, Public Speaking, Conversation Confidence, and Medical School Interview Prep. One focused 5-minute lesson a day — the boot camp ticks itself forward as you go.

Tap a button on the home screen, speak a quick thought ("remember to bring up the cost-benefit framing in Tuesday's interview"), and TalkBuoy transcribes it automatically into your own organised voice-notes dashboard — with search, tags, and pinning. Three free for trial users so you can feel it before deciding — unlimited on Student, Pro, or Plus.

Set up your profile once — role / situation, industry, weak spots, communication style — and TalkBuoy carries that context into every session across every mode. Rehearsals feel like working with someone who actually knows you, not a fresh chatbot every time.

End any session and get a quick debrief: a one-line headline, what went well, what to work on next time, and a flashcard recap quiz pulled from the actual session content. Your progress dashboard rolls all your sessions into a single view over time. Stats are free; the AI debrief is a Pro/Plus perk.

Turn on push notifications (or stick to email) and TalkBuoy will nudge you at the moments that actually matter: when an upcoming event is approaching, when your rehearsal week is about to slip, when you haven't checked in for a while. One tap to enable, one tap to silence.
