Public speaking is the most practiced skill in the world — and the least realistic to practice. You can rehearse in front of a mirror. You can record yourself. But nothing prepares you for the moment a sharp investor cuts you off mid-sentence, or a skeptical customer challenges your numbers in front of a room. Rehearse fixes that. Pick your judges — Elon, a ruthless VC, a skeptical customer, whoever scares you most. Choose how hard you want to be pushed. Then pitch. They'll interrupt, challenge, and push back in their real voices using ElevenLabs Conversational AI. Every session runs on its own Cloudflare Durable Object — persistent, stateful, alive — so your judges remember your last session and get harder each time. Workers AI scores your delivery in real time: pace, confidence, clarity. When you're done, you get a full spoken report. The first time you face a real room, it won't feel like the first time.
