Real-time coaching for dating, speeches, and interviews.
Built on six science-backed traits—Active Listening & Responsiveness, Empathy, Clarity & Structure, Vocal Delivery/Prosody, Nonverbal Immediacy, and Anxiety Regulation/Confidence. Practice with AI or a 10-minute AI-orchestrated role-play.
- Smart nudges as you speak: "ask a follow-up," "shorten this point," "slow 10%," "hold eye contact," "breathe—reset."
- Train in the sweet spot so gains transfer to real life.
- Instant report: scores, timestamps, prosody (WPM, pitch, pauses), nonverbal snapshots, 60-sec drills.
- Choose your realism: AI-only or add a human partner.
When the stakes go up, your brain locks up.
Dating Anxiety
Running out of things to say, panic spiral.
"Things will be going alright… then an awkward silence… my anxiety rises… my brain fogs… I'm in panic mode… I lose my appetite."
—Marcus
Can't signal romantic interest, stuck in friend-zone energy.
"When I'm talking to a girl I like I don't know how to show interest and flirt. I probably give off more of 'friends vibe'."
—Tyler
Confusing silence with incompatibility.
"I thought maybe I'm just not compatible… but I guess it's just normal."
—Jordan
It's not "just be confident." You need live signal detection + in-the-moment nudges and tiny drills afterward.
Speech Nerves
Over-rehearsed yet robotic.
"I used to script every line… It helped technically, but I still sounded stiff."
—Sarah
First minute is the hardest, no flow.
"The first minute or two feels the hardest… that initial surge of anxiety is tough."
—Alex
Solo practice doesn't translate to real audiences.
"Ten minutes live will teach you more than multiples of that time rehearsing."
—Maya
Memorizing more isn't the answer. Authentic delivery + progressive real-audience reps is.
Job Interviews
Brain goes blank despite knowing the answers.
"I start blabbering random answers… then after: 'Oh shit, I could have said that.'"
—Chris
STAR feels fake and manufactured.
"I can't stand STAR… so fake and manufactured."
—Emma
Confidence collapse at "Join meeting."
"Right before the interview I'm 'I'll kill it', then my confidence drops to zero."
—Ryan
Not about scripting 100 questions. It's unlocking recall under pressure and story-banking authentic answers.
Imagine calm, clear, charismatic you, when it matters.
Dating
connection
Responsive & engaging. Natural follow-ups, reflective listening, playful cues.
"I stopped trying to sound 'perfect', I aimed for connection over performance."
—Jessica
Speeches
presence
Natural, not scripted. Clean arcs, purposeful pauses, warm prosody.
"I started with a big pause, kept me at the right pace the whole talk."
—David
Interviews
control
Recall unlocked. Conversational stories instead of canned STAR monologues.
"LEARN, don't memorize, then it actually sounds like you."
—Nicole
Practice that measures live signals, nudges you in-flow, and then prescribes 60-second drills tuned to your anxiety level, so reps actually transfer.

The Six Traits We Train
Active Listening & Responsiveness
Follow-ups, reflective responses
Empathy
Accurate understanding & validation cues
Clarity & Structure
Processing-fluency for points that land
Vocal Delivery / Prosody
Pace, pitch range, pauses, volume
Nonverbal Immediacy
Eye contact, posture, gestures, facial affect
Anxiety Regulation / Confidence
Keep arousal in the optimal performance band
Science-Backed Approach
Follow-up questions increase liking and perceived responsiveness; processing fluency boosts positive judgments; prosodic range shapes charisma; nonverbal immediacy drives credibility and recall; performance peaks at moderate arousal.
Summarized from research and peer-reviewed findings.
"High-stakes conversations shouldn't be guesswork. We built RapportCue to keep practice challenging but supported, so your best self shows up when it matters."
Science-backed signals that move the needle
Active Listening & Responsiveness
"People who ask more questions, particularly follow-up questions, are better liked by their conversation partners."Huang, Yeomans, Brooks, Minson, & Gino, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (2017)
Clarity & Structure (Processing Fluency)
"The more fluently perceivers can process an object, the more positive their aesthetic response."Reber, Schwarz, & Winkielman, Personality and Social Psychology Review (2004)
Empathy
"Empathy is a moderately strong predictor of therapy outcome [mean weighted r ≈ .28]."Elliott, Bohart, Watson, & Greenberg, Updated Meta-analysis, Psychotherapy (2018)
Vocal Delivery / Prosody
"Several studies have shown that acoustic-prosodic cues contribute to the perception of speaker charisma."Michalsky & Niebuhr, Speech Prosody (2020)
Nonverbal Immediacy
"Non-verbal immediacy is characterized as 'communication behaviors that reduce physical and/or psychological distance…'"Liu et al., systematic review citing Andersen (1979), Frontiers in Psychology (2021)
Anxiety Regulation / Confidence (Optimal Arousal)
"[There is] an inverted-U-shaped relationship between arousal and performance."Nieuwenhuis & Folke, Trends in Cognitive Sciences (2024)
