**Cat got your tongue? We gave it claws.** Tactical Talk is the world's first real-time AI conversation coach. Put in your earbuds, start a session, and Tactical Talk listens to your conversation through your phone's microphone — then whispers the exact right thing to say, the move to counter, or the question that cracks it open. In under 3 seconds. While you're still in the room. No more "I should have said..." three hours later. **Pick your mode:** → **Negotiation** — Close deals, raise prices, hold your line. Tactical Talk surfaces the anchor, the walk-away, the concession they've already conceded to. → **Sales** — Handle objections live. Read buyer signals. Know when to ask for the close. → **Interview** — Whether you're interviewing or being interviewed. Behavioral questions, compensation negotiation, the awkward silence — coached through all of it. → **Argument** — Stay calm, stay sharp. Tactical Talk catches logical fallacies and feeds you the clean counter before you lose your temper. → **Investor Meeting** — Pitch, handle pushback, protect your valuation. Built by a founder who has sat in those rooms. → **Confidence** — Small talk, networking, showing up when you're not feeling it. Get your footing in real time. → **Legal** — Depositions, mediations, hard conversations with opposing counsel. Tactical Talk flags loaded questions and gives you the precise response. → **Dating** — Read the room. Know what to ask. Know when to pivot. Don't be weird. → **Comedy** — Land the callback. Hold the room. Read the beat. → **Couples Coach** — The hard conversations with the person who matters most. Tactical Talk coaches both sides toward the real issue, not the surface fight. → **General** — Job well done but can't put your finger on what worked? General mode handles anything. **How it works:** 1. Open the app. Pick a mode. Tap Start. 2. Put your earbuds in. Start the conversation. 3. The app transcribes what you and the other person say, analyzes it with a tactical coach trained on negotiation, persuasion, and communication research, and delivers coaching advice — spoken — through your earbuds. 4. Only you hear it. The other person hears nothing but a confident, composed you. **After every session:** - **Session Debrief** — What worked. What to do differently. Locked insights you can unlock with Pro. - **Full transcript + highlights** — See exactly what was said and what the coach caught. - **History** — Revisit past sessions, track your growth. **Pro ($29.99/mo or $249/year — save 31%) unlocks:** - Unlimited sessions across 9 Pro modes (Negotiation, Sales, Interview, Argument, Investor Meeting, Confidence, Legal, Dating, plus General) - Safe Word exit system - Unlimited history, key moments, full summaries - Claude Haiku (premium AI engine) - Early adopter badge + lifetime price lock **Elite ($59.99/mo or $499/year — save 31%) adds:** - Every mode, every shield — no limits - Couples Coach + Witness Mode (timestamped evidence reports) - Claude Sonnet (fastest, smartest AI) - Body Language Coach + all 8 Detection Shields - Public Speaking + Heckler Shield - Analytics Dashboard - Offline Mode - Priority AI processing - Q&A Assistant - Every current and future feature **Prefer pay-per-use?** - **Emergency Pass ($4.99)** — auto-triggers 1 hour before a briefed event, covers the event window - **Single Session Pass ($7.99)** — 24 hours of unlimited coaching, buy whenever you need it **Privacy-first:** Audio is processed in real time and discarded unless you explicitly save the session.
