Pretake
Read full descriptionHide full description
Practise the conversation before you have it. Pretake creates an AI version of someone you know from the messages you already share. Try a difficult opening, see a possible reply, then rewind and try another way. START WITH YOUR CHATS Import a WhatsApp chat, or record your screen scrolling through a chat in iMessage, Telegram or Instagram - it's read on your phone. Screenshots and export files work too. Choose the person you want to practise with, and Pretake uses their messages to build context for the simulation. REWIND AND TRY AGAIN Change a message and explore another take. Your earlier versions stay available, so you can compare different ways of starting the same conversation. HELP ME SAY IT Not sure how to start? Say what you mean in your own words, and Pretake suggests a way to put it for the person you're practising with, in your own voice. Every suggestion is labelled, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you send it in the practice chat. ALWAYS AN AI SIMULATION The person in Pretake is an AI version, not the real person. Replies are possible outcomes, not predictions or advice. Nothing you write in a practice chat is sent to that person. Pretake is for private rehearsal, not impersonation or deception. YOUR CONVERSATIONS Import files are processed on your phone. With your permission, selected conversation text is sent to Pretake and its AI services to build context and generate replies. Style-profile excerpts, selected imported messages and practice conversations are stored encrypted on Pretake's server. Delete a person, or use Delete everything in Settings, to remove the associated data. See the privacy policy for full processing, retention and deletion details. PRETAKE UNLIMITED Try Pretake with one person and 40 free replies. Pretake Unlimited adds unlimited people and 900 replies per 30 days. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
