Frame analyzes your real conversations — not simulations, not practice runs. Record an actual interview, negotiation, date, or argument, and Frame breaks down every turn with AI-powered emotion detection, rhetoric scoring, and vocal analysis. HOW IT WORKS Record a conversation from your phone. Frame transcribes it, identifies each speaker, and runs three layers of AI analysis: • Emotion Detection — what each speaker actually felt at every moment, derived from vocal tone, not guesswork • Rhetoric Scoring — filler words, over-explaining, validation-seeking, hedging, and 20+ communication patterns scored per turn • Prosody Analysis — vocal confidence, pace, tension, and energy mapped across the entire conversation Every turn gets a Frame Score. Every speaker gets a breakdown. You see exactly where things shifted. FRAME ANALYST Chat with your AI analyst after any session. Ask what went wrong at a specific moment, get alternative phrasing, or understand why the other person's tone changed. The analyst references your actual transcript, timestamps, and scores — not generic advice. THE VAULT Every session is saved, scored, and searchable. Track your communication patterns over time. See which scenarios you dominate and where you consistently lose ground. USE CASES • Interviews — identify the exact moment engagement dropped • Salary negotiations — know who held leverage and when it shifted • Dates and social interactions — catch the signals you missed • Sales calls — see when your pitch landed and when you lost them • Arguments — understand the emotional dynamics turn by turn • Any conversation you want to learn from PRIVACY & DATA Recordings are encrypted and stored securely.
