PitchLoop — speaking rehearsal coach
Practice talks in the browser and get instant feedback on pace, filler words, and structure
- Problem
- People who dread public speaking — engineers giving tech talks, founders pitching, students defending — lack a low-pressure way to rehearse. Human coaches are expensive, and replaying your own recording doesn't tell you what to fix, so issues like rushing, filler words, and loose structure go unnoticed.
- Solution
- A browser rehearsal tool: record or upload a practice run and get automatic analysis of pace, pauses, filler words, length, and section structure, plus actionable suggestions and annotated playback per segment, with multi-session progress comparison.
- Users
- Engineers who present often, founders and students prepping pitches or defenses, non-native speakers
- MVP
- Browser recording and upload; pace/pause/filler statistics; section structure and overrun warnings; itemized improvement tips; progress trend across sessions
- Revenue
- A few free analyses per month, subscription for unlimited practice, custom scenarios, and team templates
- Why now
- Speech and audio analysis APIs are cheap and accurate, and browser recording is ubiquitous; big players do meeting transcription, not practice feedback — a niche a small team can validate fast.
