Practise the first line
Break the ice.
Practise first.
Try the first minute on your phone, twenty times if you want, before it counts.
Free to start. No card.

“It’s the only place near work that gets the milk right. You’re not from around here, are you?”
Hint
She gave you an opening. Answer it, then hand one back.
Release to send · cut in anytime
You get one go.
No second try, and nobody explains what happened.
- 01
You think too long
By the time you have a line, the moment has gone.
- 02
It comes out flat
You say it, it lands badly, and you think about it all evening.
- 03
You learn nothing
You never find out which bit was the problem. So you do it again.
Pick a place. Start talking.
Pick a place
A café, a beach, a gym, a festival.
Talk
Hold the button and speak. She answers, and she can be cool about it.
See your score
What worked, what did not, and what to say instead.
Pick somewhere to walk into
The queue. Thirty seconds of shared waiting, and an opening if you take it.
1 of 4 · plays the next one automatically
You can practise this.
It is a first minute you have never rehearsed, not a personality you were not born with.
Nobody is watching
Your phone, your room. No stranger, no friend asking how it went.
She can say no
Sometimes she is not interested. It never tells you to push. Spotting that is the skill.
Try again and again
Say the same opener twenty times and hear what changes.
Warm up first
Two goes before you head out, so the first real person is not the practice.
Somewhere new every time.
Enough places and people that it never becomes one memorised script.

It tells you what went wrong.
Not a verdict on you. Your speed, your pauses, and the moment it turned.

Before you ask.
Do I have to talk out loud?
Yes. You hold a button and speak, and she speaks back. There is no typing.
Is she always friendly?
No. You choose how open she is, and sometimes she is not interested. It never tells you to push — noticing is the skill.
Is it just a guess?
No. Your speed, pauses and filler words are measured from the recording. Tap any score to see the numbers.
What happens to my recordings?
Your voice is used to score the session and nothing else. Transcripts and scores stay until you delete them, and deleting your account removes them. No contacts, photos or location. No ads.
What does it cost?
Free to start — three conversations a week. Paid plans give you more.
How do I get it?
It is on TestFlight for iPhone. Tap Get early access and it takes you there.
How to actually do it
Openers, what to notice, and how long you have.
The excuse, or straight in: two ways to open
Every opener is one of two things. Knowing which one you are doing is most of the job.
Guess where they are from, then say hello in their language
It costs you one word and it almost always works. It can also go wrong in exactly two ways.
Notice one thing: the observation opener
The opener people remember is not clever. It is specific, and it is about something they chose.
Or start with the method in four moves.
