The app that tells you what they are really saying…

Practise the conversation before it matters.

Smabouche lets you rehearse difficult real-life conversations with AI personas that push back, deflect, and respond exactly like the person you're dreading to talk to.

"The budget's tight right now. Why do you think this is the right time?"
"Because I've been leading projects above my role for the last six months."
"That's fair. But everyone feels stretched at the moment."

Good answer. Clear and calm. Next time, mention a specific result you delivered.

How it works

You rehearse it here first.

Most people replay difficult conversations in their head. Smabouche lets you practise them properly instead.

01Pick your scenario

Pick your scenario

Choose who you need to talk to and how difficult you want the conversation to be. Practise asking for a raise, confronting a friend, or chasing a contractor who keeps disappearing.

02Have the conversation

Have the conversation

Type what you'd actually say. The AI pushes back, changes the subject, goes quiet, or gives vague answers — just like real people do.

03Read your report

Read your report

Get a clear breakdown of what landed, what didn't, and what to try differently next time. Download the full report as a PDF before the real conversation happens.

Personas

People who feel uncomfortably real.

You're not practising against a chatbot. Each persona has a name, a job, a personality, and a way of deflecting that feels familiar the second they reply.

Session report

Walk away knowing exactly what to do next time.

Most people replay difficult conversations in their head for days afterwards. The report gives you something more useful: a clear read on what actually happened and what to do next time.

8.4 / 10

You stayed calm when the conversation got defensive and didn't over-explain yourself. The strongest moments were when you used short, direct sentences instead of trying to soften everything.
