Tough Tongue AI

We're building the infrastructure for AI coaching - where hyper-realistic practice becomes indistinguishable from expert guidance.

Our Mission

We discovered a hidden problem: there's no effective way to practice high-stakes conversations. You can hire expensive coaches ($350-500/hour) who give advice, or watch generic videos, but nowhere to actually practice with realistic pressure and tools. This gap between knowing what to do and performing under pressure affects millions - from job interviews to difficult feedback conversations.

We're creating a new category: AI agents that coach through immersive practice, using real tools in realistic scenarios. Starting with technical interviews - where our AI uses code editors, whiteboards, and slides during conversations - we're proving that hyper-realistic practice IS coaching when done right.

Our vision: infrastructure that enables any expert to create AI practice partners for their domain's critical conversations.

Our Work

We're a research lab at the intersection of voice AI, cognitive science, and human performance. Our agents don't just chat - they create hyper-realistic experiences that mirror high-stakes moments:

  • Intelligent Scenarios: Our AI does deep research to create highly realistic, company-specific scenarios - not generic questions. Each roleplay feels like the actual conversation you'll face
  • Multimodal Intelligence: Our AI seamlessly uses tools (code editors, whiteboards, slides) while maintaining natural conversation
  • Calibrated Feedback: Beyond generic advice, we deliver specific insights on where you stand and how to improve

Every week, thousands of professionals use our platform to master difficult conversations - from technical interviews to executive presentations. We're obsessed with crafting experiences that feel indistinguishable from working with the world's best coaches.

Our Team

We're a fully remote team distributed across the US, India, and Netherlands, with deep LLM application expertise - from building Google Cloud's first Gemini infrastructure application to distributed systems at scale.

Our passion for building this platform stems from our own experiences with difficult conversations - from interview failures to challenging startup decisions. We're combining this personal understanding with our technical expertise to pursue a simple mission: making quality practice accessible to everyone who needs to succeed in high-stakes moments.
