Tough Tongue AI
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Ajitesh, co-founder of Tough Tongue AI. Ever walked out of an important conversation thinking "I should have said..."? We've built something that ensures you never have that feeling again.
The first truly agentic roleplay engine - AI agent that uses tools, remembers context, and creates realistic pressure. So you walk into your next job interview, salary negotiation, or sales call actually prepared.

🚀 Why Tough Tongue AI?
Here's what I learned the hard way - the difference between those who make it and those who almost make it in high-stakes conversations isn't knowledge. It's not that extra framework or concept. It's the confidence, the muscle memory to handle curveballs, and the ability to bulldoze through when things get tricky. That only comes from practice. Lots of it.
This wasn't my first time struggling with tough conversations - MBA Admissions, Networking Events, PM Interviews, Promotion discussions ... At Google, I had access to professional coaches, but that's expensive and not available at 10 PM when you're prepping for tomorrow's big meeting. Sure, friends and family try to help, but they can't create that realistic experience - no calibrated feedback, no real pressure.
So we built what we wished existed - unlimited, hyper-realistic practice that's always available.
What can the new Tough Tongue AI version do? (The Agentic Upgrade)
v2 was simple roleplay. No tools, no memory. This launch? We've gone full agentic, and here's what that means for you:
Agentic Tools: The agent can now create cards and diagrams, use code editor, and read whiteboards - just like a real interviewer would. Hyper-realistic it is.
Long-term Memory: AI remembers every conversation (when you want it to) and what it remembers is completely under your control. This plus agentic tools = we built you an accountability coach!
Evaluation 2.0: We overhauled our simplistic evaluation to a multi-step, richer analysis that actually helps you improve
Courses: Curated sequences of scenarios and videos to offer structured, 1:1 learning paths
We deeply believe in the power of content. That's why we have hand-written 100+ scenarios based on our experience of working at top roles at bigtech and startups. We take your experience and time really seriously!
P.S.: We're the only interview practice platform where the agents can seamlessly use code editor, whiteboard, dynamically ingest PDFs etc to conduct interviews :)
Get started in 10 seconds:
Pick a scenario from our hand-written library collection
Or create "custom" scenario by just adding a few words and uploading PDF context
Interact with the agent and receive post-conversation debrief
Bigger vision 🌱
Today we're laser-focused on Software and PM interviews. Tomorrow? The natural expansion - sales negotiations, leadership coaching, and other high-stakes conversations where practice matters.
But here's what really excites us: we're not just building more practice scenarios - we're reimagining what practice means. Every session has coaching woven into it. Your accountability coach doesn't just roleplay; it remembers your patterns, tracks your growth, and helps you build skills over time. We believe hyper-realistic practice should teach, not just test. That's the future we're building - where AI doesn't just simulate conversations, but actively helps you master them.

Thank you to my amazing team and my caffeine addiction for making this product possible. As tribute, I do recommend trying our Coffee Coach. (Yes, we made a coach for coffee lovers. We have no chill.)
P.P.S: If you're still reading this, you're definitely the type who over-prepares. Welcome home.

My scenario recommendation :
1. Google PM Interview: Fun hypothetical case interview
2. Coding Scenario: Famous two-sum problem and witness how voice AI conducted coding interview
3. System Design: Explore classic - what happens when you type google[.]com in browser

@aj_123 congrats on this very cool launch!!
@aj_123 I've always struggled with that 'I should have said...' feeling after important conversations, so this really resonates with me. The idea of having unlimited practice sessions that actually create realistic pressure is exactly what I've been looking for. I love that it's not just roleplay but an actual coach that remembers my patterns and helps me improve over time.
Can't wait to try this before my next big meeting!
Hi Product Hunt, Tough Tongue AI helps you crush high-stakes conversations (interviews, negotiations, sales calls) with hyper-realistic AI roleplay. Our agentic AI uses tools (code editor, whiteboards), remembers context, and delivers calibrated feedback—so you’re prepped, not just practiced.
Try our Google PM interview, coding drill, or system design scenario—or upload your own PDF to customize :)

Yes, I lead GTM and Growth at Tough Tongue.
And, No, this isn’t a biased review.
This is me being the user of Tough Tongue daily, deeply.
Why I keep going back to it:
I pitch a lot. Sometimes to investors. Sometimes to enterprise buyers.
I use our Investor Coach scenario before every funding-related pitch. It’s like having YC’s ghost whispering feedback into your ear. Brutally helpful.
For enterprise sales, I often upload the buyer’s LinkedIn as a PDF, ask the AI to role-play them, and then practice my pitch. Sometimes, I role play it: the AI becomes me and I become the buyer. Wild, but it works.
Before big demos, I test messaging on the AI to simulate tough buyers. I can tell when something won’t land. Then I fix it.
I even built a custom scenario to practice negotiation strategy with a real client situation we were stuck on. It helped me reframe the deal and the pressure.
What I like most:
It’s not just a talking bot. It thinks, questions, pushes back, and mirrors real-world resistance.
Real-time feedback is gold. Body language, delivery, tone, gaps.
I genuinely believe it’s a force multiplier for anyone in sales, leadership, hiring, or negotiation.
What could be better (yes, I’ll say it):
• Agents occasionally get stuck. Think: “Hello? Am I audible?”
Yes, it happens here too. Latency, loop, lag. Like a bad Zoom call.
• UX still has room to grow. Mobile needs overhaul.
But we’re on it. We’ve mapped all feedback. Version 4.0 is going to be.
Final thought:
I don’t just sell ToughTongue.
I use it like my personal coach, deal whisperer, and pitch therapist.
That’s the real testament.
