A communication-coaching app that helps men get better at talking to women through four things: sixty quick lessons on what to text when she sends X, a text coach for dating-app screenshots, notes on your existing photos, and live voice practice calls with six AI partners. It is launching on the App Store and Google Play in September 2026. The press shorthand is "the Duolingo of learning to talk to women," which is fair: structured drills, daily rhythm, measurable progress. The product line is "practice, then go talk to her," because the lessons are the start and the real conversation is the point.

No. There are no real women on the platform. We don't match you with anyone. The practice partners are AI characters, clearly labelled, and the entire product surface treats them that way. You date real people on real dating apps. We help you be better at the conversation.

No, and the design is built around making sure it isn't. You are not building a relationship with the practice partners. You are not pretending they are real, including to yourself. Every call shows "you are practicing" on screen and the coach always closes with a reminder that the next conversation should be with a real person. The skill is the product, not the partner.

They write the line for you. We train you not to need them. Their product is a generated reply. Our product is the skill underneath the reply. Both have a place. We think the second one builds something that lasts.

You pick a partner and a situation, tap call, the avatar fades in, and you say hi. She responds in real time. You talk for 2 to 10 minutes depending on the scenario. About fifteen seconds after you hang up, the Coach posts five scores plus specific notes on what landed and what didn't, with alternative lines for the things that didn't.

Most users do one practice call plus one Coach review in 10 to 15 minutes. That's a rep. The product is designed for one rep most days, not a weekend marathon. The data on language-learning apps says the same: short, frequent reps beat long, occasional ones.

iOS first, on TestFlight from 1 August and on the App Store in September. Android via Google Play in the same window. Web version: not in v0. The practice calls benefit from a real mic and camera and that's easier on a phone.

Four tiers, all GBP, all VAT-inclusive at the App Store level. Free gets you all sixty lessons, unlimited text coach, ten photo notes, five minutes of voice practice per week, and Maya unlocked. Pro at £14.99 per month adds sixty voice minutes, the other five practice partners (earn through progression or skip ahead with Chalk), and 1.5x progression speed. Coach at £34.99 per month adds two hundred voice minutes, video mode, 2x progression speed, and a monthly Chalk grant. There is also a launch-window Founder's Pass at £149 one-time, capped at the first 1,000 buyers, which unlocks all personas forever plus Pro-equivalent minutes for life plus twelve Season Passes free. When the cap fills or 30 days pass (whichever first), the Founder's Pass is gone.

No. Calls and transcripts are stored encrypted, used only to generate your Coach notes and your progress trend, and deleted after 90 days unless you opt in to keep them. We don't sell data and we don't use your conversations to train any model. The third-party APIs we use (Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Tavus) operate under enterprise terms that prohibit training on your content.

You, and the AI Coach that generates your notes. No human reviewer watches your calls. The only exception is a safety flag: if our abuse classifier flags a call (the kind of thing that gets your account suspended), a senior team member may review the flagged segment to verify the flag.

Yes, in Settings. We export your call transcripts, your Coach notes, and your progression chart as JSON and PDF. We do not export the raw audio or video, because we do not retain it past 90 days.

Yes, in Settings, one tap. All your data is purged within 30 days, per UK GDPR.

No. This product is built for hetero men learning to talk to women. That is the only audience we serve.

Yes. The personas are six women. The scenarios assume you are the man at the other end of the conversation. We do one thing very well rather than several things badly. We don't claim to serve every audience; we serve this one well.

No, and the scoring is designed to make sure of it. The five dimensions the Coach reads for are Presence, Curiosity, Warmth, Read, and Spark (calibrated romantic charge). We REWARD presence, curiosity, warmth, and the Read. We PENALISE the manipulation playbook: scripted opens, negs, push-pull, contrived value displays, and the rest of the rizz canon. Anna will end your call if you run a pickup script. Priya will go cold if you over-perform. Performance gets you a 30. Being present gets you an 85. Duolingo rewards the right answer on a worksheet; we reward the right behaviour in a real conversation. Same lesson format, different teaching theory.

No. The personas are practice partners and teachers, never companions or romantic interests. There is no in-app messaging surface where the persona acts like she misses you. There is no "Maya is thinking about you today" notification. Push notifications are explicitly about practice and coaching, never parasocial. If you came here looking for an AI girlfriend, this is the wrong product. We are a coaching app that uses AI characters as training partners, the way a boxing gym uses a heavy bag.

v0 ships without persona-sent photos at all. v0.1 may add lifestyle photos as scenario anchors (Maya at her studio, Sofia at a gig), ALWAYS clearly labelled as AI-generated per EU AI Act Article 50, ALWAYS as coaching context for a scenario you then practise, NEVER as a romantic reward for saying the right thing. Photos are teaching material, not affection currency. If we ever cross that line, shout at us.

Quality over quantity. Each persona is a designed character with a distinct conversation style, voice, and difficulty level: Maya warm, Anna sharp, Dr Iris cerebral. You unlock them through progression as your skill grows. Maya is free; the others come with practice. We could have shipped fifty interchangeable faces. That would have been a roster. We wanted a curriculum, and a curriculum needs designed characters who teach different things. Six is the right number for v0; we expand only if each addition teaches something the existing six don't.

We think we're making it better. The version of dating-app messaging that's actively bad for women on the receiving end is the "send 50 copy-pasted lines and see who bites" pattern. That pattern exists because men are bad at the conversation and trying to brute-force it. Practice moves men from brute force to actually engaging with the person in front of them. Better conversations are better for both sides.

Yes. All sixty lessons, unlimited text coach, ten photo notes per month, five minutes of voice practice per week, and Maya unlocked. The free tier is a real product, not a trial.

A launch-window one-time purchase at £149. It unlocks all six personas forever, Pro-equivalent voice minutes for life, and twelve Season Passes free. Capped at the first 1,000 buyers OR 30 days after launch, whichever comes first. After that, it's gone permanently.

1 August 2026: TestFlight beta opens to the first 500 signups. September 2026: full App Store and Google Play launch. If you sign up today you get the launch invite when we go live.

No. Hard no. We've turned down two partnership offers already (from accounts our brand can't be associated with) and we'll keep turning down every one of them. The Duolingo of learning to talk to women framing is the entire posture: structured drills that build a real skill, not a playbook that performs one.

A small UK team. We're staying off the marketing surface until launch because we'd rather you judge the product than the people. After launch we'll do this differently. Press inquiries: press@talktowomen.ai.

We don't have a team page in stealth. After 1 August we'll talk about the team properly. Some of the people involved in this are women.
