The Problem

Media training requires iteration, not one-off prep sessions

Getting comfortable with interviews means practicing repeatedly until your responses feel natural.

But booking mock interviews with real people is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to schedule.

You need a way to practice on-demand, get real conversational feedback, and iterate until your delivery is sharp.

Why Current Solutions Fail

The limitations of solo recording tools

Video editors can't add conversational structure

Post-production tools can trim rambling but can't retroactively create the back-and-forth rhythm of a real conversation.

AI transcription doesn't improve delivery

Getting a transcript of your monologue just documents the problem—it doesn't solve the absence of conversational dynamics.

Scheduling software doesn't solve availability

Making it easier to book guests doesn't change the fact that you're dependent on someone else's calendar.

Understanding the Solution

The missing mechanism: Conversation creates clarity

Conversation isn't just about exchanging words—it's a cognitive feedback loop. When someone asks a follow-up question, your brain refines the idea in real-time.

This is why interviews feel more natural than monologues. The other person's questions give your thoughts shape and direction.

Without this mechanism, you're left guessing what's interesting, what needs more detail, and when to move on.

How Olyetta Works

Olyetta: Your on-demand interview partner

Olyetta isn't a chatbot or a script generator. It's an AI interviewer that creates the conversational conditions you need to speak naturally.

It listens, responds, and adapts—just like a real interviewer. But it's available whenever you are.

This is the conversational structure you've been missing, without the coordination overhead.

Adaptive questioning

Questions evolve based on your responses, creating a genuine interview experience rather than a Q&A format.

Zero scheduling friction

Record when inspiration strikes, not when calendars align. No coordination, no no-shows, no delays.

Conversational feedback loop

Get the cognitive cues you need—acknowledgment, curiosity, challenge—to maintain natural delivery.
