How to Prepare for Founder Interviews
Scripted answers fall apart under follow-up questions
You can memorize perfect responses to expected questions. But the moment someone asks 'why?' or 'can you elaborate?', the script breaks down.
Real interviews don't follow your outline. They follow the natural flow of conversation—which means unpredictability.
Practicing with static questions doesn't prepare you for the moment when you have to think and respond in real-time.
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.
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 solves forced solo creation
The problem isn't that you can't talk. It's that talking to nobody breaks your natural delivery.
Olyetta restores the conversational mechanism: someone who listens, questions, and responds. This is what your brain needs to speak naturally.
It's not about automation. It's about having a conversation partner when you need one.
Real-time conversational adaptation
The AI adjusts its questions based on what you say, creating organic flow rather than scripted sequences.
Multiple interview modes
Choose from friendly conversation, challenging drill mode, or structured agenda format depending on your goals.
Post-recording insights
Get transcripts, content hooks, and structural analysis to refine your delivery for next time.
