Hello HN,

Excited to share my new project, a site for rehearsing conversations with any emulated person, powered by ChatGPT. Originally inspired by my daughter's idea, we built a tool that simulates scenarios from chats with a crush to job interviews, aiming to boost confidence and reduce anxiety.

You can create any persona you want to interact with, whether a celebrity or someone you know personally. Essentially, you are just creating custom prompts for ChatGPT and we add in a little extra to try to ensure it behaves the way you would want. You can share your AI personas with other users or keep them private.

Although I'm not a trained developer by any stretch of the imagination, I dove into programming this completely solo...well actually, with ChatGPT as my tutor. The logo was also generated by a Stable Diffusion based model.

Give it a try at practicetalking.net and share your thoughts! Hoping this tool will help you prepare for real-life conversations more effectively.

Looking forward to your feedback!
