Meet Ascend
Most AI only reads the words you type. Ascend listens to your voice. She hears your tone, pace, pauses and filler words, tells you exactly what worked and what to change, and lets you try again straight away.
AscendListeningFeedback on how you sound, not just what you say
Tone
Warm, flat, nervous or confident. She shows you how to bring more warmth and life into your voice.
Pace
How many words you speak each minute, so you know whether you are rushing, dragging or easy to follow.
Pauses
Where you pause, where you rush, and where a pause would help your point land.
Filler words
Every “um”, “er”, “like” and “basically”, counted so you can watch them disappear.
Volume
Too quiet to carry, or steady and clear. Project with confidence without ever shouting.
Pitch
The rise and fall of your voice, so you sound expressive rather than monotone.
Confidence
Everything together, as a score that grows attempt after attempt.
And what you say
Whether you answered the question, what to cut and what to add, with a stronger version of your own words.
The InterviewShe is not just a coach. She plays the part.
Ascend can interview you for one of sixteen jobs, from barista to staff nurse, reacting to every answer as a real interviewer would. Or she can be the stranger you meet at a bar or a wedding, warming up when you are interesting and making her excuses when you are not.
See the Social Experiment →Talk to her any time
Open the Ascend tab and simply speak. Ask how to stop saying “um”, what to practise today or how to start a conversation.
She remembers your progress
When you come back from a real-life challenge, she scores it out of ten and writes personal notes on your account.
Warm, British and encouraging
Ascend greets you in a natural British voice and talks you through every tutorial, so it always feels as though a real coach is beside you.
