More than a script to read off
Most prep is a doc you forget the moment they talk. Hearby AI puts the next line in your ear while they talk, and lets you run the hard part out loud first.
Download for MacLooking for a script for hard conversations?
Role play with a friend is awkward and a script falls apart on the first question. Hearby AI plays the other person out loud, reacts to what you say, and prompts you in your ear while you learn.
Three short sessions teach the whole skill. Then only the first five words come through, then only when you pause, until you need it less.
Warm-up: Echo
Hey, I'm trying something new today.
Can I ask what made you take the call?
That makes sense. Tell me more about that.
Ten minutes to learn it
Three short warm-ups teach the one skill: hear the line, say it with the voice. Each ends with your scores.
Warm-up: Echo
Hey, I'm trying something new today.
Can I ask what made you take the call?

What is shadowing?
Shadowing is saying a line a word or two behind a voice, like a newsreader on an autocue. It is how interpreters and actors learn, and it is the whole skill Hearby AI teaches.
The warm-ups make it automatic, so on a real call you hear the line and say it without looking away from the person in front of you.

Why Hearby AI feels different from a script
Out loud, not in your head
You say every line, so the words are in your mouth before the real call.
A partner who pushes back
From a warm lead to someone burned by an agency before.
Less help every time
Word for word, then the first five words, then only when you pause.
Questions and answers
Who plays the other person?
A voice that plays whoever you are about to talk to, from a warm lead to someone burned by an agency before.
Do warm-ups count against live minutes?
No. Warm-ups are unlimited on Pro and three on Free.
How long is a warm-up?
A few minutes. The first is ten short lines.
Can I practise a job interview?
Only to rehearse beforehand. Hearby AI does not help in live interviews.
Does the partner speak out loud?
Yes, unless you turn it off in Settings, Preferences.
