The consulting case
Think out loud, stay structured, and land the recommendation before the clock does.
AI communication coach
The private practice room before your high-stakes room.
Record the pitch, the update, the hard conversation. Get separated feedback on your words, your voice, and how you show up. Re-record until the next take is stronger.

The problem
You knew your material. You still watched it slip.
One shot. You rushed the opening and buried the line that mattered. The room decided, and the moment did not come back.
How it works
One recording. One priority fix. One stronger second take.

Record
Rehearse it like the room is already watching.
Pick the moment. Hit record. Say it out loud once, the way you actually would. Sixty seconds is the data everything else works from.
The proof
Take one shows the problem. Take two shows the progress.
One weakness, one drill, one better take, side by side.

The Readiness Report
Four layers. One honest picture.
Not a speaking score. The feedback splits into the four things that decide whether the room is with you.
01
Script
What you said: structure, framing, and whether the opening and the ask actually hold.
02
Voice
How you sounded: pace, pauses, fillers, and the words you rushed.
03
Presence
How you showed up: eye line, posture, gesture. Observable, never psychology.
04
The room
Whether it worked: did the message do what that specific room needed.
The more you use it
It gets sharper every time you practise.
A chatbot starts from zero every message. Pedestal remembers the rooms you have rehearsed and the habits that travel with you.
What it is
A private gym for the rooms that decide your career.
No one should walk in cold. Rehearse the real conversation in private, and walk in sharper than last time.
What it is not
- A generic public-speaking app
- A confidence or charisma score
- A therapy product
- A chatbot with a record button
Scenarios
Built for the rooms that shape a career.
The behavioral round
“Tell me about a time…” Tightened to sixty seconds that actually answer the question.
The cold call
Called on with no warning. Rehearse thinking on your feet before the section sees you do it.
The pitch
Ninety seconds that decide whether the meeting continues. The opening, the numbers, the ask.
The difficult conversation
The raise, the offer negotiation, the no. Say it out loud once, before it counts.
More rooms open with early access.
Request accessThe obvious question
Can’t I just use ChatGPT?
For the words, yes. But it cannot see or hear you. It does not know you sped up, hedged the ask, or looked away on your strongest line. Pedestal works from your actual recording.
A human coach?
The best there is, and not there at eleven at night before the interview. Pedestal is the practice between sessions.
Toastmasters?
Social, scheduled, public. Sometimes you need a room with no one in it.
Your recording, your call
You decide where your video lives.
Recording yourself is the whole point, and the most personal thing we ask. So it is a choice, not a default you have to trust. Never used for training, deletable in full, whenever you want.
On deviceDefault
Analysis runs on your phone. Your video never leaves it, never touches a server. This is how every account starts.
In the cloudOptional, per feature
Switch on only for the features that need more: deeper analysis, history that syncs across your devices. You turn it on; you can turn it off.
Membership
A gym membership for high-stakes communication.
A communication coach runs $150 to $300 an hour, and never at midnight before the interview. Pedestal gives you a month of reps for less than one of those sessions: show up, rehearse, walk in sharper. Go month to month, or lock the founding rate for the year.
