Show HN: SmoothTalk – Practice Cold Approaching and Flirting with Voice AI

1 shehbaj 0 9/17/2025, 9:08:48 PM smoothtalk.app ↗

I wanted a way to practice cold approaching, flirting, and keeping conversations flowing when meeting new people at bars or other social settings.

I first tried ChatGPT’s voice mode, but it often refused to roleplay these scenarios. I experimented with tools like Vapi and found the practice surprisingly effective. That led me to build a dedicated app for it.

I’ve been testing it with friends, and they’ve found it helpful too. It’s now live on iOS TestFlight and Google Play beta.

Would love feedback from the community. Curious if others find this kind of conversational roleplay useful!
