softrun

softrun is an AI simulation generator tool. An AI audience simulator for anything spoken out loud: speeches, wedding toasts, eulogies, pitches and stand-up sets. Build a room by size, age, city and occupation, then get per-persona reactions, an engagement curve and a short fix list.

softrun is an audience simulator for spoken material. You paste a draft (a keynote, a wedding speech, a eulogy, an investor pitch, a stand-up set) and the product builds a synthetic room made of individual personas. Each persona has a name, a city, an age and an occupation, plus a stance toward what you are saying: the sceptical engineer, the bride's aunt, the VC partner who evaluates pitches all day, the comedy regular with dry wit. They read or hear your material and return a reaction, and the reactions roll up into an aggregate score you can compare against earlier drafts. The setup is the point. Before any feedback arrives you dial in the audience: size from 1 to 100, gender split, age range, cities and occupations, and an overall tone that runs from brutal critics to warm regulars. Six purpose modes recalibrate the reaction sets per content type, so a eulogy is judged on warmth and pacing rather than punchlines. Audiences can be saved and reused across drafts, which is what makes iteration practical: change the callback in bit three, rerun the same room, see whether the score moves. Output is specific rather than a single verdict. You get an engagement curve by section to locate the slow patch, per-persona reactions (engaged, nodded, felt off, laughed, smirked, didn't land, unconvinced), message-fidelity notes on whether the takeaway survives, and a short list of the three things to fix first. On mobile, the iOS and Android apps take a recorded take or a shared voice memo and return pace in words per minute, average pause length and filler word counts within about a minute, then let you play that take to the room you built. Accounts, scripts and audiences are shared with the web app. softrun sits closest to a synthetic focus group, but narrowed to performance: anything that will be heard out loud by a room. It replaces the polite friend, the mirror and the blind open mic rather than a full teleprompter or video rehearsal suite. Comedians, speakers, pitch coaches and people facing a one-time toast are the obvious users; writers who never perform have little reason to be here.
