RiseGuide
RiseGuide is bringing AI coaching to one of the most anxiety-inducing modern skills: public speaking. The platform's new Speech Analyzer listens to up to 60 seconds of recorded speech, then evaluates pacing, confidence, pauses, filler words, and structure before delivering a score alongside targeted feedback for improvement. Built into RiseGuide's Charisma Mastery program, the feature feels less like another passive self-help tool and more like a speaking coach that fits in your pocket, helping users sharpen clarity, cadence, and presence through real-time analysis and repetition.
