Got halfway?Good. That was
still a real try.
still a real try.
Does this sound familiar?
You know what you want to do. Doing it is the hard part.
A short phone call stayed on your to-do list for several days.
You wanted to start a conversation, then waited for the other person to begin.
You kept thinking about one awkward sentence long after everyone else had forgotten it.
These are ordinary moments. They can still be difficult, and they are things you can practice.
How Talkitude works
One small step, then the next.
Choose where you want more confidence. Talkitude suggests one clear action, then uses your answer to choose what comes next.
Choose what you want to work on
Start with meetings, friendships, phone calls, dating, groups, or another part of social life.
Get one clear action to try
Your mission might be to greet a coworker, reply to a message, or ask one question. You can make it easier or harder.
Tell the app what happened
Choose completed, got partway, or did not try. Talkitude uses that answer to adjust your next mission.

Questions
What to know before you join.
Is Talkitude therapy?
No. Talkitude is a self-guided practice app for everyday social situations. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and it is not a replacement for professional care.
Is it an AI chatbot?
No. You will not practice conversations with a chatbot. Talkitude gives you a small action to try with people in everyday life.
What if I do not complete a mission?
Choose “Got partway” or “Didn’t try it.” Both answers help Talkitude choose a more realistic next step. You do not lose progress or break a streak.
Can I make a mission easier?
Yes. You can make a mission gentler or more challenging before you try it. You can also skip types of missions that are not right for you.
What happens to my information?
Your answers, missions, and notes stay on your phone. We only store them online if you choose to turn on online syncing.
