# Verbaly

AI web app · Founder — product, build, go-to-market, and fundraising

An AI speech coach — built, launched to 2,300+ users, and funded by Jason Calacanis.

## The problem
Most people communicate poorly in the moments that matter — interviews, presentations, sales calls — and the usual fix (Toastmasters and the like) is slow and inconvenient.

## The approach
Designed and built a consumer web app: a humanized AI speech coach that records, evaluates, and trains, powered by LLMs and a retrieval-augmented-generation system.

## The outcome
- Acquired 2,300+ users
- Raised $25K from Jason Calacanis & LAUNCH
- Shipped an LLM + RAG product end-to-end
