Duolingo for negotiation
Daily 5-minute roleplay drills that teach anyone to ask for more. Raises, deals, rent, the moments where a few words are worth thousands of dollars.
The problem
Most people negotiate a handful of times a year and freeze every time. There's no low-stakes way to practice the actual moment, the flinch, the counter, the silence. Books explain theory; nobody rehearses. The skill that most directly moves your income is the one with the least deliberate practice.
The idea
A mobile app that turns negotiation into a daily streak. Short, scripted roleplays with an AI counterpart that pushes back, plus instant feedback on where you conceded too early or left money on the table. Scenarios ladder from asking for a discount to a full comp negotiation.
- 5-minute daily drills with a streak mechanic
- AI counterpart that adapts difficulty to your responses
- Scenario packs: salary, freelance rates, rent, car, vendors
- Post-drill scorecard on anchoring, concessions, and silence
Why now
Conversational AI finally makes a believable sparring partner cheap to run. The habit-forming, gamified-learning playbook is proven at consumer scale, and pay-transparency laws have made comp negotiation a mainstream anxiety with real search demand behind it.
