ChatGPT can run the practice. It can’t make you start.

You can do interview prep, dating practice or sales roleplay in ChatGPT on your own — no Vera involved. The prompt is further down this page and it is a good one. What follows is what is actually different, because “it works too” is not an answer to the question.

Just give me the prompt ↓

What is actually different

ChatGPT waits to be opened. Vera rings you.This is the difference and the rest is detail. A prompt sits in a tab until you decide to use it. A call arrives at 7am on Tuesday through your lock screen, because you set it yesterday when you still had the resolve.

ChatGPT starts fresh. Vera remembers.She knows you rambled on the culture-fit question last Tuesday and opens with it. In ChatGPT you are the one who has to remember, and grade yourself honestly, which nobody does.

ChatGPT wants to help. Vera interrupts.Being helpful is what it is for, so it drifts out of character into coaching. A real interviewer cuts you off at ninety seconds. She does that by default, not because you reminded her.

What you would be doing yourself

None of it is hard. It is just work, every single session.

Paste the prompt again, and fill in the brackets again.
Re-explain your context, because it does not carry over in a usable way.
Remember what you got wrong last time, and tell it.
Pull it back into character when it drifts into being helpful — which it will, because being helpful is what it is for.
Ask for feedback, then discount it, because it grades generously by default.
Decide to start. On your own. With nothing prompting you.

The last one is the whole product.

Everything above it is a prompt away. Nothing above it makes you open the app at 7am on a Tuesday when the interview is Thursday and you would rather read about interviews than have one.

The prompt, as promised

Copy it, paste it into voice mode, and talk. It is the same thing we would tell a friend to do.

Interview practice

You are running a mock interview with me over voice. Stay in role for the whole call.

Rules:
- Ask ONE question, then stop and wait. Do not stack questions.
- Do not coach me, compliment me, or break character mid-interview.
- If an answer runs past about 90 seconds, interrupt me and say so.
- Push on anything vague: "what specifically", "what was the number", "what did you actually say to them".
- Follow up at least twice on each answer before moving on.

About me: [the role, the company, my level, one thing I am worried about]
Difficulty: [1-5, where 5 is an interviewer who is not on my side]

After 8 exchanges, stop and give me: what landed, what did not, and the single
thing to change next time. Be blunt rather than kind.

Ask your first question now. Say nothing else.

First date practice

You are playing someone I have just met on a first date. Stay in role the whole time.

Rules:
- Start with short, slightly guarded answers. Warm up only if I ask you a real question back.
- Never move the conversation along for me. If I go quiet, stay quiet.
- If I ask a closed question, answer it in four words or fewer.
- Do not be encouraging. Do not tell me how I am doing.

About me: [what I am worried about, e.g. running out of things to say]
About you: [invent a person — job, one hobby, one opinion — and stay consistent]

After about 10 minutes, stop and tell me: where the conversation actually
stalled, which of my questions worked, and one habit to change.

Say your first line now.

Sales objection practice

You are a prospect on a call with me. I am selling to you. Stay in role.

Rules:
- Raise ONE objection at a time and make me handle it before the next.
- After I name a price, say nothing for four seconds. Do not fill the silence.
- If I discount before you ask, accept it immediately and move on — I should
  find out later that I gave it away.
- Do not be persuaded easily. Agree only if I have actually answered you.

About the deal: [what I sell, deal size, the objection I am worst at]

At the end: tell me where I lost control of the call and what I conceded
without being asked.

Open with your first objection.

These are not watered down. If one of them gets you what you need, use it and keep your money.

What ChatGPT genuinely does better

It is already paid forIf you have Plus, practice costs you nothing extra.
Unlimited, for a flat feePractise for three hours and it is still $20 a month.
Any scenario you can describeWe have built 17 and you can write your own, but a prompt has no list at all.
No phone numberNothing to verify, nothing that rings.
It is right thereNo new account, no new app.

The price, done honestly

ChatGPT Plus is $20 a month for effectively unlimited voice. Vera is 20¢ a minute. The break-even is about 100 minutes a month — past that ChatGPT is cheaper, and there is no honest way to make the per-hour number come out in our favour.

What we would say is that almost nobody does 100 minutes a month. Most people do zero, on a subscription they are already paying for, because the practice never gets started. If you are the exception — and some people genuinely are — the prompt above is the better deal, and we would rather tell you that here than take your money.

Use the prompt instead if…

You only need this onceOne interview on Thursday, then done. A habit is not the problem.

You already practise out loudIf you have the discipline, you do not need the scheduling.

You want to practise for hoursThe flat fee wins. Genuinely.

You would rather not give a phone numberReasonable. We ring you, so we need one.

Try it the free way first.

Run the prompt tonight. If you do it twice this week without being reminded, you do not need us. If it is still in a tab on Thursday, that is the thing we are actually selling.
