An app for practicing hard conversations with AI
Nerve Arena is an app for practicing difficult conversations instead of only reading advice or taking communication courses. The user enters a practice space called the Dojo, chooses the kind of person they want to face, and has a back-and-forth conversation with an AI that pushes back like a real person. The practice situations include a coworker who takes credit for your work, a boss who controls every decision, a friend who pressures you with guilt, an angry customer who wants a fix, and a person who twists your words until you doubt your own memory.
The app focuses on the live encounter rather than lessons, modules, or s. The s each line on six areas: boundaries, clarity, empathy, composure, patience, and rapport. This helps the user see where they backed down and try the same situation again.
The app is still rough in some places, but it is live and being updated often.
