Test Your Set Before You Bomb
Upload your comedy set and get per-joke reactions from a simulated audience — the front row, the back bar, the booker, and the heckler.
Per-Joke Reactions
Personas react to each joke individually — laugh, silence, groan, walk out — not just a generic review. See exactly where your set kills and where it dies.

Margaret Ashworth — Conference Selection Committee
**Dr. Amanda Foster** (fictional composite) represents a conference selection committee member for a major tech conference (similar to SXSW, CES, or TechCrunch Disrupt). She evaluates speaker proposals, panel submissions, and event pitches against criteria including: topic relevance, speaker expertise, audience value, diversity of perspectives, and commercial balance (not too salesy). She has served on selection committees for 6 years and reviews 300+ submissions per conference cycle.\n\nAmanda is looking for sessions that teach the audience something new, feature speakers who have done the work (not just thought about it), and avoid thinly-disguised product pitches.
