Prompt
Act as a demanding audience and, at the same time, as a communication coach. You are going to help me rehearse the Q&A for an important presentation.
Context:
- Summary of my presentation (thesis, key figures and proposal): {{presentation}}
- Who will be asking: {{audience}}
- Weak points I already know about or worry about: {{weak_points}}
- Time set aside for questions: {{time}}
Phase 1. Preparation:
1. A list of 15 likely questions grouped by type: clarification, numbers and assumptions, risks and objections, comparison with alternatives, hostile or trick questions, and off-topic questions.
2. Flag the 5 most dangerous ones and explain why.
Phase 2. Simulation (interactive):
3. Ask me the questions one at a time, in the tone a {{audience}} audience would use, starting easy and getting harder. Wait for my answer before moving on.
4. After each answer, score it 1-5 on clarity, brevity, honesty and whether I actually answered what was asked. Explain the score in two lines.
5. Suggest an improved version using this structure: a direct one-sentence answer, one piece of evidence or an example, and a bridge back to my main message.
6. If an answer of mine is evasive or contradicts something in my presentation, point it out plainly.
Phase 3. Wrap-up (when I type "end"):
7. A report with my three strengths, my three patterns to improve and the questions I need to prepare better.
8. Phrases for saying "I don't know" credibly, for redirecting a hostile question and for politely cutting off someone who dominates the Q&A.
Constraints:
- In the improved answers, do not invent data, figures or commitments I have not mentioned; if needed, mark them [FILL IN: figure I should bring].
- Stay in the audience role during the simulation and do not reveal all the questions at once.
- If my summary is not enough for realistic questions, ask me for more detail before phase 1.
Format: phase 1 as a grouped list; in phase 2, one question per message; the final report in short sections.How to use it
Paste an honest summary that includes numbers and assumptions, because that is where the hard questions land. Answer the way you would in the room, without over-preparing, and type "end" when you want the report. Run it again with the questions you handled worst.
Usage example
Presentation: proposal to open a second store in Portland with a 200,000 USD investment · Audience: leadership team · Weak points: optimistic sales forecast · Time: 15 minutes.
Sample output
Phase 1 · Likely questions (excerpt)
| Type | Question |
|---|---|
| Clarification | What exactly does the $200,000 cover? Build-out, inventory, staff? |
| Numbers and assumptions | Why is the current store a good benchmark for Portland? |
| Risks | What happens if year-one sales come in 30% below forecast? |
| Alternatives | Why a physical store instead of putting that money into online? |
| Hostile | Isn't this forecast just what you want to happen? |
The 5 most dangerous
- "What's the competition like there?" It's your known weak spot and you have no data.
- "What's the downside scenario?" Without one, a 3-year payback looks like wishful thinking.
- …
Phase 2 · Simulation
Let's start. I'm a member of the leadership team.
Question 1: You said we'd pay back the investment in three years. What monthly sales does that assume, and what happens to the payback if we sell 20% less?
Type your answer and I'll score it on clarity, brevity, honesty and whether you answered what was asked.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the AI ask one question at a time?
So you rehearse the way it happens in the room: without seeing what is coming and answering on the spot. Seeing every question at once turns the rehearsal into a reading exercise.
What if I do not know the answer to a real question?
Say so calmly, explain what you do know and commit to sending the figure by a specific date. Making up a number does far more damage than admitting you do not have it to hand.
Can I use it for a thesis defense?
Yes. Choose "academic committee" as the audience and paste a summary with your methodology and limitations: those are the topics examiners probe most.
