The three changes that matter most for your talk, and a plan to practise. ## At a glance - **You send:** An outline, script, slide text or rehearsal transcript, plus who is in the room and how long you have - **The review:** What already works, the three changes that matter most and a short example of each - **Every claim:** Labelled as research, practitioner experience or its own reasoning, with how sure it is - **The practice plan:** Run-throughs, a nerves routine, a Q&A drill and a day-of checklist - **Your material:** Used for that answer only; never kept and never put into a web search - **What it never does:** Rewrite your whole script or deck, or diagnose anxiety ## What the Public Speaking Coach does - **Reviews your talk:** Send an outline, script, slide text or rehearsal transcript and get what works, the changes that matter most, timing notes and the questions you are likely to face. - **Builds a practice plan:** A rehearsal plan for your next talk: how many run-throughs, what to practise in each, a nerves routine, a Q&A drill and a day-of checklist for the room or the camera. - **Answers any speaking question:** How fast to speak, how to open a webinar, how many slides fit your slot, how to handle a hostile question. Short answers, with where the advice comes from. - **Covers every kind of talk:** Workshops and webinars, sales talks and pitches, keynotes, panels, and podcast or media interviews, in person or on video. - **Keeps its knowledge current:** It refreshes what it knows every month from new research and leading practitioners, keeping each point as a short, sourced fact. - **Labels every claim:** You always know whether a tip is backed by research, by practitioner experience or is its own reasoning, and how sure it is. ## How the Public Speaking Coach differs from a generic list of speaking tips A list of tips treats every speaker alike and mixes research with folklore. The Public Speaking Coach works from your own outline, script or rehearsal transcript, starts with what already works and gives only the few changes that matter most. Each point says whether it rests on research, practitioner experience or its own reasoning, and popular myths are called out. You decide what changes, and your words stay yours. How this differs from the Speechwriter (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-speechwriter-agent): To have a full script written for you, use the Speechwriter; the Public Speaking Coach reviews and rehearses a talk you already have. ## How it works 1. **Tell it about the talk** (Before a talk): Share what the talk is, who will be in the room and how long you have. Paste your outline, script or slide text, or the transcript of a rehearsal. 2. **Get focused feedback** (Straight after you share it): It starts with what already works, then gives the three changes that matter most, each with the evidence behind it and a short example line. 3. **You decide what to change** (you approve) (Once you have read the feedback): Take the suggestions you like and leave the rest. The speaker always makes the final call on the talk. 4. **Practise with a plan** (Ahead of the big day): It builds a rehearsal plan counted in run-throughs, with a nerves routine, a Q&A drill and a checklist for the day. 5. **Come back after the rehearsal** (After each rehearsal): Paste the transcript of your next run-through and get a fresh review on what improved and what to work on next. ## When to use it - **You have a keynote coming up and feel rusty:** Get a practice plan with run-throughs, a nerves routine and a day-of checklist, so you walk on prepared. - **Your sales pitch is not landing:** Send the outline and get the few changes that will sharpen the opening, the story and the close. - **You are hosting your first webinar:** Learn how to open strong, keep people with you on camera and run a smooth Q&A. - **You dread the questions at the end:** Get a list of likely tough questions and a drill to practise calm, clear answers. - **Your team argues about how many slides to use:** Get a straight answer for your time slot, with where the advice comes from and how sure it is. ## What you get - A talk review: what works, the changes that matter most and short example lines - Timing notes, with room left for pauses, interaction and questions - A list of likely questions and the risky ones to prepare for - A practice plan with run-throughs, a nerves routine and a Q&A drill - A day-of checklist for the room or for video - Short, sourced answers to any public speaking question ## Example: talk feedback and practice plan Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Here is my rehearsal transcript and slides for the retirement income seminar. What should I fix, and how should I practise before the evening? This is an illustrative example, hand-written from the agent's design for an invented firm, talk and rehearsal. No real systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent or changed. Each recommendation is tied to a labelled fact so the speaker can see whether it rests on research, practitioner view or an estimate. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - The rehearsal ran 32 minutes for a 25-minute slot; cutting 1,150 words across the opening, background, income sources and mistakes list brings it to 23 minutes without speeding up. - Opening with the retired couple's question instead of the firm's history, and moving to one idea per slide, are the two changes most likely to hold the room. - Six likely questions are drilled with short answer shapes; the two touching on personal advice and how the firm is paid should be checked with the compliance lead. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Public Speaking Coach is ready for your account. - It coaches and the speaker decides. It suggests short example lines but never rewrites your whole script or deck. - Your talk material is used for that answer only. It never keeps your script, transcript or recording, or anyone's name or words from them. - It never puts your talk content into a web search or uploads it to an outside practice tool. - Speaking nerves are normal. It never diagnoses anxiety, and for severe or lasting fear it suggests a qualified professional. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I get useful feedback on a speech before I give it? Share your outline, script or a rehearsal transcript and ask for focus, not a long list. The Public Speaking Coach starts with what already works, then gives the three changes that matter most, each with the evidence behind it and a short example line. You choose which suggestions to take. ### Can AI presentation coaching work for a whole team? Yes. The Public Speaking Coach covers workshops and webinars, sales talks and pitches, keynotes, panels and interviews, in person or on video. Anyone on your team can send their own material for a review, and each point is labelled as research, practitioner experience or its own reasoning, so people can weigh the advice for themselves. ### What should a public speaking practice plan include? Counted run-throughs with something specific to practise in each, a nerves routine, a drill for the questions at the end and a checklist for the day. The Public Speaking Coach builds that plan for your talk, then reviews your next rehearsal transcript to show what improved and what to work on next. ### What does an AI public speaking coach actually do? It reviews your outline, script, slide text or rehearsal transcript, gives you the few changes that matter most and builds a practice plan before your talk. Every point rests on research or proven practitioner advice, clearly labelled. ### Can it listen to a recording of my talk? It works from text. For a recording, paste the transcript and it reviews the structure, the timing and the questions you are likely to face. ### Will it write my speech for me? No. It suggests short example lines to show what it means, but the full script belongs to the Speechwriter and the deck to the Slide Creator. You keep the final say. ### Does it keep a copy of my talk? No. Your material is used for that answer only. It never stores your script, transcript or recording, and never puts your content into an outside search or tool. ### Can it help with stage fright? Yes, with an evidence-based nerves routine and plenty of practice. Nerves are normal. If fear is severe or lasting, it will kindly suggest talking to a qualified professional. ### Is the Public Speaking Coach available now? Not yet.
