Dunky AI - Practice your elevator pitch with Dunky AI
by•
Founders don't have time to work on a great pitch. So today, I'm excited to announce our launch of Dunky AI!
We built Dunky AI to help you speed up the process of creating a compelling pitch. Work with Dunky to get instant feedback on how well you're communicating the most compelling components of your startup and understand what you need to address.

@elizabeth_yin1 Loving this low-stakes way to polish a pitch, Elizabeth; super thoughtful for early founders grinding solo. One quick ask: what's the #1 pitch flaw Dunky catches most often that surprises founders?
@swati_paliwal It drills into the idea as well. It is able to scan competition from across the web and in our own datasets to determine if the idea is differentiated / unique. When I was a founder, my own startup idea was not differentiated, but it's hard to know what else is out there and who else is pitching something similar beyond the regular internet searching. Dunky can help illuminate that so you can address that.

@elizabeth_yin1 Oh snap! I love this! And you're a VC, so I love this even more, someone who sees pitches for a living created this! Awesome!
@mogabr thank you!
I’ve tried other pitch tools before, but this feels more interactive and actionable. It actually explains what to improve instead of generic tips
@anil_yadav38 thank you!
one question - does this only shares feedback or it also helps to rework on the pitch?
@nayan_surya98 great q! right now it only shares feedback incl what needs to be addressed... but a rework of the pitch would be even better. great idea and thank you!

Hey, this is pretty awesome!
Does it also help you challenge ideas and sales angles, or mostly just the copy and tone?
@ugo_builds it challenges differentiation / how to stand out / concerns about the business model & approach, etc.
This is clever. Most founders (myself included) struggle to tighten their pitch. How does the AI evaluate pitch quality — is it scoring clarity, conciseness, or audience fit? Would love to try this before our own launch.
@talal_bazerbachi2 thanks! It scores more heavily on the business itself vs the storytelling of the pitch. I.e. questions & concerns a VC would have. Things like business model, competition / differentiation, team's backgrounds, etc...
I would definitely use this! How long does it allow you to record? Asking because I'm wondering if this also work for meeting presentation.
@jasmin_v oh, I think it will only work for an elevator pitch. It will probably die after four minutes, which is my best guess. great idea!
Congrats on the launch! Is the feedback provided by Dunky static (a scorecard-style report) or conversational, meaning can founders go back and forth with Dunky to workshop specific sections like traction or market size?
@rephelper thanks! I think it should be fairly dynamic, but if the feedback is that it thinks the idea is in too crowded of a space, that won't change.
i kept getting this error so wasn't able to try it out "Speech recognition error: network"
@jibran_akhtar oh no - let me look into this. thank you for flagging!
@jibran_akhtar thank you! According to Dunky, the issue was probably:
-wasn't https://
-or using a non Chrome browser
-or bad connection (Google's servers fo the speech recognition is very sensitive)
-or corporate firewall or VPN
Possible it was one of these? Thank you for helping me debug!
@lukaa21 great question! I'm not sure - I would guess not. Feel free to try it and let me know what comes back!
the analyzer framing is interesting, does it tell you what to change and how, or does it surface problems and leave the fixing to you? those are pretty different products and I'm not sure which one this is from the page
