Reviewers mostly see Tough Tongue AI as a practical, easy-to-use tool for practicing high-pressure conversations, especially interviews, sales pitches, presentations, and manager discussions. They repeatedly praise the realistic voice experience, intuitive UI, broad scenario library, and useful feedback that pushes users to improve rather than just respond. Several non-technical users say it is simple to set up and customize, and some teams use it for screening or training. The main caveat is that the newer coding editor still feels early, with reports of occasional crashes, delayed transcripts, and missing feedback features.
Tough Tongue AI
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Ajitesh, co-founder of Tough Tongue AI.
I built Tough Tongue AI to help people get better at tough conversations: interviews, negotiations, and especially sales. Some of these are repetitive but critical, and you can't keep up with all of them, so the agent steps in and runs them for you. Others are the ones that really matter, where it coaches you to show up sharper.
Being tough - but effective - is essential for sales calls. On one hand you have to really listen to your customer and understand their pain points and speak in their language, while on the other, you need to maximize their value to your business AND be mindful of building a long-term relationship.
To that end, today we're launching Tough Tongue AI for Sales: an AI sales team for SMBs that helps before, during, and after the sales conversation.
Before the call:
Reps can roleplay realistic buyer conversations on phone, Zoom, Google Meet or within your CRM or sales hub
Teams can practice and learn to respond to objections, discovery questions, pricing pushback, and interruptions during demo flows
During the call:
AI agent can call your customers as part of pre-sales or reminder, demo your product on Meet/Zoom, and book next steps
Brand new: “Truely” (our take on @Cluely) gives live help during meetings by pulling supporting facts from product docs, tickets, Linear, CRM, and other tools so you can stay in flow without losing context
After the call:
Audit sales recordings or existing transcripts: Tough Tongue shows what worked, what was missing, where the deal stalled, and what to improve next
Even though Tough Tongue agents can answer inbound calls and call leads, our goal isn’t to replace the human closer. It is to make the sales conversations easier, faster, and more successful :)

As a heavy dogfooder, here are a few tweaks to sales process that has worked for me:
Switched to reverse demo. This is especially useful for new and spread-out products like us. The goal is to deliver small wins for customers by solving their problem in 15-30 min and familiarize them with the platform. To prep for this I wrote a skill (open sourced), which can deep research prospects, generate the reverse demo prompt, and feed the context to Truely so I have live support during the call if I need :) Huge confidence booster.
Second, automated the product demo call on website where our AI agent does product demo 24*7 in prospect's preferred language on Google Meet. This has delivered 4X more meetings and engagement with leads when they need it - instantly, across time zones, even when I am asleep :)
Third, create roleplay from slack. I have skill for Tough Tongue AI scenario creation installed in my Codex and Claude that I can use from slack to do prospect research and create roleplay for meetings tomorrow. Even a one spin before the meeting gives me a lot of confidence.
Happy to chat more on this, and definitely recommend trying these out.

I’ll be here all day answering questions. Thank you for checking us out!
For teams that want lower usage costs, we also support BYOK: bring your own Gemini and OpenAI keys and use Tough Tongue at 1 cent per minute (lowest in industry).
Oh and to celebrate our launch - I’m pleased to offer a 50% discount until 30th June 2026. Use code PH50 at checkout!
@Cluely @aj_123 huge congrats on the launch, so glad you explicitly stated the goal isn't to replace the human closer. sales tools that try to fully automate the entire pipeline always feel incredibly robotic, but using ai as a live coach during the call is the sweet spot.🙌
Raycast
Sales enablement usually feels pretty awkward: it's either generic training content, or call reviews after the moment has passed.
@aj_123's approach for Tough Tongue earns its namesake: it’s closer to a quick-witted sparring partner for SMB sales teams. You get to role play before the call, get live help during the meeting, and a call audit once it's over.
Some else that's new: “Truely” (their in-call assistant modeled after Cluely), can pull from context while the call's happening — not to deliver vague chatbottery, but to help demo, qualify, and secure the next meeting.
It's free to start, with 50% for 2 months with their Product Hunt launch deal!
If you’re doing founder-led sales or trying to get your team sharpened up on calls, have you considered an agentic tongue lashing? You might be surprised! 😜
Tough Tongue AI
@chrismessina Chris. This means a lot, especially because you’ve seen the product and the story evolve up close.
Your insights have helped us how we talk about the product and showcase to world (including our landing page).
Really grateful for your help in this whole launch process. And yes, we’ll try to make every agentic tongue lashing useful, not traumatic 😄
Really like the direction you're taking by covering the entire sales lifecycle.
How does Tough Tongue AI measure whether an agent is actually improving over time? Do you track metrics like conversion rates, objection handling
Tough Tongue AI
@shantanusewu Yes, but we think about “improvement” at 3 levels:
Business outcomes: response time, connect rate, qualified leads, demos completed, meetings booked, follow-up completion, and where available, downstream conversion. That's what most our customers care about post pilot.
Conversation quality: did the agent ask the right discovery questions, handle objections correctly, follow pricing/qualification rules, know when to escalate, and keep the buyer moving to a clear next step.
Learning loop: every call can flag missing knowledge, weak objection handling, confusing product docs, or new buyer patterns. The agent proposes updates, but the human approves what actually becomes part of the playbook.
Hope this helps!
Giving honest feedback is hard, especially when you don't want to damage a relationship. I like that Tough Tongue AI tackles a very human problem instead of just another productivity use case. I'm curious, what kind of conversations do people practice the most with it?
When Truely pulls context from CRM and docs during a live call - how fast does it surface the info? Curious if there's any lag that might break the flow of the conversation.
All the best for the launch @aj_123 & team!

@parekh_tanmay Thanks so much Tanmay! We should connect some time to explore we can collaborate and work some project :)
Smart! Will surely give it a try!

@ruvik_milkis Thanks so much Ruvik! If you have a specific sales flow, demo, or lead follow-up workflow in mind, send it over and I’d be happy to help you set up the first agent.
