Rehearse the Call Before You Dial

murmur lets you practise phone conversations that matter — job interviews, medical appointments, salary talks — against a voice AI that pushes back. Hang up, try again, note what went wrong.

Key Features

  • Real voice AI you can interrupt, push back against, and hang up on
  • 40+ built-in scenarios, plus custom ones you write yourself
  • Transcripts and feedback after every call
  • Progress tracking so you can see which scenarios still make you nervous

Why murmur?

The thing that makes difficult calls hard is the first-draft effect: you say the worst version on the real call because you've never said it out loud before. murmur lets the real call be the second or tenth draft.

Common questions

Can I use murmur for mock interviews?
Yes, mock interviews are one of 40+ scenarios. Doctor calls, salary negotiations, and other difficult conversations too — the AI asks follow-up questions and pushes back.
Does it help with phone anxiety or social anxiety?
That's the core use case. The real call goes better when it's the second or tenth draft instead of the first one.
What AI voice does murmur use?
ElevenLabs voice AI — the kind you can interrupt, push back against, and hang up on mid-sentence. Not a scripted chatbot.
Can I write custom scenarios?
Yes. Write your own (the ones that only apply to your life) or start from one of the 40+ built-ins.
