Support for Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) 🎉 🚀

You can now connect your own model provider keys and run practice on your own quota. Grab a free Gemini key from Google AI Studio, or use your existing OpenAI and other provider keys. Why it matters: Most of you already have a key somewhere, free Gemini keys, company OpenAI accounts, unused credits. BYOK turns that into near-unlimited practice here. You can also orchestrate Anam and other avatar providers through the platform. How to start:

  1. Open Settings: https://lnkd.in/gMk86ek7
  2. Add your provider key (Gemini or OpenAI)
  3. Select the provider on your scenario and start practicing

Review Tough Tongue AI ?

Reviewers consistently say Tough Tongue AI is easy to use, realistic, and genuinely useful for practicing interviews, sales pitches, presentations, and other difficult conversations. Many highlight the wide range of scenarios, human-like voice interaction, clean UI, and feedback that pushes them to improve rather than simply accept answers. Several also describe practical team and hiring use cases, from manager training to applicant screening. The main caveat is that the newer coding interview experience still seems early, with some users noting crashes, delayed transcripts, and missing features in the editor.

📌

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!

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! 😜

I've been using Tough Tongue AI and it's honestly one of the most helpful tools I've come across lately. I tried the Two Sum coding scenario and explained my logic — but the AI didn’t just accept it. It pointed out that my approach wasn’t the most efficient and even gave a subtle hint to help me improve. Felt like a real interview coach pushing me to do better.

What I love is how many scenarios they’ve already built — from sales calls and interviews to performance feedback and even system design. The UI is clean and easy to navigate too.

Would really appreciate some extra time credits — especially since I’m currently job hunting and using it a lot to sharpen my skills. Definitely recommend it to anyone preparing for tough conversations or interviews.

I’ve been trying out Tough Tongue AI 3.0 and really like what it’s aiming to do. The voice-based coding interview idea is unique and the interactive editor makes practicing feel more real.

The editor is easy to use.This already feels like a solid tool for coding interview prep.Some bugs (occasional crashes, delayed transcripts), and I wish test cases were visible + auto-feedback triggered. Still early, but feels like it’s on the right track. Excited to see where it goes!

Tried Tough Tongue AI for sales, performance talks, and pitch training. Incredibly effective! Back in my pharma days at Cipla, I often noticed the challenges medical reps faced while pitching products to the medical fraternity. A tool like this could make a real difference helping MRs sharpen their messaging and build confidence. Tremendous potential for scalable training across the industry. Keep shining!!
