YC company profile
Helps build social skills through daily practice
Quippy is a daily practice app for your social life. You run short, realistic practice conversations, like pushing back on a boss or talking during a first date, and get line-by-line feedback on what landed and what backfired. The curriculum adapts to each person's patterns, reshaping itself around their weak spots, ensuring steady improvement in the conversations that matter most.
