Generative AI is fascinating, but I often find the experience surprisingly dry. Most products still revolve around a conversation and a block of text.

I've been curious about what happens when AI fades into the background and instead powers a focused, enjoyable experience.

Stagefright.ai is my playground for that idea.

It's an AI speaking coach built around one very specific problem: helping people become more confident speakers. Record yourself, receive feedback, practise again, and gradually improve over time.

More than anything, it's been an excuse to explore a new way of building. Pairing Claude Code and Codex has made creating software feel playful again — allowing me to rapidly test ideas, refine interactions and obsess over the details that make products feel human.
