News scanning
The AI interviewer isn't generic — it's built from your reporter research, your topic, and your talking points. It knows the angles, the hard questions, and the red lines before the session even starts.
Voice Practice
Speak your answers out loud. The AI pushes back, redirects, and scores your message discipline in real time.
Video Avatar Practice
Face a live AI video avatar that looks and feels like a real on-camera interview. See yourself under pressure before it matters.
Choose your pressure level
Aggressive, neutral, or friendly mode. Run the same session multiple ways until you own the answer.
The workflow
Three inputs. Then Press Prep builds the full brief automatically.
Step 01
Enter the reporter's name, outlet, the story angle, and your strategic goal. That's it — three quick prompts.
Step 02
Press Prep automatically looks up the reporter's beat, recent stories, known angles, and social presence.
Step 03
Real-time headlines around your topic are surfaced and synthesized into a day-of news frame.
Step 04
Likely and hard questions are built from the reporter profile and topic. Talking points are grounded in your goals and approved language.
Step 05
Run a full text-based mock interview. Choose aggressive, neutral, or friendly mode. Bridge back. Stay disciplined.
Step 06
Paste the published story or broadcast transcript. Get a scored debrief on message alignment, clarity, discipline, quotability, and risk.
When a reporter emails you about an interview, just forward it to Press Prep. We’ll extract the details, build your full prep brief, and email it back — complete with talking points and practice link. No login required.
Perfect for when you’re on the go, in back-to-back meetings, or just need to get prepped fast from your phone.
