How to Record Founder Interviews Solo
You need conversational rhythm, but your co-host isn't available
The best content happens in conversation. But coordinating schedules, dealing with no-shows, and managing another person's availability kills momentum.
You want to record when inspiration strikes—not three weeks from now when calendars finally align.
Solo recording feels flat because there's no one to create the back-and-forth that makes interviews engaging.
Why existing solutions don't solve this
Notes don't talk back
Bullet points and outlines give you structure, but they don't create conversational flow. You still end up talking at the camera.
Teleprompters flatten delivery
Reading from a script makes you sound robotic. It removes the natural pauses, reactions, and follow-up thinking that make content engaging.
'Just practice' doesn't solve structure
Recording yourself multiple times without feedback doesn't improve the underlying problem: there's no one to guide the conversation.
The missing mechanism: Conversation creates clarity
Conversation isn't just about exchanging words—it's a cognitive feedback loop. When someone asks a follow-up question, your brain refines the idea in real-time.
This is why interviews feel more natural than monologues. The other person's questions give your thoughts shape and direction.
Without this mechanism, you're left guessing what's interesting, what needs more detail, and when to move on.

Olyetta is designed to solve the core problem: you need someone to talk with, not just talk at.
It asks follow-up questions, responds to what you actually say, and maintains the conversational loop that makes content engaging.
This isn't a prompt generator or a teleprompter. It's a system that actively participates in the conversation.
Asks follow-up questions
Reacts to your answers in real-time, digging deeper into interesting points instead of moving through a static list.

Knows when to let you elaborate and when to move on, creating the natural rhythm that keeps viewers engaged.
