Startup founder Interview Preparation Guide
Media training requires iteration, not one-off prep sessions
Getting comfortable with interviews means practicing repeatedly until your responses feel natural.
But booking mock interviews with real people is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to schedule.
You need a way to practice on-demand, get real conversational feedback, and iterate until your delivery is sharp.
Why the usual approaches fail
Static prompts don't adapt
A list of questions can't respond to what you actually say. They don't dig deeper or change direction based on your answers.
Talking to yourself has no feedback loop
Your brain needs conversational cues—questions, acknowledgments, follow-ups—to maintain natural delivery.
Video editing can't fix structural problems
You can cut out rambling, but you can't edit in the conversational rhythm that should have been there from the start.
Why conversational structure matters more than content
You can have great ideas and still produce flat content if the delivery lacks conversational rhythm.
The back-and-forth of conversation—asking, answering, following up—creates natural pacing that keeps people engaged.
This isn't about what you say. It's about how the conversation unfolds. And that requires another participant.
How Olyetta works: A structured conversation, not a script
Unlike teleprompters or note cards, Olyetta actively listens to your responses and adapts.
It asks clarifying questions, challenges assumptions, and guides the conversation toward depth—not just coverage.
The result is content that feels like a real interview, because it is one.
Dynamic questioning
Each question is based on what you just said, not a pre-written list. This creates genuine conversational flow.
Natural delivery cues
The AI gives you the feedback signals your brain needs—acknowledgment, follow-up, pacing—to maintain natural delivery.
Exportable transcripts
After recording, get a clean transcript, outline, and key hooks you can use for editing or repurposing.
