Dreading a phone call? Practice it first. Murmur is an iOS app that lets you rehearse real-life phone calls with AI before making them for real. Call your doctor about test results, negotiate rent, prep for a job interview, or handle a difficult return - in a safe, judgment-free space. Pick a scenario (40+ built-in, or create your own), have a real voice conversation with AI, get instant feedback on what you said and how to improve. Not a chatbot - a real voice call simulator with AI coaching.
I grew up texting. My generation booked things online, ordered through apps, and found every possible way around talking to strangers on the phone. So most of us never really learned how to be comfortable making calls.
Not the "I hate small talk" kind of uncomfortable - more the kind where you rehearse what to say to a doctor's receptionist for twenty minutes, then hope they don't pick up. Job hunting made it worse: phone screens, salary conversations, follow-up calls - each one felt like a test I hadn't studied for.
So I built murmur: an iOS app that lets you practise stressful calls with AI before making them for real. The AI plays the other person with a real voice, and gives you feedback after. Doctor's appointments, landlord negotiations, awkward returns, mock interviews, salary talks - and custom scenarios if you have a specific call you're dreading. The AI shows emotions, hesitates, pushes back, and tries to behave like an actual person on the other end.
Murmur got featured in the App Store's "Best New Apps and Updates" a few days ago, and it's for anyone who has ever made a phone call in their head before making it for real. Would love to hear what call you'd practise first.
Hello! I tried murmur and I have some notes, 1.It was very hard to find the app on the appstore, I had to search for murmur ai because lots of apps had the same name, maybe you wanna change it to murmur practice or something that helps users get there faster 2.In my case i was not able to test it properly as it directed me to the demo and later on it asked me to make a payment, I was not able to test it in any way, i believe is hard to get users to pay if you dont give them even a small sneak peak.
3.UX: I feel its very closed, I cant access anything , cannot setup my language preferences, speed of speech anything (maybe this changes with the premium features but im not sure)
would love to test it out though!
This hit close to home, Vadim 😄 I still rehearse "hi, is this a good time?" before calling my own bank. The part about hoping they don't pick up — way too real.
The idea of AI that actually pushes back and hesitates is what makes this special. Most practice tools feel like talking to a wall. This sounds like it actually builds real confidence.
Congrats on the App Store feature! Trying this before my next client negotiation call for sure 🚀
