Most people give 2-3 important speeches in their entire lives. A best man speech. A eulogy. A retirement toast. They have no practice, no framework, and usually 48 hours notice.
Every AI tool they try produces the same output — generic, cold, obviously templated. "I have known [name] for many years and in that time..." The kind of speech that makes a room go quiet for the wrong reasons.
The core problem isn't that people can't write. It's that they're staring at a blank page with no idea where to start.
CraftSpeech fixes this by interviewing you before writing anything. Instead of a blank prompt box, it asks the questions a real speechwriter would ask — your relationship, your specific memories, the tone you want, what you want people to feel when you sit down. The output is built from your actual stories, not generic filler.
What makes it different:
Generates 3 distinct drafts simultaneously, each with a different emotional register
20 speech types with type-specific question sets (a eulogy needs completely different questions than a best man speech)
5 writing styles applied at generation time — Storyteller, Comedian, Poet, Conversational, Classic
Zero-clichés filter running in the background
One-time payment, no subscription — $29.99 Basic, $49.99 Premium
What I learned building it:
Fake social proof destroys trust faster than no social proof. Removed placeholder metrics immediately.
The biggest conversion gap was showing zero sample output. People won't pay without proof of quality first.
Genuine Reddit answers in speech-related subreddits drive more targeted traffic than any directory submission. One helpful answer stays indexed for years.
One-time payment vs subscription was a deliberate call. Someone buying a eulogy speech at midnight is not looking for an ongoing relationship with a speech tool.
Honest status: Early stage, still acquiring first real users. Launched on Product Hunt this week.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback — especially from anyone who's had to give a speech and wished they had something like this, or anyone who sees an obvious gap I'm missing.
