Back to the exampleFor non-native English managers
Ripost asks you realistic meeting questions on a timer. It scores your structure (point, reason, example), counts your ums and suggests stronger English phrasing.
7-day free trial · Runs in your browser
Prepared presentations go fine. Live questions are different. You translate in your head, lose the thread, and look less competent than you are.
“By the time I figure out how to say it in English, the meeting has moved on.”
“When my director asks something unexpected, I blank. Then I panic.”
“I say ‘um’ and ‘like’ constantly in English. Never in my own language.”
“I sound junior in meetings, even though I know the project best.”
No scripts and no audience. Just the kind of question that catches you out, a timer, and honest feedback.
Exec review, standup, 1:1 with a report, or a client call. Ripost picks a surprise question you won't have rehearsed.
Speak into your browser mic with the clock running. Sometimes a follow-up comes next, just like a real VP.
See your structure, filler count and stronger phrasings. Answer the same question again and watch it get sharper.
Ripost trains unscripted answers, not rehearsed speeches. Every drill is scored on what makes a live answer sound confident.
Questions are written for managers: delays, budgets, team problems, priorities. Unpredictable follow-ups test whether you can hold your point under pressure.
Each answer is checked for point first, then reason, then example. Ripost flags where you buried the point or started rambling, so you build the habit.
Ripost counts every "um", "like", "you know" and "so basically" per minute, and shows which filler you lean on most.
After each answer you get workplace phrasing for what you were trying to say. Useful lines to reuse, instead of the same basic words.
Ripost is for you if
You were recently promoted to lead or manager
You now answer questions from executives and from your own reports, live, in English, every week.
English is your second (or third) language
You read and write it well, but speaking off the cuff is where you lose your thread.
Your problem is live answers, not presentations
Planned updates go fine. Unplanned follow-ups are what make you sound less sure than you are.
Ripost is not for you if
Both help you speak more English. Neither trains the specific skill of a clear 60-second answer to a question you didn't expect.

Many managers can expense Ripost as professional development. Cancel any time.
Your recording is used only to score your answer and is deleted after scoring. You keep your scores, filler counts and phrasing suggestions so you can track progress.
No. It scores structure (point, reason, example), filler words, timing and phrasing. Your accent is not what makes an answer unclear; a buried point is.
ChatGPT is a friendly conversation partner, but it doesn't put you on a timer, count your ums, or score whether your answer had a clear point. Ripost is built only for that.
One drill takes about two minutes: a 60-second answer plus feedback. Most people will do a few drills in 10 minutes, before standup or after lunch.
A browser and a microphone. Ripost is a web app, so there's nothing to install. A laptop with headphones works well.
Probably. At $19/month it often fits a professional development budget. We'll send an invoice you can submit.
You choose to continue on the monthly or yearly plan, or you stop. Cancel any time before the trial ends.
Point, reason, example. Fewer ums. Stronger words. Practice it daily until it's automatic.
