What Quippy does
Quippy is a daily practice app for your social life. You run short, realistic practice conversations, like pushing back on a boss or talking during a first date, and get line-by-line feedback on what landed and what backfired. The curriculum adapts to each person's patterns, reshaping itself around their weak spots, ensuring steady improvement in the conversations that matter most.

Helps build social skills through daily practice
We're building Quippy, a daily social skills practice app. Users run realistic, short conversations - like pushing back on a boss or navigating a first date - and get direct, line-by-line feedback. The curriculum adapts to where they struggle most, personalizing coaching as they go. All product design centers around people practicing real-life social situations in a concrete, practical way.
San Francisco, CA, USA. That's where the company is based and will stay after YC.
We're building Quippy in San Francisco because it's where we're located. It's also where we can find product-minded talent and a strong early adopter market if we need to grow.
