Debrief
Today, hackers and founders practice their pitch in a vacuum.
Core trick
Voice agents with distinct panel personas question a recorded three-minute pitch and return a structured evaluation of the story.
Description
Today, hackers and founders practice their pitch in a vacuum. They rehearse to a mirror, a friend, or a timer app, but not to the kind of panel that will actually judge them.
They get vague feedback ("tighten the story", "metrics feel off") instead of a concrete diagnosis of what's breaking their pitch.
Debrief gives them a realistic, always-on Demo Day room:
-Record or upload 3 minutes pitch
-Face a VC, domain expert, and a user advocate
-Walk away with an evaluation of your story
It's built for this hackathon's builders first, but it's useful for anyone who wants to turn "I think this sounds okay" into "I can present and communicate with real impact".

Known issue: the voice agents may delay to respond in a new session (cold start problem), try to reload.
README excerpt
# Debrief > Every founder practices the pitch. Nobody practices surviving the questions. --- Three judges. Eight minutes. One verdict. --- ## The Problem Nobody Talks About You've rehearsed your deck until the slides are muscle memory. You know your TAM. You know your unit economics. You've practiced the opening line forty times in the mirror. But you've never faced Alex. Alex is a VC Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. She's heard 400 pitches this year. She doesn't care about your deck. She wants to know why your go-to-market assumption is wrong — and she'll find the gap in under two minutes. Most founders discover this in the meeting that matters. **Debrief exists so you don't.** --- ## How It Works The session runs in three phases. --- ### The Brief Before the judges say a word, they read your world. You paste your project context. Upload your pitch deck. Debrief extracts the core: your problem, your solution, your target user — and loads it directly into each judge's memory. They won't ask you to explain what you built. They'll ask you to defend it.  --- ### The Room You recorded your pitch. Now comes the part nobody prepared you for.  **Alex** (VC Partner, Andreessen · Series A) will probe your go-to-market. **Dr. Morgan** (D
