Peitho doesn't just teach you what to say — it trains you to notice what's happening in a conversation before you react. That's the part that actually changes how you show up.
I walked into a salary negotiation the week after my first month on Peitho. The conversation felt different — I felt different. Got the number I wanted.
Sparring with The Guilt-Tripper persona was uncomfortable in the best way. It exposed patterns I didn't even know I had. Coach feedback is spot-on.
Peitho teaches real persuasion — strategic framing, charisma, negotiation, influence. But power without ethics is manipulation. Our framework is public, permanent, and non-negotiable.
Every concept is grounded in peer-reviewed research. No pop-psychology or unverified techniques.
Learn to persuade ethically and recognize when tactics are being used on you — both sides of the coin.
Freeze slots, partial recovery, no punishing streaks. The gym is built to build you up, not burn you out.
Our ethical guidelines are fully public. You know exactly what Peitho will and won't do — always.
What domains can I train in?
Salary negotiation, sales, leadership, conflict resolution, dating and relationships, parenting, manipulation defense, and more. New scenarios are added regularly based on our training curriculum roadmap.
How does real-time coach feedback work?
After each sparring exchange, the AI coach evaluates your response against the current skill framework — scoring faithfulness, technique usage, and emotional regulation. You get specific, actionable notes, not generic praise.
What is the ELO system?
Like chess ratings, your ELO score in each of 8 skill tracks changes based on session performance. It's a honest signal of where you actually stand — not where you hope you are.
