Flirt: private conversation coaching
Flirt listens to an in-person conversation and suggests what to say next through your headphones. Choose Flirt, set up About you and Goals, pacing and tone, then tap the big button and let the other person speak first. It can give exact words or coaching in your own style, and Rehearse first lets you practice with an AI partner. Flirt needs a private headphone output, the phone microphone and a working AI allowance or key; a phone-number call has a separate announcement and consent flow.
Before you begin
- Connect headphones and select them as this iPhone’s audio output. Bluetooth pairing alone does not select the playback route.
- Place the phone where its microphone can hear both people. Flirt uses Room, even though suggestions play in your headphones.
- Allow microphone and speech-recognition access.
- Have an internet connection and available AI questions or your own configured key.
- Use Rehearse first in Flirt settings to try the coach before a real conversation.
Configure your coaching
- Touch and hold Flirt on the main screen and choose Settings.
- Open About you and enter information you want the coach to use.
- Open Goals, pacing and tone. Choose your Goal, Pacing and Tone.
- In Coaching Style, choose Exact words to repeat for a proposed line or Coaching for guidance you can phrase yourself.
- Review Silence duration before answering and Voice. Leave enough pause time for the other person to finish naturally.
Start a conversation
- On the main screen, tap Flirt.
- Tap the big button.
- Let the other person speak first so Reverbot can follow the turns.
- Wait for a suggestion when they finish. It appears under “SAY THIS” and plays in your headphones.
- Reply in your own voice, using the suggestion only if it fits.
Flirt follows the next turns automatically. There is no finished-talking button to tap after every sentence.
An example to try
If they say “I moved here recently and haven’t explored much,” wait for the suggestion before replying. With Exact words to repeat, use the proposed line only if it fits you. With Coaching, use the idea in your own words. Keep listening to the real person; a suggestion is optional and the AI can misunderstand tone or context.
Skip, stop or start fresh
Tap the Flirt card while a suggestion is playing to skip it, or use an enabled skip gesture. End Conversation stops the session. Returning shortly can preserve the current conversation; use New on the conversation screen when speaking with someone different. This avoids carrying one person’s context into another conversation.
Use Flirt on a call
Important: The person called hears an automated AI announcement and must press 1 before Reverbot listens. You confirm twice before the call.
- Tap the phone button, then Phone Call.
- Open Call a number and choose Both of you.
- Choose Flirt, then check the recipient and calling price.
- Complete both warnings and wait for the recipient’s agreement.
The mandatory announcement applies in every US state. Starting Flirt on the main screen does not connect it to a separate Phone or FaceTime call. See the Phone calls topic for the complete flow.
If it doesn’t work
- If the wrong person’s turns are followed, touch and hold Flirt, tap Settings › Goals, pacing and tone, then tap Following the wrong person — start over. Let the other person begin.
- If speech is missed, uncover the phone’s microphones and place it where both people can be heard.
- If suggestions arrive too early, increase How long it waits under Silence duration before answering.
- If a headphones message appears, select the headphones as the active output and restart after the route settles. A room speaker is not a private coaching output.
- If suggestions concern the previous person, use New to begin a fresh conversation.
