# SpeechTurn

> SpeechTurn is a pre-conversation intelligence system for hosts of serious conversations: podcast hosts, panel moderators, interviewers, fireside hosts, journalists, comms teams, and founder-led media teams.

SpeechTurn is not a generic AI question generator. It helps a host understand the room before the first question: the people, format, audience, stakes, likely answer paths, useful tensions, watchouts, and places where the conversation may need recovery.

The primary product artifact is the Host Brief: an opening move, warm-up cadence, first big question, conversation moves, follow-up ladders, recovery handles, pivots, and a closing move. Behind that sits a Full Prep Brief for deeper room understanding and an optional Deep Brief for response paths and appendix-level detail.

Core principle: give the host plays, not a script. SpeechTurn prepares the host to ride the conversation, not control it.
