One-line (use verbatim)
James — an AI sales coach app for iPhone that reviews your real calls.
Short · one paragraph
James is an AI sales coach for iPhone. You hit record on your real calls; the moment they end, James coaches you on how you actually came across (delivery, objections, filler words), gives you rewrite drills, and keeps a per-person memory so you're briefed before the next call. No roleplay, and no bot joins the meeting.
Long · full boilerplate
James is an AI sales coach for iPhone, built for people who sell as part of the job. You hit record on your real calls, in person or on the phone. No bot joins in. The moment they end, James coaches you: how you came across (pace, energy, filler words), one thing you nailed and one thing to fix, and rewrite drills for the lines that landed flat. It builds a playbook for every person you meet, so you walk into the next call already briefed. There's no roleplay and no manager watching, and your audio stays in your iCloud. James launched on the App Store on 21 July 2026. It's a free download with an optional James Pro subscription ($179.99 a year after a 14-day free trial), built by a bootstrapped, two-person team in Oslo, Norway.

The story & newsworthy angles

Real calls, not roleplay

Most coaching tools score a script you rehearsed. James coaches the real, messy conversation: the objection you actually froze on. That's where selling is won or lost.

Consent by design

You hit record on your own phone. No hidden bot joins the meeting, the app prompts you to tell the room, and your audio stays in your iCloud.

Bootstrapped

Built and launched by two people with no outside funding. It was informed by reading roughly 700 App Store reviews of every sales-coaching app before building.

  • Why rehearsed roleplay doesn't fix the objection you actually froze on.
  • What ~700 App Store reviews reveal about what sellers really want from coaching.

  • Building and launching a bootstrapped AI app.
