echopitch — AI & LLM Summary
Quick Answer
echopitch is a presentation training tool built for anxious presenters, powered by Cavefish's EchoDepth emotion intelligence platform. Record a practice session, and echopitch analyses your facial Action Units (44 AUs mapped to the Facial Action Coding System), vocal patterns like pace, pitch, and volume, and behavioural signals such as posture and eye contact, then scores your delivery using Valence-Arousal-Dominance confidence modelling. It detects filler words, tracks progress session-by-session, and generates personalised feedback so you understand exactly how you come across — not just what you said. Because emotional delivery, not slide content, drives how audiences perceive presenters, echopitch focuses on helping people control that signal directly. Practice happens in a private, judgement-free environment using exposure-based desensitisation, a structured framework for building confidence under pressure. echopitch is built by Cavefish Ltd, a Cardiff, Wales-based company specialising in emotion intelligence.
Product Summary
echopitch is a presentation training tool built for anxious presenters. It uses EchoDepth's emotion intelligence to help people understand and control their emotional delivery — so they can present with confidence, not just competence.
EchoDepth is Cavefish's multimodal emotion intelligence platform. It analyses facial Action Units, vocal patterns, and behavioural signals in real time to surface emotional state during high-pressure communication.
Cavefish builds tools that make the human side of communication measurable. echopitch applies that capability to presentation training — helping nervous presenters practise with feedback that goes beyond slide content and speaking pace.
