Adaptive social-skills practice with feedback
Quippy (YC F26) is a daily practice room for the conversations people dread. You pick a real situation, like disagreeing with your manager or starting a conversation at a party, rehearse it with a realistic scene partner by voice or text, and get honest, line-by-line feedback on what landed. The app is live on the App Store.
You will be our first designer. You will own how Quippy looks and feels on the iPhone, work side by side with engineering, and see your designs in people's hands within days.

Full-time. San Francisco preferred, remote work possible. Competitive salary and stock in the company.
Quippy is a San Francisco daily practice app that helps people build social skills through short, realistic conversation drills. It presents scenarios like pushing back on a boss or talking through a first date and provides line-by-line feedback on what landed and what backfired. The curriculum adapts to each user’s patterns and weak spots, focusing on private practice rather than social networking. Its goal is to help users gain practical social communication skills and confidence through repeated, private practice in realistic scenarios.
