Valoquent · summer 2026

CONVERSATION IS A CRAFT.Now you can practice it.

Speak. The meter is live.

We measure every skill we want to get better at, except the one we use most. Valoquent is a live feedback loop for the way you think out loud: clarity, depth, follow through, presence. Talk with figures from history. Watch yourself in real time.

Valoquent app homescreen showing the live conversation meter
i. Greeting

Choose a mind.

Six historical figures. Each tuned to talk the way they actually talked. Marcus Aurelius is not Cleopatra is not Einstein. The voices are tuned, not auto-generated.

Pick one. The conversation begins. The meter starts at fifty.

From here, what you do next moves the score.
ii. Surface Skim

"Did you win a Nobel Prize?"

A factual question. Something you could have looked up. The meter sees that immediately and does not pretend otherwise.

Score 52. Cool slate. The neurons fire scattered. SMR-wave territory. The conversation has not started yet.

The meter rewards substance, not performance. Asking what you already know does not move it.
iii. Engaged

"What changed for you between 1905 and 1915?"

A question about transformation, not facts. The meter rewards questions that push toward analysis.

Score 73. Warm copper. Beta waves, focused activation. The conversation is now alive. Einstein is going to give you something he had to think about.

Twenty-two behavioral signals run on each utterance. The score updates in under a millisecond.
iv. Deep Dive

"When you imagined riding a beam of light, were you afraid of what it meant?"

A question rooted in interior life, anchored in something specific he actually said. The meter recognizes follow-up depth.

Score 88. Deep teal. Alpha-Theta cross-state. The brain regions where deep thinking and emotional integration meet. This is what a great conversation feels like from inside your own head.

Over a few sessions, you start to feel the meter move before you look at it.
v. Memory

Characters remember you.

The session ends. Marie Curie remembers what you said about your sister last time. Marcus Aurelius picks up where you left off about your daily ritual. The relationship carries forward.

Score 92. Blazing gold. Flow state. The conversation has become permanent. You are building, not starting over.

Conversation is the only educational activity with no feedback loop. Until now.

How it works

The meter shows you. No teacher required.

Three pieces. One feedback loop that conversation has never had before. The novelty is not the AI. The novelty is that the score is shown to the speaker, not to a dashboard.

i.
The Meter

Twenty-two behavioral signals score every utterance in under a millisecond. Five neural-state zones, built on published methodology (Ghazarian et al., AAAI 2020, 0.85 correlation with human judgment). The score is live, visible, and yours.

ii.
Living Memory

A two-layer disclosure system, global emotional tier and per-topic depth, means the conversation opens at the pace trust actually opens. Per-turn memory, disclosure gating, and 22-signal scoring run beneath every exchange. Characters remember you.

iii.
Six Distinct Voices

Each character is tuned to speak the way they actually spoke. The texture is the lesson. Flow zones and retrieval-practice research drive retention. Scores accumulate across sessions, not just within them.

Try a question

Score one of yours.

Type a question you might ask Einstein. The meter scores it the way it would in a real session. Substance over performance. Listening over holding forth.

The meter starts every session at 50. What you do next moves it.
The six

Six minds. One conversation at a time.

Each character is tuned to talk the way they actually talked. The question they would most want you to ask is what they will tell you first.

Marcus Aurelius
"On what hour of the day did your duty feel heaviest?"
Marie Curie
"Did you ever look at a glowing element and feel afraid?"
Frederick Douglass
"Which of your speeches did you not believe until you spoke it aloud?"
Albert Einstein
"When you imagined riding a beam of light, were you afraid of what it meant?"
Leonardo da Vinci
"What did you draw in margins that you never showed anyone?"
Cleopatra
"Whose counsel did you trust least and listen to anyway?"
Built on real ground

The meter is not a heuristic.

The 22-signal scoring model is built on published methodology. The memory architecture is grounded in Aron 1997 and Altman and Taylor 1973. The partnerships are live.
