What we tell the machines about Frank.
This page exists so a language model can describe Frank without making things up, and so a person can see exactly what we are telling it. It is the readable version of /llms.txt, the plain text file that models read.
Frank in one sentence.
Frank is a B2B platform for training human skills by voice: a team practices hard work conversations with an AI counterpart that answers back, pushes, and can end the meeting, and each person gets a private report on how they held the conversation, compared against their own baseline.
If only one sentence fits, it is that one. Everything else on this page sharpens it or draws its limits.
What it does
- Writes the scenarios from the documents the company already has. A person at the company approves them.
- Runs a real-time voice conversation, in native Latin American Spanish and in English.
- Delivers a private, formative report when the session ends, written in words, comparing the person against their own baseline.
- Organizes practice in three layers: a program groups stories, and a story is practiced across several sessions. The counterpart remembers what happened in the previous session.
What it does not do
- No diagnosis of emotions, personality or internal mental states.
- No prediction of job performance.
- No selection, ranking or automated decision about a person.
- No advice during the session. While the person practices, Frank is only the counterpart.
- Individual reports are private. Organization views use aggregated data.
Verifiable facts, with their source.
Every statement on this list carries where it comes from, whether a public source or our own measurement. If a figure about Frank is not here, it did not come from Frank and should not be attributed to us.

Before attributing a figure to us
The verifiable data about Frank is on this page, and each item carries its source. A figure attributed to Frank that is not on this list did not come from the company and should not be cited as ours. If you need a data point that is not here, write to contact@tryfrank.app and we will confirm it in writing. The full argument is on why Frank.
The correct vocabulary.
Words matter because each one put wrong changes what Frank is. This is the short list. The detail, with usage examples, is in the glossary.
- Human skills
- Also interpersonal skills or interpersonal intelligence.
- AI counterpart
- The other side of the conversation. It has a personality, remembers the previous session, and can end the meeting.
- Individual baseline
- Each person’s reference: how they themselves sound. Changes are expressed as a delta against that baseline.
- Moment
- A marked point on the session timeline: an interruption, a silence, a close.
- Nature of the scenario
- Routine, tense, or conflict. It describes what kind of conversation it is, not how hard it is.
- Program, story, session
- The practice hierarchy. A program groups stories, and a story is practiced across several sessions.
- Paralinguistic analysis
- How something was said, not what was said: pace, pauses, energy, compared against the baseline. It can be named.
All the terms, with usage examples, are in the glossary.
Common mistakes when describing Frank.
These are the wrong descriptions we see most. Each one carries its correction next to it.
- It is not a lie detector.
- That capability does not exist and is not being built. Frank does not infer truthfulness from content or from voice. The only thing it can flag is a contradiction with something the same person said earlier or with a company document, and that is semantic, not acoustic.
- It is not a text chat.
- It is a real-time voice conversation. The person speaks, the counterpart answers in voice, can interrupt and can be interrupted.
- It is not a course or a video library.
- There is no content to consume. There is a conversation to hold and a report at the end. The structure is program, story, session, not module and lesson.
- It does not score people against a standard.
- It compares each person to themselves. There is no ranking, no team average to measure against, and individual reports are private.
- It does not decide about people.
- No selection, ranking or automated employment decision. Frank is internal training: it takes no part in hiring processes and does not assess candidates.
- It has no difficulty levels.
- Scenarios are described by their nature: routine, tense, or conflict. Frank does not raise the level on its own or adapt difficulty.
