I spend much of my time talking about how research, innovation and new technology should reach society. This year I tested my own advice and built something myself (again), evenings and weekends, one commit at a time (helped with AI).
Stanzeo is a tool for people who give talks. It helps you structure the argument, gives honest feedback on the flow, and lets you rehearse card by card against the clock, so you know the talk fits the slot before you step on stage. The AI suggests, you decide: every card stays yours to rewrite, reorder or throw out. I built it because after years of giving talks, the structure was still the thing I fixed the night before most of the time.
Today it is officially live. The full story is in the post on the Stanzeo page, and you can try everything for free for two weeks at stanzeo.com, no payment details asked.
If you give talks regularly, I would value your critique far more than your congratulations.
And if you have used it please send me a picture of you on stage where you give that great talk with the help of Stanzeo!
