Record yourself pitching, transcribe it, paste it into AI for a tightened version.
Ask AI to write 3 versions: casual, professional, and bold.
Have AI flag jargon you should drop.

Try it!

Ask AI to explain pitch in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI Polishes Your Elevator Pitch in Under 10 Minutes" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check value prop against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
