What they're building

Rhetorich.ai is a human-and-AI communication coaching platform built specifically for lawyers, analysing spoken delivery for client meetings, courtroom arguments and negotiations. It records or uploads speeches and returns instant feedback on filler words, pause usage and confidence, structured around a research-backed framework called the 'Big 6', or CLAPPS.

Why now

Legal tech has largely focused on drafting and research, leaving spoken performance — where cases and clients are actually won — underserved. As AI feedback tools mature, applying them to persuasion and courtroom delivery is a natural next frontier.

The backstory

The platform appears to have evolved from MySpeaker's broader public-speaking tool, which was grounded in rhetoric research and involved partners like SILO AI and the University of Tampere. The company has now narrowed its focus to the legal sector.

Why this team

Founded by Johan Sjöstrand, the company builds on a framework the team says was developed with researchers and speakers, including MySpeaker Rhetorich concept owner André Noël Chaker. Its emphasis on isolated data storage and no AI training without consent suggests it takes the legal field's confidentiality demands seriously.
