Get Started

1. Get API Key

Sign up at app.toughtongueai.com
Go to Developer Portal → API Keys
Create and save your token

Never expose API tokens in client-side code. Proxy through your backend.

2. Create a Scenario

Use Scenario Studio or the API:

curl -X POST https://api.toughtongueai.com/api/public/scenarios \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Sales Coach", "ai_instructions": "You are a skeptical VP..."}'

3. Choose Integration

Iframe — Embed directly:

<iframe src="https://app.toughtongueai.com/embed/SCENARIO_ID" allow="microphone"></iframe>

API — Build custom:

// Create session
const session = await fetch("/api/tough-tongue/sessions", {
  method: "POST",
  body: JSON.stringify({ scenario_id: "SCENARIO_ID" }),
}).then((r) => r.json());

// Redirect to session
window.location = session.embed_url;
