Poised
Poised is a meeting assistant that coaches your speaking during live video calls on Mac and Windows. It listens to your audio locally and surfaces real-time nudges on filler words, pace, confidence, and energy while you talk, without sending a bot into the room.
Most meeting tools record and summarize after the fact. Poised is built for mid-call adjustment: alerts stay private to you, speaker notes tick off as you cover agenda items, and post-meeting summaries land without a notetaker joining Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, or Teams.
The product fits product managers, executives, sales reps, and interview candidates who want spoken-communication feedback tied to actual calls. Poised claims compatibility with 800+ communication tools and positions itself as a private coach rather than a shared transcript service.
