Poised Ai
Poised is a desktop communication coach for Mac and Windows that listens during your meetings and presentations, then gives you private feedback on how you sound and come across on camera. It analyzes speech patterns like filler words, hedging, clarity, confidence, energy, and empathy while you talk, so you can adjust in the moment without anyone else knowing the tool is running.
Beyond live coaching, Poised tracks your performance over time, surfaces top moments to learn from after each call, and builds personalized plans with exercises, challenges, and expert content. It can also display live speaker notes during meetings, crossing items off as you cover them, and generate meeting summaries with action items without adding a bot to the call.
The product is aimed at professionals who speak often in remote work: product managers, executives, founders, sales teams, marketers, designers, and people preparing for interviews. Poised also offers Shortcut, a Mac voice assistant for dictation with polished rewrites, alongside its core meeting feedback app. Companies such as Slack, Accenture, Dropbox, and Stanford appear on the site as users.

What does Poised analyze during a meeting?

How does Poised handle meeting and calendar data?
Poised states it does not sell personal information and points users to its privacy and security page for details. Calendar and meeting data handling is described in its privacy materials on poised.com.
