Poised: Conversation Coach

Practice the conversation before it counts. Speak your side, face realistic pushback, then get a private debrief grounded in your own words.

Say the hard thing before it matters.

Poised is a private, voice-first rehearsal coach for interviews, boundaries, negotiations, feedback, relationship talks, and other conversations you do not want to improvise.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick one of 45 authored scenarios or bring your exact situation with Pro.
2. Prepare the outcome, stakes, opening, and fallback.
3. Speak naturally while Poised plays the other person and pushes back.
4. End when ready and get a debrief grounded in your own words: what worked, what to sharpen, and the next line to try.

PRACTICE REAL PRESSURE Rehearse asking for a raise, negotiating an offer, handling interview follow-ups, giving difficult feedback, setting a boundary, discussing debt, ending a relationship kindly, advocating at the doctor, cancelling a stubborn service, delivering a toast, and much more. Choose Gentle, Realistic, or Pro-only Tough pressure.

COACHING WITH SUBSTANCE Every authored scenario has a specific what-good-looks-like rubric. Five plain-language field guides cover BATNA and anchoring, Radical Candor, Nonviolent Communication, STAR stories, and boundaries. Delivery feedback helps you notice pace, pauses, filler words, and hedging—not just the text of your answer. Share a win card after a great rehearsal — your score and coached next line, never your words or audio.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio never leaves your device. During an active rehearsal, transcript text is sent for coaching, but Poised keeps no server transcript archive. AI processing is configured for zero retention. Your rehearsal history stays on your device. Poised does not use ad tracking.

Poised is communication-skills coaching for everyday conversations. It is not therapy, medical, legal, or emergency advice.
