Poised

What Poised is

A speaking coach that works while you are talking. It listens to your own microphone during a call and gives you feedback only you can see, along with live notes that cross items off as you cover them.

Unlike a meeting recorder, nothing joins the call: the summary and action items come from your side of the conversation.

What you can do with it

• Get feedback on clarity, pace and filler words during a call
• Follow live speaker notes that update as the meeting runs
• Produce a summary and action list afterwards
• Track your delivery over time
• Practise before an important presentation
• Work without adding a bot to the meeting

Who it is for

• Managers and salespeople in frequent meetings
• People who present to clients regularly
• Anyone working on how they come across on calls
• Interview candidates practising delivery

What to watch out for

• The official site states Poised is shutting down on 8 October 2026, so it is not a long-term choice
• It processes what is said in your meetings, so check what is recorded and where before using it on confidential calls
• Other participants should know if any tool is analysing a meeting, depending on where you are
• Feedback is about delivery, not about whether what you said was right
