๐ Hey PH community!
Soumya, and Vicky, co-founders of Poised here. We are excited to announce the launch of Poised 2.0, an AI feedback tool for your best meetings yet. Our mission is to help professionals from various fields communicate more effectively and break down the professional barriers that exist due to the way we communicate.
Personally, as a non-native English speaker and engineer, I experienced the growing importance of being effective in meetings as I took up leadership roles, but I didnโt see many options to help me. When leaving old jobs, I asked my managers what I could have done better, and it was always about communication - but that feedback felt too late.
After months of building and acting on beta-user feedback, weโre proud to share the new Poised with you today! We hope it will help you overcome the barriers in the workplace and improve your communication like it did for us.

@zachary_dewitt Thank you for your support. Live feedback during the meetings is killer to action in the moment and the new feedback after meetings on what you could have done better based on your goals. For eg - it recently told me how I could have talked more about the vision of the company when talking to an investor.
@zachary_dewitt Thanks for always being our #1 supporter! For me, it's the qualitative post-meeting feedback with personalized suggestions for next time!
Poised is such an awesome tool for anyone who wants to improve their speech patterns and word choices while in meetings. I have found it improved my verbal communication offline as well. Becoming more aware of the fillers words that I used really has helped me become a better speaker.
This tool looks great. As a customer-facing team member I've struggled to stay focused on meeting topics while also taking meaningful notes and action items. I love that Poised handles it for you (and great name)! I also love that it tells you how many filler words you've used - I'm always trying to improve my meetings and speaking skills. Great product!
@sarah_rabs Rock on Sarah! As a previous client-facing consultant myself, I can totally relate to that- and much of how you perform in your role is judged by how effective you are at leading meetings with both clients and internal team members. Good luck!
I have been really excited by what poised is up to. By integrating into our day to day they have seamlessly been able to boost productivity and attention to detail. By lifting the load off of our daily activities it allows us to do what we do best while keeping track of whatโs going on.
I've been a dedicated user of Poised for quite some time, and I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable it has been, especially as a non-native English speaker. It's quite disheartening to receive feedback suggesting to enhance communication - which, frankly, is far from constructive. That's where Poised has been a game-changer for me, with its real-time suggestions that never cease to amaze. Keep moving the needle!
@murad_abdulkadyrov@soumyamohan So glad you're finding the feedback from Poised to be more specific and actionable than the generic "enhance your communication" feedback you've gotten in the past!
@conrad_k@amandabranson Many job interviewees also love Poised to track their notes during the interview and get feedback from the call for the next interview. Thanks for supporting Poised!
@soumyamohan huge congrats to you and the rest of the Poised team on this major milestone. I absolutely love the value you folks are continuing to deliver with your product ๐ฅ
@tanayj92 We do too! We truly believe the best way to improve is in your real-life work scenarios, and getting feedback in the moment that you can implement on the fly.
@tanayj92 Thanks for your support! What's coming up soon is bridging the gap between suggestions based on past meeting feedback and applying them to your current meeting. In-context coaching is going to be more personalized and relevant!
@gil_dabah Thanks!! We use LLMs and our own tech to power the product.
Users love the live feedback during the meeting which also helps them make sure they covered their key points. Feedback after the meeting showing what they could have done better based on their goals is also very actionable for next time.
@gil_dabah@soumyamohan 100% on real-time feedback. It's a game-changer because Poised is in your actual meetings with you, so the feedback is much more actionable rather than in a fake or simulated practice scenario.
@gil_dabah I personally love the feedback after meetings about what went well and what to try for next time. Itโs more than just feedback on filler words but how strongly I lead a meeting or if I sound unstructured overall. Hope you get to check it out!
Congrats on the launch. The product looks super helpful.
Are there any other metrics or criteria that your product uses to track users' communication skills, except overuse of filler words?
@viktoria_zaiets Thanks! Filler words is just a start - along with indicators like how concise you were, questions you asked, hedging language, pace ec - Poised also provides qualitative feedback unique to each meeting based on the goals of that meeting.
@viktoria_zaiets@soumyamohan My favorite part is that it gives me feedback completely in the context of my meeting, and what I was trying to accomplish. Here's a snippet of some feedback I got from leading our last team meeting: "During the review and reflection on project objectives, you shared a lot of information but did not actively encourage others to contribute their thoughts or ideas."
@viktoria_zaiets We provide qualitative feedback! One of the things I was unaware of was how I don't transition well in between topics, so this makes the conversation less structured.
