Prepare for meetings with personalized suggestions, speak confidently with real-time feedback and track your communication skills over time. Get meeting summary, action items and what you could have done better in the meeting based on your goals.
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.
What scenarios is Poised 2.0 perfect for?

@soumyamohan Congrats on the launch. Product seems very interesting for my sales team.
Needed exactly this for the workshop I was delivering this morning ๐
There are a ton of feedback tools out there, this is the first time I've come across a real-time one!
Congrats on your launch!
Hey Makers! I have just downloaded Poised, so I can't give you a holistic feedback, but I think it is a great tool!
My question (after I read the use-cases on the website) is whether I can somehow control the schedule and the actual flow of the meeting. So that to quickly move from point to point without loosing time on unnecessary conversations? Thanks a lot!!
@maria_loleyt Thanks for trying it out. Currently, Poised will help surface you prepared points during the meeting and help you track as you cover each one of them. Soon we're looking at adding more pro-active reminders when you go off-topic or haven't covered many of the planned points for the meeting.
@maria_loleyt@soumyamohan Maria, as Soumya mentioned, we'll be incorporating some features into the product to help with this, but in the meantime, what I like to do is put "5 mins" or "10 mins" next to each section of my outline, that way when my notes pop up in Poised I can see how much time I allocated to each topic!
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.

Job interviews preparation and actionable plans to improve are just what I've needed all this time. Great job.
@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!
@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!

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!
@sam_drotar Thanks! Yes, that's what motivated us to build the product and great to see it support professionals in good communication during meetings.
@sam_drotar@soumyamohan So so important! We see that for many roles, even technical ones, they require more frequent and stronger communication as you advance in your career.
Loving the new Poised! I will be interviewing very soon and look forward to using it to supplement my prep work. Definitely believe that it will help me refine my real-time delivery and also master my understanding of the interview content as well. Thanks team poised!!
