## What is Poise?

Your voice is powerful. So is your privacy.

Poise is the only AI communication coach that lives entirely on your iPhone. No internet required. No audio uploaded to the cloud. No recordings on anyone's server but yours. Every word you practice stays on your device. Always.

THREE WAYS TO TRAIN

Monologue Mode: Solo practice for presentations, speeches, and impromptu responses. A live filler counter tracks "um," "uh," "like," and more in real time with color-coded urgency so you can self-correct on the spot. When your target time is up, a banner signals you to wrap up naturally.

Professional Conversational Mode: Two-way dialogue for interviews, sales pitches, negotiations, and conflict resolution. Poise's AI takes on a distinct persona: a skeptical buyer, a hard-line negotiator, a frustrated colleague. Realistic resistance that builds real-world readiness.

Social Mode: Practice the conversations that matter most in everyday life, from small talk and first dates to making friends and networking. Scores warmth and naturalness instead of formal metrics, so you build genuine interpersonal confidence, not just presentation polish.

WHAT POISE MEASURES

- Filler words (um, uh, like, you know, plus any custom words you add)
- Speaking pace with a color-coded pacing timeline
- Clarity, conciseness, and confidence
- Vocabulary richness
- Volume stability and pitch variety
- Engagement, warmth, and naturalness in conversational sessions

DEEP ANALYSIS, INSTANT REPLAY

Every session is recorded and fully replayable. Tap any dot on the filler timeline to jump to that exact moment. Tap any sentence in the transcript to replay how it actually sounded and get an AI rephrase suggestion on the spot. A focus callout at the top of every results screen surfaces the single most important thing to work on next.

STRUCTURED PROGRAMS

Five multi-day coaching programs with day-by-day objectives:
- 7-Day Confidence Builder
- Filler Word Detox
- Interview Ready
- Executive Presence
- Social Confidence

DAILY CHALLENGE

A fresh AI-generated challenge every day, rotating across all practice modes so you build well-rounded skills, not just your comfort zone.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

A full Progress Dashboard charts your improvement over time: clarity trends, filler density, pace consistency, vocal delivery scores, and personal bests. A weekly AI Insights card generates a coaching report based on your actual sessions.

100% PRIVATE. ALWAYS.

Poise uses on-device AI for speech-to-text, language reasoning, and voice synthesis, all processed locally on your iPhone using the Apple Neural Engine. No subscription to a cloud service. No privacy policy that lets your voice data fund someone else's AI training. What you say in Poise stays in Poise.

Download Poise and start your first session in under a minute.
