Rehearse the conversation before you have it. A difficult conversation with your manager. Asking for a raise. Replying to a loaded email. Negotiating rent. Setting a boundary with someone you care about. Poised is an AI conversation coach that lets you practice difficult conversations before they happen. Rehearse what you want to say, face realistic pushback, and get practical coaching on what worked and what to improve. Your first 3 sessions are free. PRACTICE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS Pick the conversation you are facing or describe it in your own words. Poised plays the other person: your manager, landlord, colleague, friend, or someone you need to have a difficult conversation with. They have their own reasons. They push back. They do not simply agree because you asked nicely. Choose how challenging the conversation should be, from cooperative to difficult, and practice until you feel ready for the real thing. When you finish, Poised gives you a detailed debrief: • What you did well • What you could improve • Your strongest moment • Better ways to phrase the parts that did not land • Practical coaching for the real conversation SMALL TALK & CONVERSATION PRACTICE Not every conversation is high-stakes. Practice small talk for a networking event, party, new colleague, stranger in a queue, or someone you have not seen in years. The other person is friendly but not effortless. You learn how to ask better questions, keep a conversation moving, build on what the other person gives you, and leave naturally. Build stronger conversation skills through practice instead of memorizing scripts. COACH — WHEN YOU NEED THE RIGHT WORDS Some difficult conversations happen in writing. Tell Poised what is happening and Coach helps you work out what to say. Get a ready-to-send draft plus coaching on: • What to say • What to avoid • Why the approach works Then make it warmer, firmer, or shorter with one tap until the message sounds like you, not a robot. Use Coach for difficult emails, salary conversations, negotiations, boundaries, sensitive personal messages, and the moments when you know what you mean but cannot find the right words. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE POISED • Practice, not proofreading. Improve your communication skills, not just one sentence. • Realistic conversation practice. The other person can disagree, resist, question you, and push back. • Coaching that explains why. Understand what worked so you can use it again. • Work, money, and personal life. Practice conversations with managers, colleagues, landlords, friends, and people you care about. • Private by design. No account or login required, and your sessions stay on your device.

This update improves Practice and Coach, expands language support, refines the Premium experience, and includes privacy, reliability, and interface improvements. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-17 What's new in 1.3.0: - Practice comes first. Rehearsing a conversation is what Poised is for, so it is now the screen you land on. Pick the conversation you are facing, or describe it in your own words, and you are in. - Your first 3 sessions are free. No subscription needed to try Practice and Coach properly. - A shorter start. Three quick questions, including what usually goes wrong for you, and your debrief speaks to that instead of giving generic advice. - Coach has its own tab. Drafting a message is a click away when you would rather write it than say it. - Saved now keeps your past debriefs alongside your drafts, so you can see how you are improving. Thanks for using Poised. Say it well. ### 1.2.2 — 2026-07-31 What's new in 1.2.2: - Small talk practice. Rehearse casual conversation, not just high-stakes talks: a networking event, a party, a new colleague, a stranger in a queue, or someone you have not seen in years. - The other person behaves like a real one. Open questions get you further than closed ones, and silences are allowed to happen. - A kinder debrief for casual chats, focused on the questions you asked, how well you listened, and how naturally you opened and closed. - Privacy: refreshed disclosures. What you type is never used for usage insights, and only anonymous counts ever leave your device. - More reliable: automatic crash reporting so problems get found and fixed faster, plus stability polish throughout.
