Poised vs Parley

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.

Walk into a difficult conversation knowing exactly what to say. Whether you're giving employee feedback, resolving workplace conflict, asking your boss for a raise, preparing for a salary negotiation, setting a boundary, or handling a tough relationship talk, Parley turns the situation into a personalized conversation plan. GET YOUR WORDS BEFORE THE MOMENT Describe what's going on — type it or just talk. Parley creates a Brief designed around your real situation, including: • A clear opening line you can actually say • The other person's likely perspective • The pushback you may hear and ways to respond • Talking points and traps to avoid • A Pocket Card for a quick glance before the conversation HOW IT WORKS • Describe the conversation by typing or speaking • Answer a few clarifying questions when more context would help • Get a free preview that shows how Parley understands the situation • Unlock the full Brief with Parley Pro • Save your Pocket Card and schedule the conversation • Log a short debrief afterward so your Patterns become more useful over time BUILT FOR REAL-LIFE COMMUNICATION Parley is useful for new manager and leadership moments, difficult employee feedback, workplace disagreements, deadline pushback, salary and promotion conversations, negotiation, family tension, relationship boundaries, roommate issues, and other high-stakes conversations where the right words matter. WHAT PARLEY IS NOT Parley is a preparation tool, not therapy, legal advice, or HR representation. It helps you prepare for hard but ordinary conversations; it does not make decisions for you or replace a qualified professional. If you describe abuse, coercion, self-harm, or danger, Parley stops the normal coaching flow and points you toward real help instead of conversation strategy. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your situations, People, Briefs, debriefs, and Patterns are stored on your device. There is no Parley account and no login. To generate a result, the relevant text — and voice audio when you use voice intake — is sent securely to an AI provider. Delete Everything in Settings wipes Parley's local app data at any time. PARLEY PRO Parley includes a free preview during onboarding. An active Parley Pro subscription is required to unlock full Briefs and continue generating them. Weekly, monthly, and annual options are available, with the price shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple ID subscription settings. Cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the paid period. Restore purchases anytime from Parley Settings. Parley is the focused preparation that turns “I don't know what to say” into “I know how to start.” Privacy Policy: https://parley.nbarwicki.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
