Poised: Conversation Practice
Crucial conversations & raise
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Practice the conversation before it happens. Rehearse difficult talks with realistic AI pushback, then get honest feedback on what worked and what to say better.
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.
