Poised · Communication coach

For the message you've rewritten six times.

Describe the situation. Poised writes the message, explains what to say and what to avoid, and then lets you rehearse the whole conversation before you have it for real.

Poised at a glance

Draft

A ready-to-send message, plus the reasoning: what to say, what to avoid, and why it lands that way.

Practice

Role-play the conversation against an AI counterpart. Live coaching hints, then a debrief on how you handled it.

Small talk

Rehearse the casual part too — networking rooms, parties, people you have just met.

What people bring to it

The conversations that keep you up.

At work

Ask for a raise. Deliver feedback that lands without wrecking the relationship. Decline an offer. Send the email you've been avoiding since Tuesday.

Personal

Set a boundary with family. Deliver hard news gently. Apologise in a way that sounds like an apology rather than a defence.

Money

Negotiate rent, chase an invoice, request a refund, or haggle without the conversation going sideways.

Small talk

The networking room, the party where you know one person, the conversation that has to start somewhere.

Where your words go

You're typing the most sensitive thing you'll write this week.

Resignation drafts, arguments with family, salary numbers. That text deserves a shorter journey than most apps give it.

Everything stays on your device

Poised has no servers and no accounts. Your history is written to your phone and nowhere else — clear it in the app or delete the app and it's gone.

  • Nothing is sent until you tap Continue on the consent dialog
  • Requests route through OpenRouter to Anthropic's Claude models
  • Your text isn't used to build profiles, sell to anyone, or train models
  • Microphone access is requested only if you choose to dictate
  • Consent can be withdrawn at any time in Settings

Questions

Before you download

What kinds of conversations is Poised for?
Anything you'd rewrite six times before sending — asking for a raise, giving critical feedback, declining an offer, setting a boundary, apologising properly, negotiating rent, requesting a refund.
How is practice different from drafting?
Drafting gives you a message to send. Practice runs the conversation: the AI plays the other person, you reply in real time, you get hints during the exchange and a debrief on how you handled it afterwards.
Which languages does it support?
English.
Are my messages stored anywhere?
Not on any server — there isn't one. History is kept on your device only. Clearing history in the app, or deleting the app, removes it.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-up. Poised doesn't collect your name, email, contacts or location.
How much is it?
Three sessions are free. After that, Premium is $8.99 a month or $59.99 a year, and the annual plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Subscriptions are billed by Apple through your App Store account and can be cancelled there at any time.
