SpeakSense

• 

Most people don't struggle with important conversations because they have nothing to say. They struggle because pressure changes how they say it.

You can prepare the perfect interview answer and suddenly start rushing. You can know your presentation inside out and fill every pause with “um.” You can rehearse a pitch ten times and still lose your rhythm when the important moment arrives.

The problem with most communication tools is that they tell you what went wrong after it already happened. A recording shows you what happened, but leaves you to figure out why. A chatbot can critique your transcript or tell you that you should slow down.

But in a real conversation, knowing that you should have slowed down 10 minutes ago doesn't help you recognize and correct the behavior while it's happening.

SpeakSense is different because it coaches you in real time.

SpeakSense is an adaptive AI communication coach that listens, watches, and responds while you speak.

Using your microphone, camera, and Presage-powered physiological sensing, SpeakSense can follow changes in signals such as your speaking pace, pauses, filler words, delivery, visual behavior, and supported physiological measurements.

But sensing is only the first step.

The core of SpeakSense is its adaptive coaching loop.

Sense → Detect → Coach → Adapt → Learn.

If you begin speaking too quickly, SpeakSense can discreetly cue you to slow down.

If your answer becomes filled with unnecessary words, it can encourage you to pause and reset.

If your delivery begins changing during a difficult section, SpeakSense can recognize that pattern and adjust its coaching to what you need in that moment.

And because SpeakSense observes how you respond to those interventions, the coaching itself can become more personalized over time.

Maybe a pacing cue works for you.

Maybe being reminded to pause works better.

Maybe you don't need any intervention until your speaking rate crosses a particular threshold.

SpeakSense can learn those patterns.

That is what makes SpeakSense fundamentally different from simply recording yourself or having a conversation with a general-purpose AI.

Recording yourself tells you what happened. A chatbot tells you what you could do differently.

SpeakSense recognizes what's happening and helps you correct it while you're still speaking.

The goal isn't to replace the speaker or script every word. It's to help the speaker build awareness

We're starting with interviews, presentations, pitches, networking, and other high-stakes conversations where small changes in delivery can make a major difference. But the larger vision goes beyond practice.

SpeakSense is the beginning of an adaptive communication layer technology that learns how you communicate, understands when your normal patterns begin to change, and provides the right amount of guidance at the right moment.

Today, that experience can happen through your computer's camera and microphone. In the future, SpeakSense could connect with smart glasses, watches, earbuds, or a dedicated SpeakSense wearable to provide subtle adaptive cues during real-world communication.

The future isn't an AI that speaks for you. It's an AI that helps you become a better speaker yourself.
