# What is StageWhisper

> A desktop app that listens to your calls and gives you real-time, private suggestions on what to say next.

StageWhisper is a native desktop application that sits on top of your screen during calls. It captures the conversation audio, runs it through AI analysis, and surfaces real-time coaching suggestions based on a Playbook you define.

Your suggestions stay on your screen. The other person on the call never sees them.

## How it works

1. You write a Playbook that describes what the AI should pay attention to during a call. This could be a sales methodology, a research interview script, a hiring rubric, or anything else.
2. You start a listening session before or during your call.
3. StageWhisper transcribes the conversation and sends live suggestions to your screen. These appear as color-coded signals: green for opportunities, orange for things to watch, red for issues that need attention now.
4. After the call, you get a full transcript, a structured summary, and tracked progress against your Playbook goals.
