Poise
Make every employee an instant expert — records nothing
Poise is a push-to-talk AI coach that makes every restaurant, café, bar, or retail employee an instant expert on your store. Hold a button, ask out loud, get a spoken answer in under 2 seconds — grounded only in your own menu and policies, never a hallucinated allergen or price. It records nothing: the mic is on only while held. Under a dollar a day per employee.
Hi PH 👋 I built Poise because of one moment every operator knows: a new hire freezes on a simple guest question, guesses, and gets it wrong.
Poise is a push-to-talk AI coach for restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops. An employee holds a button and asks — "is the carbonara gluten-free?", "what pairs with the ribeye?", "what's our return policy?" — and gets a spoken answer in under two seconds, in English or Spanish.
Two things make it different:
1) It only knows YOUR store. Answers come strictly from your uploaded menu/policies — never a hallucinated allergen or price. If it's not in your docs, it says "check with a manager."
2) It records nothing. The mic is on only while the button is held, then every track is stopped. No always-listening. No guest ever captured. Privacy is the architecture, not a toggle.
It's live, self-serve, and under a dollar a day per employee. The whole thing is a try-before-you-buy demo — talk to it right now, no signup: https://beyondpoise.com
Would love your brutal feedback. What would make you put this in your employees' ears?
how does it handle menu changes on the fly, like if a server adds a daily special an hour before service does it just update automatically or do you have to retrain it
love that the mic only listens while the button is held — such a thoughtful privacy choice for a workplace tool, and it probably makes staff way more comfortable actually using it.
How does it handle updates when the menu changes mid-shift, and does it work offline if the store wifi drops during a rush?
How does it actually keep answers accurate when you change menu items or prices regularly — do you have to retrain it or just upload an updated doc?
the privacy-by-design call here is really thoughtful. tying the mic to a physical button so it simply can't listen in the background is the kind of small UX choice that makes the whole product feel trustworthy instead of creepy.
How does it actually keep the answers grounded in just your menu and policies without finetuning a model on every store's docs, and does onboarding a new location take minutes or days?
asked it about a modifier on the lunch menu and got the right answer before i finished blinking. love that it doesnt store anything.
the privacy angle actually won me over, knowing it only listens while the button's held is a big deal for staff trust on the floor.
How does it actually handle menu updates day to day — like if I change a price or add a seasonal item, is that something I push manually or does it pull from my POS automatically?
