Problem
Remote and hybrid meetings often suffer from poor self-awareness, leading participants to speak too quickly, use filler words, drift off‑topic, or neglect natural breathing pauses. This reduces clarity, confidence, and overall meeting effectiveness, especially when users lack real‑time feedback.
Solution
Nuan is a native desktop application that runs silently in the background and integrates with major video‑call platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, FaceTime, and Slack. Using on‑device AI, it continuously monitors speech patterns, pacing, filler‑word usage, topic relevance, and breathing cadence. When a metric deviates, subtle visual overlays—such as pacing pulses, breath‑wave icons, or filler‑word alerts—appear on the screen, prompting the speaker to adjust without breaking concentration. All processing occurs locally, ensuring that no audio recordings or personal data leave the user’s machine, thereby preserving privacy while providing immediate, actionable awareness.
Target Audience
Primary users are professionals who rely on frequent video meetings—such as remote workers, consultants, sales teams, and educators—who seek to improve their speaking presence and communication clarity.
