  2. During

    What you see

    Your report pushes back and the conversation drifts into old projects. You tap Thought Cue and open Talking points to return to the issue in one sentence. Breathe appears when you have talked for a long stretch, a reminder to leave room for their side.

  3. After

    What you review

    See how the objective went and which points came up, then carry what you agreed into the preparation for your next 1:1.

Common questions

Does Nuan assess my team member?
No. Nuan has no feature that assesses anyone else on the call. Its cues, Insights and Nuan Score are about your own communication, and Meeting Notes summarize what was said.
Is there a template for this kind of conversation?
Yes. The Hard conversation template starts you with three points: the issue in one sentence, its impact and what changes next. Edit them to fit the person and the situation.
Where is a sensitive conversation stored?
On your Mac, for as long as you choose, and you can archive or delete a session in Session History. Audio is streamed to Deepgram for live transcription and is not saved.

Privacy

No bot joins your call.

Nuan captures your microphone and your Mac’s sound itself, and only while a session is running.

Stored on your Mac

Your meeting preparation and the text Nuan reads from your files, along with transcripts, Meeting Notes and Insights. Files are never uploaded whole, and you choose how long sessions stay.
