Knows what comes next.
Whispers it to you.
A live sales coach that sits in your Google Meet calls, listens to both sides in real time, and surfaces a one-sentence script for what to say next — before the moment passes. Then it emails you a structured debrief with a ready-to-send follow-up.
You don't lose deals in the proposal. You lose them in the second the prospect drops an objection, a signal, or a stall — and you default to a generic answer.
Every ~12 seconds Cue looks at the last 90 seconds of transcript. Silence is preferred over filler. When a buying signal, objection, stall, or pacing drift appears — a card lands in your peripheral vision with the exact line to say next.
A Chrome extension captures your voice and the prospect's voice separately, streams them to Deepgram with multichannel STT. Channel 0 is you, channel 1 is them. No diarization guesswork.
Looks at the last 90 seconds of transcript and decides whether anything is worth flagging. Cards are tagged: ask · objection · signal · pacing · next-step · risk · estimate.
When the prospect drops a trigger phrase — "we're shopping around", "we raised", "let me think about it" — or when you say something you shouldn't, the coach is invoked immediately, not on the next 12s tick.
Before the call connects, Cue scores the prospect from booking-form data and generates a 4-line briefing. Colour-coded GREEN / YELLOW / RED. Injected into the live coach's prompt so it doesn't waste your time asking questions you already know the answer to.
Form fills in 30 seconds. Each field maps to a weight from your own scoring rules. Score: +7 → GREEN.
When scope becomes clear, a sticky cost panel appears above the regular advice. Your hourly rate, your feature anchors — Cue does the math. Show the range so you can defend it on the spot, not after the call.
Across founder-led sales, the single highest-impact moment is the price question. "I'll send you a quote" sounds professional. It's the kiss of death — the prospect leaves with no anchor and starts talking to your competitors.
You click Stop coaching. Within minutes an email lands in your inbox with a structured analysis, the moments you handled right, the signals you missed, and a ready-to-send follow-up email drafted in your voice.
Strong fit. Working app, needs rebuild. Budget in range, ASAP timeline. You quoted $8–14k live and proposed a Friday review.
The prospect mentioned "launch in May" — a deadline you didn't probe. Use it as urgency leverage in the follow-up.
Co-founder wasn't mentioned on the call. Confirm decision-maker before sending the proposal.
Drafted in your voice, referencing the $8–14k range, the May deadline, the co-founder question, and Friday's locked-price commitment.
Cue's behaviour is governed by two plain-text files. Your buyer profile. Your objection scripts. Your pricing anchors. Edit either file mid-call and the next coaching tick uses the new content. No restart. No rebuild. No deploy.
# Refine this as your call patterns sharpen.
"Is it the total or the cash-flow timing?"
"What specifically went wrong last time?"
"I'll send you a quote" — top cause of silent leads.
knowledge-base.md holds your playbook. coaching-rules.md holds the operational rules — how terse to be, what counts as a hard rule, the cue-word lookup table.
Spot a pattern during a call? Open the file, add a line, save. The next coaching tick uses it. No restart. No rebuild.
The KB whispering in your ear during the call is the same KB that grades you after. The debrief flags a pattern → you update the KB once → every future call benefits.
Founder-led sales. Solo consultants. Agency principals. Anyone running high-stakes discovery calls without a sales team behind them — and one freeze away from losing the deal.
You sell what you build. £10–50k deals. 15–30 calls a month. No head of sales to ride along, no playbook handed down — every call is you figuring it out alive.
Your expertise is the product. The discovery call IS the sale. You have 20 minutes to demonstrate value and a price range. There is no second meeting.
You close retainers and project work. Multiple discovery calls weekly, often back-to-back. You need consistency across calls — especially if you're handing some off to AMs.
You sell high-ticket programs over a single conversation. Your call IS the funnel. Buying signals are subtle, the close depends on reading the room — and you only get one shot.
The differentiation isn't "we transcribe better than Otter." It's: Cue acts on the words in real time, using your own playbook, before the moment passes.

Cue runs on your laptop. Nothing leaves the machine except audio to a transcription provider (no log retention) and transcripts to the coaching model. Email debriefs route through your own SMTP — never a third-party mailer.
Currently in pilot. Paweł runs every demo himself — 15 minutes, a real conversation, you watch the cards land in the overlay as someone talks. No slides, no decks.
