What we build
What is PokaMind?
PokaMind brings AI to the human side of business by turning meetings, coaching, training and know-how into one layer, then building each client's tools on top. Your people use them in the browser, on a phone and in a weekly feed, and EMORI, our desktop robot, is in pilot. Teams at ABB, BioInvent and Career 180 have used PokaMind.
What have you built for other organizations?
Meeting analysis, coaching notes, practice for hard conversations, feedback in people's own words, short courses and security drills from a company's own documents, and a weekly digest of what changed in them. Teams at ABB, BioInvent and Career 180 have used PokaMind for practice and training. Meeting analysis, coaching notes, feedback, security drills and the weekly digest were first built for clients we do not name, and short courses are part of the platform. The next one can be yours.
Where do our people use it?
In the browser, people use a PokaMind button to record a meeting for analysis or ask a question of your own documents, and practice runs on a laptop or a phone. Coaches use a phone right after a session. The weekly digest arrives in a short feed. A test phishing email reaches the real inbox only when you decide to send one. EMORI, our desktop robot, runs practice by voice in a hospital break room, in pilot.
What happens in a practice session?
A person opens a scenario in the browser and talks out loud. An AI plays the other person, in character, and reacts to what they say. When the session ends, they get a written breakdown that points to specific moments: what they said, how they said it, what to change and questions for the next run. They can run it again straight away. All it needs is a browser, a microphone and a camera.
Which languages does it work in?
It depends on the tool. Practice runs in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Catalan, Chinese and Swedish, and Arabic scenarios can be written in Egyptian or Saudi dialect. Meeting analysis is written in the meeting's own language, and the weekly digest in your company's language. The EMORI pilot runs in Catalan and English.
Privacy and data
Do you record our meetings?
Only when someone presses record in the browser for a meeting analysis. It records what that computer's microphone picks up, so tell everyone in the meeting before you start. The audio and the transcript are kept. Who said what is worked out from the words, and PokaMind does not recognize anyone by voice. It connects to no meeting platform.
Does PokaMind read emotions?
No. A practice session records what anyone in the room could see or hear: what was said, tone and pace of voice, pauses, expression, eye contact and posture. PokaMind is designed not to infer emotions, mood, stress, personality or intent, and it does not identify anyone from their face or voice.
Who sees what?
It depends on the tool. In practice, the person who practiced sees their written breakdown, and managers and program owners see practice activity and session scores over time, never the conversation, the transcript or the breakdown. A coaching note goes to the person it is about, after the coach has checked it. In the weekly digest, the person who approves it decides who sees each post. PokaMind is not used to hire, promote, screen or rank people.
How is our data protected?
Session data is encrypted in storage and in transit and handled in line with GDPR. We share our security documentation and data processing terms during evaluation.
Working with us
Is PokaMind software or a service?
Both. PokaMind is software, and our team builds each tool with yours, from your own material. Every tool runs on the same PokaMind platform, so each new one starts from what is already built. For practice, your own program owners can edit scenarios and add new ones after the first build.
How do we get started?
Book a demo and tell us about one situation where your people need help. If it fits, we agree on a scope, and you share the material the job needs, such as a playbook, a policy or a list of skills. You share only what you choose to. We build and test the tool with the people who know the work before anyone uses it. The timeline is written into the scope you sign off.
How is PokaMind priced?
PokaMind is licensed per organization, based on how many people use it and which parts of the platform you run. We quote the first build before it starts, once we have seen your material and agreed on the situations. There is no public price list, because scopes differ.
