The call is on stage.
Backstage has the notes.
A personal AI co-pilot that runs on your machine, draws from your own notes, and surfaces the answer when the call calls for it. Your prep, within reach.
Four moves. From silence
to answer.
Backstage runs as a personal reference window on your own machine. It listens to the conversation you're in, finds the question you're trying to answer, and pulls the line from your notes — fast enough to feel like memory.
It hears the room.
Local audio capture from your microphone and the system output. Real-time transcription stays on your machine. Backstage runs as a desktop app — like any other window open on your computer.
It reads the moment.
Detects when a question is aimed at you — versus thinking aloud, throat-clearing, or someone else's turn. A small classifier rules out 9 out of 10 false alarms, so the prompter only lights up when it matters.
It pulls the answer.
Pulls from your notes, your CV, your product spec, the call's own transcript so far. A single sharp paragraph, with the numbers and names spelled out — ready to read aloud.
You speak.
Backstage shows the answer in a clear reference window on your screen — designed so you can keep your eyes up and your delivery natural. You read your own line. When the call ends, your notes stay; everything else is cleared.
Three calls. Three different kinds of pressure.
For the rep on the demo call.
Discovery and demo calls where pricing, positioning, and competitor questions need to land in one breath. Backstage carries every battlecard, every tier, every "yes-but-actually" — so you don't have to.
For the candidate before the next round.
Run mock rounds against your own CV and notes — behavioral, technical, system-design. Backstage surfaces the framework (STAR, SBI, the right tradeoff to name), names the weak spots in your stories, and trains you to a fluent answer before the real call. Built for prep, not for the room itself.
For the lead in the standup.
Standups, customer escalations, board check-ins. Pull a number, a name, or a decision from last quarter without breaking eye contact. Backstage remembers what you don't have time to.
The pitch is the screen recording.
Real call. Real questions. Backstage running on the same machine you can install it on. No cuts, no voice-over, no “simulated” stamps in the corner.
Your conversations
never leave your machine.
Most AI meeting tools ship your audio to a vendor cloud. Backstage doesn't. Audio capture, transcription, classification, and retrieval all run on the device in your hand. Nothing about the call is uploaded — not the audio, not the transcript, not the questions you were asked.
Other tools record the call.
Backstage helps you answer it.
Most meeting AIs are built for what happens after the call — a transcript, a summary, an action list. Backstage is built for the moment you're still on the call and the question just landed.
Logos and names belong to their respective owners. Comparison reflects publicly documented features as of 2026.
People don't use Backstage on demos.
They use it on the real thing.
Quotes are from active beta users. Names withheld at their request — most of them are using Backstage on calls where saying “I use a tool for this” would be the wrong move.
I closed my first deal where I never once said ‘let me get back to you on that’. The pricing question landed mid-demo, and the answer was already on my second monitor before I finished saying ‘great question’.
It's the first AI tool that actually helped me think on my feet. It doesn't answer for me — it just makes sure I never blank on a number I already knew.
I've used Otter, Fireflies, Read, all of them. They tell me what was said. Backstage helps me say it.
Did three behavioral interview prep sessions. By the third I wasn't reading the prompts anymore — I just knew the stories. That alone is worth the seat.
Pay by seat, not by the minute.
You shouldn't pay more for taking more meetings. Backstage is flat-rate per seat — predictable for finance, fair for power users, and honest about what it costs to run.
