Surfbird — one good tip, right when you need it
An iPhone call coach that listens beside your laptop, turns speech into text on the device, and suggests what to say next.
Field notes
Surfbird places the phone beside a laptop rather than joining the call as a meeting participant. Its stated workflow uses Apple's on-device speech recognition, sends text rather than audio for tip generation, and discards the transcript after producing a recap. The page describes four modes—sales, interviews, technical rounds, and custom calls—and lets users provide material such as a CV, job description, pitch, or price list before the conversation.
