An iPhone call coach that listens beside your laptop, turns speech into text on the device, and suggests what to say next.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

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.
