To ensure we're aligned, it's important to focus on our distinct market position. We are innovating in the sales engagement space. RingCentral, on the other hand, specializes in call center solutions; a very different and unique environment. Our strategy deliberately avoids the high-volume, cold-calling approach. We believe in a more targeted, quality-driven methodology that values precision. We're not really providi…

This crosses into personal attack. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but please don't do this.

just 2c on the tagline but there was a time when this would be called "Copilot for Sales"... mixed feelings about what a better shorthand tagline would be but "Cursor for X" when there is no IDE, you're not forking anything, and you're forcing the user to do the comparison between actual competitors like Granola or Monterey... just a tough start features sound great though, i would actually check it out if i were doi…

X for Y is more confusing in general than just saying what it is.

In this case: AI to improve your sales calls

AI assistant for better human sales calls

For a detailed discussion on features and usage, which may be beyond the scope of HN, please email us at contact@heynomi.com. Our standard approach is to first confirm mutual fit, then run a pilot to ensure an increase in your deal closure rate and adoption in your team. Only after that, we will move toward the established pricing based on your usage, and critical feature needs.

oooh this is >$1k mo talk

Yeah but it is also "we want you to have a need and be successful talk"

> If you're the host initiating Nomi, for instance through our desktop app integration, there's an additional step: you're required to explicitly confirm that all participants have consented before Nomi will join and start recording. And in-car navigation systems make you promise to never touch the screen while you're driving the car on the road.

Interesting analogy! For instance, some cars periodically check if your hands are on the wheel. (Tesla does that, right?) This type of check could helps confirm you are still engaged and proactively asking for consent. That would be a big step for us, we have searched the whole note-taking industry and it is very hard to find a method that is truly foolproof. If you have a solution that wouldn't rely on pure user tru…

Off-the-top-of-my-head... your software gets the video feeds of the other participants in the call, right? Your service could prompt people to give a simple Thumbs-Up / Thumbs-Down gesture to their cameras to signal consent (or text-chat message for those who can't gesture).

Have you seen how granola.ai solve it? “Works on all platforms, no meeting bots Granola transcribes your Mac's audio directly, with no meeting bots joining your call”

Yes, we do have this feature too, that's either way you prefer.

Is this via Recall too? Or something you've had to roll yourself? I've been curious at how much of this can happen on device vs being constantly streamed to the cloud and back (which often has significant latency implications given I'm based in Australia).

Also, very interesting idea for a product! As someone who has previously led sales teams at early stage startup I can totally relate to this challenge.

How much does it cost per user?

What's the $ per seat?

As an engineer founder I can only agree this is likely solving a real problem.

1) I don't understand your product based on your demo. It looks like a simulated thing, but it doesn't tell me about _my_ user experience. How much eye to eye contact would I break using your app? Where is the video? How does it look if the bot is with me instead of calling through your app? Those type of questions are unanswered by this quite lackluster 15 second demo.

1.5) The demo also feels very scripted. A call is way more messy.

2) Your "investors" page shows 3 types of products: transcription, in sales call, and sales training. I'm curious, do you really need all three right now?

3) Your logo should be remade. When sized down (to the size of your homepage) its not clear what it is. I had to zoom ni to understand it's an ai generated oil painting of a sunset (I presume). I believe a logo should be clearly identifiable in all presented format, otherwise it doesn't fulfill the purpose of a logo. (Look on appicon designs. Apple has a lot of guidelines on how to rerender your logo for lower pixel environments if needed, just for this purpose. A simple initial fix is just to remove complexity from it).

Cool job though! I can definitely understand the potential.
