HearQA for Presentations — Boardroom, Keynote, and All-Hands Q&A
Real-time AI prompts for the moment a board member asks the question that wasn't on any slide — grounded in your slides, source data, and prep materials.
Get Started FreeCommon Challenges
The board member who asks for the source behind the chart on slide 14 — and you can't recall whether it was the McKinsey study or your own internal cohort analysis without scrolling through your notes
Q&A after a keynote where someone asks how your numbers compare to a public industry report you read three weeks ago — you remember the directional answer but not the citation
All-hands updates where engineering, finance, and ops each ask a stakeholder-specific question and you need to switch frames mid-sentence without losing the room
Conference panels where the moderator routes a question to you that overlaps a competitor's claim from earlier in the day — and you need to respond without sounding defensive
Investor-update calls where the LP asks for the assumption behind a forecast cell — and the answer lives in a calc-doc tab you didn't bring to the call
How HearQA Helps
Slide-grounded Q&A recall
Upload your deck (PDF or Google Slides export), the source data behind every chart (Excel exports, BI dashboard screenshots), the prep notes you wrote ahead of the talk, and any external reports you cited. When an audience question lands, HearQA surfaces the relevant slide number, the data source, and the supporting citation in real time — so your answer references the actual evidence, not a paraphrase.
Stakeholder-aware framing for hostile questions
Board members, investors, and conference panelists ask different questions and reward different framings. Tag your prep notes by stakeholder (board member name, fund partner, panel moderator). HearQA matches the live question to the audience-aware framing you wrote in prep — so the answer for the engineering-skeptical board member sounds different from the answer for the finance-only LP, even when the underlying fact is the same.
Practice → Presentation Q&A simulation
Before a high-stakes talk, run Practice → Presentation Q&A. The AI plays a skeptical audience and generates pushback questions from your uploaded slides. Each question is scored on clarity, evidence depth, and pushback-handling. Three rehearsal rounds typically surface the 5–7 questions you weren't prepared for — turning the live talk into the fourth practice run.
Multi-stakeholder all-hands routing
All-hands updates often have engineering, finance, ops, and customer-success stakeholders in the same room asking sequential questions. Upload each function's prior-quarter context and current-quarter goals. HearQA detects which function the live question belongs to and surfaces the function-specific framing — so finance gets the cash-runway angle, engineering gets the architecture-trade-off angle, and you don't cross the wires mid-answer.
Citation hygiene for investor updates
When an LP or board member asks for the source behind a forecast assumption, the answer should be the actual data row, not 'I'll send a follow-up.' Upload your model, your cohort-analysis notebook, your assumption-source list, and any public-data citations. HearQA surfaces the exact source with the row reference so your answer carries citation weight in real time — and you don't leave the call with a 14-item follow-up list.

- Phone-as-second-screen mode for in-room presentations — phone sits on the lectern, off-camera; you glance for citation recall while speaking
- Multi-language support — useful for presentations to international boards or panels where some attendees expect non-EN reference materials
- No detection concern: presentations are camera-on, attendee-facing — there's no anti-AI software in any presentation context
- Pro at $89/mo — fits below the typical exec-coach hourly rate ($300–500/hr) that founders use for high-stakes-talk prep
- Per-presentation session summary capturing every audience question + your answer for post-talk review
“Our LP review meeting had 14 limited partners on a Zoom and our annual fund-strategy update on the table. Three different LPs asked for the source behind our portfolio-pacing chart — I uploaded the cohort-analysis notebook, the historical-fundraise data, and the deck source notes to HearQA before the call. Each time the question landed, HearQA surfaced the exact data-row citation while I was still finishing my sentence. We re-upped two of the three skeptics on the spot.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the audience see HearQA on my screen?
If you're screen-sharing your slides, anything else on your screen is visible too. Use the **Hide answers** toggle before sharing, or run HearQA on a phone-as-second-screen — phone sits on the lectern off-camera; you glance at it for citation recall without ever exposing the AI suggestions to the audience. For in-room presentations the phone setup is the standard.
How is this different from speaker-prep tools like Yoodli or Poised?
Yoodli, Poised, and similar tools are post-talk feedback platforms — record yourself, get scored on filler words, pacing, and clarity. HearQA is the in-talk live coaching layer: the moment an audience member asks a question, HearQA surfaces the slide reference, the data source, the framing for the asker's function. Different problem class. Most presenters using both: Yoodli for delivery rehearsal in advance, HearQA for live citation recall and Q&A grounding during the talk.
Does this work for in-person presentations or only virtual?
Both, with a different setup. Virtual: HearQA runs on your laptop or phone alongside the call; tab-audio capture handles Zoom/Meet/Teams. In-person: phone-as-second-screen on the lectern (off-camera) — the phone's mic captures the room audio, HearQA surfaces document-grounded prompts, you glance at the phone screen between sentences. The product-fit for in-person is actually cleaner — the room audio is the only thing being captured, no concern about screen exposure.
Can I prep with documents that aren't public?
Yes — uploaded documents are private to your account, encrypted at rest, never used to train any AI model, and never indexed for search. Confidential board decks, model assumptions, customer cohort data, and source citations stay in your document library; only your live AI prompts can reference them, and only during your active session.
