Coaching cues, in the Zoom side panel

Whisper reads the live transcript of a meeting you host and shows you short text cues while you talk. It runs inside the Zoom desktop client, on a page hosted here.

Cues are hypotheses about the conversation. Whisper does not score truthfulness and will not tell you someone is lying.

Onboarding — how a session runs

01 Open the panel Whisper runs as a Zoom app: a page on this domain, loaded in the side panel of the Zoom desktop client, in a meeting you host.
02 Say who you are talking to Pick the person and what you are working on — credibility, influence, or understanding. Confirm they know you use a coaching aid.
03 Start the stream Zoom sends the meeting transcript to our server. Zoom shows every participant its own notice that an app is receiving meeting content.
04 Read the cues One card at a time, one to five words, in your side panel — never drawn on the shared meeting screen. A card clears itself once it stops describing the moment.
05 Read the debrief After the session: what you tried, what moved, and the measured lag between a sentence being spoken and its cue reaching the panel.

What moves, and what does not

Leaves the meeting

The transcript stream — words, who said them, when. It goes to the CoreValence server, and parts of it go to Anthropic to generate cues, under that API’s retention terms.

Stays in the meeting

Audio and video. Whisper reads Zoom’s transcript stream and nothing else, joins no participant list, and records no media.

Stored afterwards: the cue cards, counts, timing numbers, and a debrief that quotes lines from the conversation. Deleting a session deletes all of it; removing the app from your Zoom account deletes every Zoom-linked record.

Screen sharing: cues can leak. Zoom normally keeps its own windows out of a share, but a “show Zoom windows” setting or a full-desktop capture puts the panel on everyone’s screen. Keep it out of what you share.

What it needs

A meeting you host

Zoom releases the realtime transcript on the host account’s terms. In someone else’s meeting their admin has to allow it and they have to approve it, so Whisper starts with meetings you host.

The desktop Zoom client

Zoom apps do not load in the browser Zoom client. Desktop only, on the account the app is installed for.

One other person

Whisper coaches one-to-one conversations. When a third voice arrives the session ends itself and tells you why.

Getting access

01 Ask for it Email the maker with a line about the conversations you want coached. The list opens account by account as the measurement phase allows — today it is very short.
02 Get allow-listed When a slot opens, your Zoom account is added to the private app and your email to its allow-list; the app then appears in the Apps panel of your Zoom desktop client. Private installs skip the Marketplace.
03 Host your first session Start a meeting you host, open Whisper in the side panel, and walk the five onboarding steps above. The debrief afterwards includes the measured transcript lag from your own call.

Where this stands

A private app, for now

Whisper for Zoom is a private install with a short allow-list. There is no Marketplace listing yet and no public sign-up; the app’s first public milestone is a measured answer to how fast the transcript path really is, from real hosted meetings.

The panel itself lives at corevalence.com/zoom/app and only renders inside the Zoom client.
