A Next CoLab product

A private second perspective on how you work.

Heron listens to the conversations you are already in and tells you one thing worth knowing. Not a transcript. Not a summary. A notice.

Ask for beta access See what it says

What a notice looks like

Transcripts tell you what was said. Heron tells you what happened.

Otter, Zoom and Granola already capture the words, and that is becoming free. Heron opens with the one observation from that conversation you would not have caught yourself.

Heron

That is the third time you have closed with "let me think about it" with Marcus. Each time, he raised it again the following week.

Heron remembers the last conversation, so it can see a pattern across months that neither of you can see from inside it.

Heron

You made the case three times. The second version was the shortest, and it was the one Dana repeated back.

One observation drawn from the whole hour, not a summary of it. The hard part is choosing which one is worth your attention.

Heron

That went better than your last four with Priya. When she pushed back, you let the pause sit instead of filling it.

Measured against your own history with that person, not against a benchmark or an ideal meeting.

Illustrative examples of the form a notice takes, not output from a real conversation.

When you would want it running

The conversations that are already on your calendar.

The one-on-one where you have to say the hard thing, and said it so carefully last time that it never landed.

The pitch you have given four times. It works sometimes, and you do not know which part is doing the work.

The negotiation where it goes quiet and you fill the silence, every time, before you have meant to.

The standing meeting with someone you need on your side, where the same subject keeps coming back unresolved.

What you get

One notice. Then somewhere to go with it.

Notice

One observation, chosen from the whole conversation because it is the one that changes something.

Nudge

A small adjustment to try next time. Private by default, never shared, never scored against you.

What to carry into the next conversation, with the people and the history already loaded.

Context

Relationship profiles that build over time, so Heron can tell you today went better than usual with someone.

Where this stays

Nobody sees your notices but you.

Heron only works if you can be honest in front of it. That constrains what we are willing to build.

Not your employer. Your notices and nudges are not sent to your company, and they are never used to rank, rate or review you.

Not the meeting host. Whoever called the meeting receives nothing. Neither do the other people in the room.

Not a score. Heron measures you against your own history, not against a leaderboard or a model of the ideal employee.

Your recording, your call. You decide which conversations Heron sits in on, and you can delete any of them.

Organizations can run Pulse, a separate Next CoLab product with its own deployment and consent. Pulse reports on teams and the organization in aggregate. It does not expose any individual's Heron notices.

Why it is different

Questionnaires describe who you say you are. Heron shows how you actually show up.

A general model can read one transcript and say something sensible about it. That is not the hard part.

The hard part is knowing you. Heron carries your history, your relationships and the arc you are on into every conversation, so the notice it gives you is the one that matters, said in a way that keeps you on your own side.

Underneath it is the Next CoLab behavioral engine, and a context payload that compounds with every conversation you have.

Heron records natively. Existing transcripts can also be brought in, automatically where the platform allows.
