Live human coaching for important calls

A trusted coach in your corner, live.

Spectator lets an approved coach, teammate, advisor, or interpreter support you during important conversations — with your authorization and control.

Use Spectator alongside the calling apps you already use. When you're Available, a trusted coach can join your Spectator session, hear the call context, and speak privately to you without adding a meeting bot or interrupting the flow.

No recording. No transcription. Host stays in control.

Private coaching channel

Your coach speaks only to you. You can end the session anytime.

The gap

Important calls are hard to handle alone.

Some conversations are too important to navigate without support. Sales calls, onboarding sessions, customer escalations, negotiations, interpretation, and high-stakes business conversations all move in real time. Notes after the call are too late. Generic AI suggestions often miss the human context.

Spectator gives you a trusted person in the moment — quietly, privately, and under your control.

Coaching usually happens too late

Managers and advisors often review calls after they happen. Spectator brings support into the live moment, when it can actually change the outcome.

Meeting bots change the room

Adding a bot or extra participant can interrupt the flow. Spectator works as a private coaching layer for authorized use cases.

AI is not always the right coach

Some conversations need human judgment, context, empathy, and trust. Spectator is built for real people helping real people.

How it works

A private coaching layer for live conversations.

Spectator runs from your macOS menu bar. You choose when you're available. A trusted coach can join your Spectator session and support you in real time.

1

Set yourself Available

You control when coaches can join. Availability is your standing permission for approved Spectator sessions.

2

A trusted coach joins

Your coach joins through Spectator. You hear a clear in-ear signal when they connect, and you can see the active session in your menu.

3

They hear context and guide you privately

Your coach hears the call context and speaks privately to you. Their voice is not sent into the external call.

4

You stay in control

End the session anytime. Spectator is designed around Host control, awareness, and authorized use.

Works with the calls you already use.

Spectator runs alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, and any other calling app on your Mac — no integrations, no bots in the meeting, no plugins to install.

Spectator is not a meeting bot. It does not join the call, record audio, or transcribe conversations.

Use cases

Built for moments where live support matters.

Let a manager support a rep during important calls, demos, objections, and deal conversations.

Spectator should only be used where you are allowed to invite live coaching or support, and where any required notice or consent has been handled.

Trust by design

Private does not mean covert.

Spectator is designed for authorized coaching, not hidden monitoring. The Host knows when a coach joins, controls availability, and can end the session at any time.

Host-controlled availability

Coaches can only join when the Host is Available. You decide when live support is allowed.

Join awareness

The Host receives an in-ear signal when a coach connects and can see the active session in the menu.

End anytime

The Host can leave or end a coaching session immediately.

No recording

Spectator is built for live support, not call recording, transcription, or searchable meeting history.

No meeting bot

Spectator does not add a bot participant to your meeting or change the room dynamic.

Authorized use only

Use Spectator only where live coaching or assistance is permitted and any required notice or consent has been handled.

Spectator is built to keep the Host aware, in control, and responsible for when support is used.
