For meetings — The meeting

“Show me the notes from last week.”

The meeting picks up where the launch left off, and the notes of that meeting — the pricing decisions and their figures — are on the screen before the sentence is finished.

For pitches — The stage

“This year we opened in Austin, Lisbon and Singapore.”

The three cities land as a list with a map beside them; the next line — two hundred thousand people in the first month — becomes the big number on the slide. The voice stays quiet: a pitch is the presenter’s.

For classrooms — The classroom

“Teach us the phases of the moon.”

A working model of the earth, the moon and the sun opens on the screen and becomes a lesson: as the co-presenter names each phase — the first quarter, the full moon — the model turns to it and the point is written on the board beside it.

For planning a trip — The trip

“What are some things to do in Patagonia in the spring?”

The things to do come up as a list — hike Torres del Paine, kayak Lago Grey, drive the Carretera Austral — with a map of Patagonia beside them that nobody asked for; “Zoom in.” zooms it two levels, and the co-presenter names what is there.

For learning — The lesson

“Hey, I want to play the Jobava London System. Show me the main line.”

A chess board opens on the named opening and the main line plays onto it move by move while the co-presenter explains each one.

For catching up — The cab

“What did we decide on pricing this morning?”

No screen at all: she asks her phone in the back of a cab, and the voice answers from the morning’s meeting — the pro plan at 179 dollars a seat, churn held at 5 percent.

Try it in your own room

Start a session and talk about anything with a figure, a name or a place in it. Then ask for the notes, ask it to go back to an earlier topic, or ask it to change the slide — “make that bigger”, “take that down”, “show me all their faces”. The Getting started page walks through a first five minutes.
