Automatic Suggestions

Get AI-powered coaching suggestions in real-time to elevate your conversations and never miss important opportunities.

What are Automatic Suggestions?

While you focus on your conversation, Hedy's AI continuously analyzes the discussion in real-time. When it identifies an opportunity for you to ask a strategic question, explore an important topic, contribute valuable insights, or navigate sensitive topics with better framing, Hedy sends you a discrete suggestion through the chat interface. This helps you be the brightest person in the room by catching opportunities you might otherwise miss.

Getting Started

  1. Navigate to "Meeting Settings" before starting your session

  2. Scroll to the Automatic Suggestions section

  3. Choose your preferred frequency: Selective, Balanced, or Frequent

  4. Optionally enable system notifications to receive suggestions even when Hedy is in the background

  5. Start your session and let Hedy coach you in real-time

How It Works

Hedy's automatic suggestions use a sophisticated two-step AI process:

  • Real-time Analysis: AI monitors your conversation flow, identifying gaps and opportunities

  • Quality Filtering: Each suggestion is evaluated against strict criteria for actionability and value

  • Perfect Timing: Suggestions arrive when you can still act on them during the conversation

  • Context Awareness: Incorporates your session type, personal goals, and discussion history

Frequency Settings

Control how often you receive suggestions based on your preference:

  • Off: No automatic suggestions (manual Q&A only)

  • Selective: Only the highest-quality suggestions

  • Balanced: Moderate frequency for most users

  • Frequent: Maximum coaching

Session Types Supported

Automatic suggestions are tailored for different conversation types:

  • Business Meetings - Strategic questions and action items

  • Lectures/Classes - Learning enhancement and clarifications

  • Medical Consultations - Important health questions

  • Interviews - Insightful journalism or recruitment questions

  • Coaching Sessions - Breakthrough questions and insights

  • Personal Conversations - Deeper connection opportunities

  • Solo Brainstorming - Creative prompts and perspectives

Beta Limitations

During the beta phase, please note these temporary limitations:

  • 30-Minute Cap: Automatic suggestions are limited to the first 30 minutes of each session

  • Continuous Improvement: This is our first iteration - suggestions will improve based on your feedback

Best Practices

  • Create detailed session contexts - the more Hedy knows about your role and goals, the better the suggestions

  • Start with "Balanced" frequency and adjust based on your experience

  • Enable notifications for important meetings so you don't miss suggestions

  • Review suggestions quickly - they're designed for immediate action

  • Use the copy button to save particularly valuable suggestions

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic AI prompts, Hedy's suggestions are:

  • Contextually Intelligent: Based on actual conversation dynamics, not just keywords

  • Quality-Filtered: Sophisticated AI criteria ensure only valuable, non-obvious suggestions reach you

  • Perfectly Timed: Delivered when you can still act on them during the conversation

  • Conversation-Aware: Considers your session type, personal context, and ongoing discussion threads

Privacy & Processing

  • All analysis happens in real-time using your conversation transcript

  • Suggestions are generated based on your specific context and preferences

  • No suggestions are stored unless you explicitly copy them

  • Processing respects your chosen AI provider settings

Troubleshooting

I'm not receiving any suggestions

  • Ensure automatic suggestions are enabled in Meeting Settings

  • Check that your session has been running for at least 2 minutes

  • Verify you have sufficient transcript content (meaningful conversation)

  • Remember the beta limit of 30 minutes per session

Suggestions seem too generic

  • Add more detailed session context before starting

  • Include your specific role, goals, and meeting objectives

  • Choose the appropriate session type for better targeting

  • Consider switching to "Selective" for higher quality threshold

I'm getting too many/few suggestions

  • Adjust the frequency setting in Meeting Settings

  • Try "Balanced" for most conversations

  • Use "Frequent" only for critical meetings

  • Switch to "Selective" if you prefer fewer, higher-impact suggestions

Pro tip: For maximum effectiveness, spend 30 seconds before each meeting adding specific context about your goals, the other participants, and what success looks like. This dramatically improves the relevance and impact of Hedy's suggestions throughout your conversation.
