For a detailed discussion on features and usage, which may be beyond the scope of HN, please email us at contact@heynomi.com.

Our standard approach is to first confirm mutual fit, then run a pilot to ensure an increase in your deal closure rate and adoption in your team. Only after that, we will move toward the established pricing based on your usage, and critical feature needs.


oooh this is >$1k mo talk


Yeah but it is also "we want you to have a need and be successful talk"


ahah


What's the $ per seat?


To ensure we're aligned, it's important to focus on our distinct market position.

We are innovating in the sales engagement space. RingCentral, on the other hand, specializes in call center solutions; a very different and unique environment. Our strategy deliberately avoids the high-volume, cold-calling approach. We believe in a more targeted, quality-driven methodology that values precision. We're not really providing real time coaching, we give actionable, on-the-spot things to says and proactively build your sales playbook.


Hard not to be snarky, but this response looks like it was produced by AI. If this is the type of "suggestion" that your product produces, that's a hard "no" from me. If this was written by a human, then apologies, but please try to be more human.


This crosses into personal attack. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but please don't do this.


Thoughtful feedback and thanks for the name appreciation! We'll make sure to keep that rule in mind.


Just don't call it "Nomad", that would be a terrible name for an AI company!

I had almost this exact same conversation with Cursor about analyzing an error, when it tried to sterilize my faulty source code:

More unsolicited advice on company names and logos:

It's probably not a good idea to repeat the mistake of calling your web site "expertsExchange.com" in this current political environment.

And just because Slack got away with a penis swastika logo, it's played out, and you don't want to bait Elon Musk into endorsing your company with one of his famous heart-goes-out Roman friendship salutes.


Not sure to get it right.

We partner with Recall.ai (YC W20 https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/recall-ai) for our meeting infrastructure and we work closely with them to ensure the best possible experience for our users, including alignement with compliance standards.

On the SOC 2 type 2, GDPR, CCPA compliance, we're partenering with Probo (YC X25 https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/probo).

Happy to get more insights on the challenges you have in mind !


Nice to know about Recall!

Right now we handle all of our recordings internally, since having a bot join our calls is a dealbreaker, but it is something that i'm going to take a closer look at. Your product is very interesting for our problem domain, but having a bot join our calls is a big no.

About the compliance recording:

Microsoft teams allows for two modes of call recording (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-recor...):

- Convenience recording- an ad-hoc recording of a call or meeting that a user starts and manages. For an overview of convenience recording, see Overview- Recording and transcription for Teams meetings and calls. -> This requires a bot to join the call

- Compliance recording-calls and meetings that are automatically recorded without user intervention and owned by the company, using a third-party solution. -> This does not require a bot to join the call. The audio is streamed directly to the server, no bot required.

It is somewhat painful to roll your own compliance recording bot without a third-party, but it is possible (even if badly documented).


How does that work in two party consent jurisdictions?


It is possible to prompt the user for consent right as they join the meeting, up to the implementation.


Have you seen how granola.ai solve it?

“Works on all platforms, no meeting bots Granola transcribes your Mac's audio directly, with no meeting bots joining your call”


Yes, we do have this feature too, that's either way you prefer.


Is this via Recall too? Or something you've had to roll yourself? I've been curious at how much of this can happen on device vs being constantly streamed to the cloud and back (which often has significant latency implications given I'm based in Australia).

Also, very interesting idea for a product! As someone who has previously led sales teams at early stage startup I can totally relate to this challenge.


> Not sure to get it right.

Are you French by any chance, or is this a more general difficulty of the English language? (Only asking because I have a French colleague who makes the same mistake.)


Ahah yes, definitely, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099265

We'll work on rebranding to heynomi or making sure we can beat nomi ai on SEO.


Thanks Dan for stepping in !


Our mistake. We're not really social media users.

Feel free to comment here ! Or reach to contact@heynomi.com


From what we see, Cluely is doing great at delivering direct, result-focused outcomes for individuals in on-demand scenarios when pressing specific keys combo. It seems they're doing great in the consumer space, helping people passing interviews and handling specific sales objection recently, likely very skilled at community building around that immediate, tactical assistance. (Cluely team, feel free to join the discussion!)

Our approach is more focused on the B2B sales process and partnering with companies to continuously build their collective sales intelligence over time. You could think of us less as an answer tool for an individual, and more like "product engineering for your sales motion" with realtime support as a driver. We can talk about that for hours, with Ethan, we have a solid infra/sales engineering background.

Oh, and, on a technical note, we're providing end-to-end things to say, with a P99 of 500ms, from your personal/organization intelligence, no need to press a key, that's just part of your screens captions.


Have you tried to type nomi on google ? Check the first result. Ahah moment guaranteed.

We should probably fully rebrand as heynomi indeed.


A Korean restaurant?


Hello from Amsterdam! ;)


First result is the AI bf/gf app for me... I don't get it personally. Are you the same company and this you pivoting?


I get nomi.ai, which is a service to:

"... build a meaningful friendship, develop a passionate relationship, or learn from an insightful mentor."

As a card-carrying member of his fan club I must mention the great, and tragically departed, Klaus Nomi:

I've got that card in my wallet too, alongside my Leigh Bowery Fan Club Card and Nina Hagen Fan Club Card!

Let's hope lightning strikes again.

Here's "The Nomi Song" documentary of his amazing and tragically short life:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PszBID3Lk

It covers the story behind his epic SNL performance with Joey Arias and David Bowie:

https://youtu.be/W0PszBID3Lk?t=2038

"So, to get ready for Saturday Night Live, he said to Bowie, 'Well so what are you doing, what's going to happen? Are you doing a staging, or are you doing costumes? What are you doing?'"

"And he said, 'Yeah, and they're making me this copy of a Tristan Tzara design from some performance art thing from the 30's.' So we look at this thing, and it's, it's beautiful."

https://lemodalogue.com/2017/07/31/histoire-dun-costume-dada...

Page Wood, Nomi's Art Director:

"I remember Pat Gibbons, who was Bowie's manager at the time. He comes up and he goes, 'Well you're going to have to have something. You're going to have some costumes.'"

"And he whips out a big wad of cash, and he goes, 'How much do you need?', and he starts peeling off bills. And Joey and Klaus look at him, and their eyes widen, and they look at each other, and they go, 'We're going to need shoes, too.'"

One of my favorite performances of all time, The Man Who Sold The World lyric "We must have died alone, a long long time ago." was especially poignant given Nomi's sad fate.

At 1:42 in this video, just after that tragic lyric, Blondie's keyboardist Jimmy Destri stares gothically up into the camera.

Then they did "TVC15":

https://www.davidbowieworld.nl/david-bowie-tvc-15/

>[TVC15] was inspired by an episode in which Iggy Pop, during a drug-fueled period at Bowie’s LA home, hallucinated and believed the television set was swallowing his girlfriend. Bowie developed a story of a holographic television, TVC 15. In the song, the narrator’s girlfriend crawls into the television and afterwards, the narrator desires to crawl in himself to find her.

https://donhopkins.com/home/nomi/DavidBowieAndKlausNomi-TVC1...

Finally right the end of the live performance of "Boys Keep Swinging", Bowie pulled one over on the censors by whipping out his puppet penis on live TV, and then grinning impishly!

The night David Bowie brought a nude puppet to SNL:

We connect with usual meeting apps (Zoom, Meet, Teams), and we also have a desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux) for when you want to use other kind of applications (phone apps would works, though we're not focused on cold calling)
