Parafoil

Grow your leadership

Find out how you lead, from the meetings you've already had

Start with two minutes on how you think you lead. Parafoil reads the meetings you've already had and shows you where you were right and where you weren't. Then, after every meeting, it tells you the specific thing to do differently next time.

Your first five meetings are free, with no card, and so are up to 20 you've already had.

What you'll find out

How you think you lead, next to how you do

You see it in your first session, with numbers from your own meetings.

How you think you lead

Two minutes of choices between good habits, and three bets on your own numbers.

How you actually lead

Your meetings settle the bets: how much you talk, who suggests the way forward, how often you cut in.

Who you're different with

The people you lead most differently with, and, if you connect your calendar, what it says about your 1:1s.

How you actually lead · example

Only you

58% of the talking in your meetings

You picked Coaching as your most natural style. Your meetings read as mostly Decisive.

You bet 35% of the talking, and you were sure.

Your meetings say 58%.

Missed by 23 points

You bet 30% of the suggestions, as a guess.

Your meetings say 36%.

Landed

1 of 2 bets landed.

With Priya you do 31% of the talking. With Tom, 68%.

This is an example. The names and numbers are invented.

Why it matters

How you lead shows up in every meeting

Most people are never trained to lead or to build influence, whether they manage a team or not. Leading happens in your meetings, and that's where Parafoil gives you feedback, so you improve while the work is happening.

Where you set direction

Whether people leave knowing what to do next, and who owns it.

Where you build trust

How you listen, coach and hand over ownership, meeting after meeting.

Where your influence shows

Whose ideas move forward, who does the talking, and which decisions keep coming back.

You track your sleep, your training and your recovery. How you lead deserves the same attention.

What you'll see

Private guidance after every meeting

After each meeting, Parafoil's behavioral engine shows you what went well, what to try differently and why it matters, grounded in what was actually said.

Specific advice tied to what you actually said

Measured against the leader you want to be

Patterns across months of real meetings

The science

Science you can't prompt your way to

Anyone can paste a transcript into a chatbot. Parafoil brings cognitive and behavioral science to your meetings, calibrated by a panel of expert leaders, so the feedback is about you and it holds up.

Language that reveals how you think

Psycholinguistics shows that word choice tracks certainty, confidence and how much room you leave others. Parafoil measures those signals in every meeting you choose.

Grounded in behavioral science

Built on decades of peer-reviewed research into how people lead, decide and work together.

Calibrated by expert leaders

Parafoil's measures are calibrated against the judgment of experienced leaders, so it notices what a good mentor would notice.

Measured against your own history

You're compared with your own normal, so real change shows up and a busy week doesn't.

How it works

Every meeting makes the next one better

  1. Two minutes on how you think you lead

    About ten questions on how you think you lead, with three bets on your own numbers.

  2. Bring your meetings

    Connect Granola, Fathom or Zoom, pick Meet transcripts from Google Drive, upload transcript files, or use Parafoil for Mac. Up to 20 meetings you've already had are free on top of your five.

  3. Your read

    After your first meeting, you see how you lead. Your read sharpens as more meetings come in.

  4. Advice after every meeting

    Parafoil analyzes how you led and tells you what worked and the specific thing to try next time.

Ask Parafoil

Or ask it directly

You don't have to wait for the next debrief or explain the situation. Ask between meetings, and it answers from your own conversations and what the behavioral engine has already found in them.

Your meetings, your way

Use the Parafoil app for the most accurate read, or connect the note-taker you already use

The Parafoil app

Analyzes your Zoom, Meet and Teams meetings as they happen, on your Mac. It hears each side of the conversation separately, so it knows who said what and who did the talking. Nothing joins the call.

The meetings you already have

Connect Granola, Fathom or Zoom once and Parafoil reads up to 20 of your past meetings, then every new one. Or pick Meet transcripts from Google Drive, or upload transcripts from Teams or any other note-taker.

  • Fathom

Your organization never sees your feedback, your transcripts or what you're working on. It's never a performance review.

Your data, your controls

You can pause Parafoil for any meeting

What other leaders say

In their own words

My feedback was vague: delegate more. Parafoil turned it into specifics — the exact meetings where I was the bottleneck and could have handed the decision over.

Nas, Engineering Manager

Adding Parafoil to how I manage has probably been the most useful thing I've done for my own growth. It's like a mirror I actually trust.

Sarah, ex-Big Tech PM

Questions

What people ask before they start

Where does Parafoil get my meetings from?

Connect Granola or Fathom, or Zoom for meetings you hosted with cloud recording on. Pick Meet transcripts from Google Drive, or upload transcript files (.vtt, .srt or .txt) from Teams or any other tool. Up to 20 meetings you've already had are read straight away and are free on top of your five, so your first read arrives in minutes. After that, Parafoil analyzes each new meeting as it arrives: five free, then with a subscription. For the most accurate read, the Parafoil app for Mac analyzes meetings as they happen.

Which meetings does it analyze?

Any meeting where you're leading or taking part: 1:1s, team meetings, project reviews and planning sessions. You choose which ones Parafoil sees.

Who sees my feedback?

Only you. Your employer never sees your feedback, your transcripts or what you're working on.

Do you train AI on my meetings?

We do not train AI models on your meeting content unless your organization agrees to it, and our AI providers are contractually and technically prevented from training on it.

How is this different from asking a chatbot for feedback?

A chatbot gives you an opinion on one meeting. Parafoil scores every meeting you share against the same measures, built with an expert panel and drawn from leadership research, so the advice is about how you lead across all of them.

What happens after my free meetings?

There's no time limit on your five. Your read arrives after your first meeting and sharpens with each one after. After the fifth, Parafoil asks you to subscribe at $30 a month or $300 a year before it analyzes your sixth. A meeting Parafoil can't score doesn't count toward your five.

Can my company buy this for every manager?

Yes. Organizations have their own plan. Schedule a demo from the pricing section.
