Answer the hard client question while you are still on the call.

The deal is won or lost when the client asks about day rate, scope creep, timeline, risk, or why they should trust you. Minuta is the live English copilot that reads the question, uses the context you prepared, and drafts the answer before the moment passes.

You know the work. The high-stakes English is the bottleneck.

A US client asks, "Can you do this for less?", "Can we include that extra integration?", "Can you ship it before launch?", or "Why should we hire you instead of an agency?" You have the answer in your head. Under pressure, in English, it comes out smaller, slower, and less senior than your real judgment.

Generic notetakers help after the meeting. This problem happens during it. Minuta captures audio locally, uses cloud AI over the internet, and turns your rate sheet, scope rules, case studies, technical notes, and delivery plan into language you can say while the client is still there.

The moments Minuta is built for

Day rate

"What's your day rate?"

Before the call, you load your rate sheet, minimum engagement, and preferred fixed-bid language. Minuta suggests: state the rate, tie it to senior ownership, and offer a scoped alternative without discounting. Result: you anchor price clearly instead of apologizing for it.

Scope creep

"Can you also include this?"

You preloaded your scope template, change-request policy, and examples of what belongs in phase two. Minuta suggests: acknowledge the goal, separate it from the current scope, and price it as an option. Result: you stay helpful without donating margin.

Timeline

"Can you ship before our launch?"

You attach your delivery plan, dependency checklist, and known risk list. Minuta suggests: name the feasible milestone, call out the blockers, and propose a cut line for the launch version. Result: the client hears confidence and constraints, not a nervous yes.

Credibility

"Why should we hire you?"

You load the case studies, metrics, and project notes you want to reuse. Minuta suggests a concise answer with the closest proof point and a specific outcome you have shipped. Result: you sound like a specialist with receipts, not a freelancer making generic claims.

Tradeoffs

"Why that technical approach?"

You add architecture notes, stack preferences, and tradeoffs from past projects. Minuta suggests: explain the option, the risk it avoids, and where you would choose differently. Result: the call moves from language pressure to senior technical judgment.

How Minuta works before and during the call

Open Minuta before Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Attach the materials you already use to sell: pricing, proposal notes, scope template, case studies, delivery plan, and technical tradeoff notes. Then run the call normally.

  • No bot joins. The client sees a normal call while Minuta runs on your computer.
  • Live English transcript on the side, so accents, speed, and nerves do not erase the exact question.
  • Hard question appears → request a copilot draft → answer grounded in your own pricing, scope, proof, risk, and technical context.
  • After the call, you still get structured notes and follow-up material. The wedge is that you already answered better while the client was listening.

Why this is not another notetaker

  • Transcripts help you remember what happened. Minuta helps you answer while the outcome is still being decided.
  • Every suggestion is grounded in docs you loaded before the call: rate sheet, scope boundaries, case studies, risk notes, and delivery plan.
  • No guest bot joins the meeting or appears in the participant list.
  • Audio is sent to cloud AI for processing; transcripts and meeting records stay in the desktop app on your computer.
