You give one pitch. Everyone in the room hears it in their own language.
Upload your deck. knowtheroom listens while you talk and writes a card for each person in the room: their numbers, their vocabulary, their objection. Nobody taps anything, because nothing on their phone is a question.
Free for your first session. No audience app to install, they scan a code.

Written from the slide and the number he just said. Nothing to tap.
Three inputs. Nothing comes back from the room.
Your deck, what you are saying right now, and who each person is. That is everything it works from.
Your deck
One PDF. It finds the claims and builds the beats.
What you are saying
The live transcript, so it knows which claim you are on.
Who each person is
Two questions at the door, plus what is public about them.
On one phone, at beat 7
Translation
€7 a month × 40k households is the €3.4M ARR line he just skipped past.
Written for the investor in row three. Everyone else got a different card, and none of them can reply to it.
Every pitch ends the same way. “Any questions?” Then silence. Not because nobody had one, but because nobody had it in words yet.
The deck is the input, not the output.
Drop in a PDF. knowtheroom reads the story, finds the claims, and builds the beats where the room will need help. You see every card it plans to write before you go live and you can change any of them. Which means the first time you run it, it already sounds like you.

Why us
Three of fourteen beats, and two of the lenses each one composes for. Edit a beat, remove it, or add one the deck did not suggest.
One sentence. Four different cards.
You say a number out loud. The investor gets it as an ARR line, the engineer gets the ranking step named, the operator gets the wall they already hit, and the person who was lost gets the definition. Same second, same sentence, four screens.
“Seven euros a month, forty thousand households.”
Translation
€7 a month × 40k households is the €3.4M ARR line he just skipped past.
Someone deciding whether to invest
Translation
That “decides” step is a ranking model over inventory and stated preferences.
An engineer two rows back
What this means for you
This is the same distribution wall you hit in your second year.
A founder who has sold into retail
Definition
Inventory freshness: how recently the stock list behind a recommendation was checked.
Someone who would pay for this
Four cards, one second, no reply button on any of them.
It knows who is holding each phone.
Two questions when they scan the code, plus whatever is already public about them. That is the whole setup, and it is all in place before your first slide.
Two questions, once, when they scan the code
Why are you in this room?
How close is this to what you do?
Plus what is already public about them
The room, sorted before you start
From here on, every card is composed per person and per beat.
Nobody answers anything.
There is no poll, no vote, no ranking, no field to fill in and no tap to wait for. Anything with a button on it is a survey wearing a costume, and a survey interrupts the talk it is attached to. Every card is written, delivered, and read. That is the end of it.

The deck never says it, and the €3.4M ARR line depends on it. Hold this one for when he stops talking.
A question to hold. Nothing to send.
It reads the room from who is in it.
Agreement and disagreement come from the profiles in the seats and from where attention is, not from a show of hands. The big screen can tell the room something true about itself without asking it a thing.
This room has built the hard part before.
From the profiles of the 42 people in the seats, not from anything they were asked.
9
have shipped a recommendation system
6
have sold into grocery retail
4
invest in this category already
Attention is holding
38 of 42 phones are awake and on the current beat.
It keeps up with you.
It listens to what you are saying and moves when you reach the next claim. Turn the mic off and tap instead. If the clever parts fail, the talk still works, because the talk never depended on them.
Beat 7 of 14
Pricing
Seven behind you, one live, six held back until you get there.
Mic on
It listens for the moment you reach the next claim and advances on its own. You never look at a screen.
Mic off
One tap moves the room on. Same beats, same cards, nothing lost.
You leave with every version of your pitch.
Not a tally, because there is nothing to tally. A record of which version of your story each part of the room was given, the questions they are each now holding, and the one you never answered.
Forty-two people heard your pitch. Here is the version each group got.
The unit economics, translated twice, and a counter-comp on price.
The ranking step named, and the architecture diagram with their node lit.
The distribution wall, framed against what they have already lived.
Four definitions, and an analogy from the industry each of them works in.
