Our Story

Subtle started with a simple observation: the moments that matter most in your career are the ones where you have the least help. Interviews, sales calls, critical meetings — high-stakes, real-time conversations where you need to be present, not frantically Googling.

The story behind Subtle. Why we built an invisible AI overlay, the problem with existing tools, and where we're taking things next.

Key Highlights

  • Born from real interview frustration
  • Built as a native macOS app for true invisibility
  • BYOK model — your keys, your data, your privacy
  • One-time $199 purchase, no subscriptions
  • Expanding from interviews to full meeting intelligence

About Subtle

Subtle is an AI overlay for professionals who need real-time assistance during high-stakes moments — job interviews, sales calls, meetings, coding sessions, and presentations. The overlay is visible only to you and cannot be captured by any screen sharing or recording software. Subtle uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) model: you connect your own AI provider accounts, so your data never touches our servers. Available as a one-time purchase for macOS.
