In this episode of The Tech Founders Podcast, we explore the future of AI-powered human connection with Jean Templin, founder of Nayak, a real-time AI relationship coach that helps sales teams build trust and communicate more effectively on calls.
Jean shares her fascinating journey from working on early eye-tracking models and neuroscience-backed tech to launching Nayak, a platform designed to analyze emotional intelligence and guide users in real time during high-stakes conversations. Nayak’s AI doesn’t just surface insights post-call, it gives dynamic, in-call nudges to improve rapport, credibility, and confidence while helping salespeople stay in sync with their prospects’ emotions.
What you’ll learn:
– How Nayak uses real-time AI to coach sales teams during live calls
– The difference between Nayak and traditional conversation intelligence tools like Gong and Fathom
– Why emotional intelligence is becoming the ultimate sales differentiator
– The psychology behind building trust—and how Nayak quantifies it
– How future use cases (from hiring to dating) could benefit from “vibe intelligence”
If you’re a SaaS founder, GTM leader, or anyone building at the edge of AI and human interaction, this episode is packed with forward-thinking insights.
