Office politics isn't dirty — it's just misaligned incentives, fear, and unwritten rules. Here's a practical framework for reading the room at work and making your next move with confidence.
Read more →Your questions, answered
What is Mentawe and how does it help with office politics?
Mentawe is an AI office-politics coach. Describe a workplace situation, prep for a meeting, or record one, and it reads the dynamics — who's protecting what, which incentives are in play, and the unwritten rules — then gives you one concrete, ethical next step. It's built to help you read the room and navigate workplace politics with confidence.
How is Mentawe different from ChatGPT or a generic AI chatbot?
Unlike a general chatbot, Mentawe runs every situation through a proprietary political-analysis framework and keeps a private model of your goals, your colleagues, and your company's commercial context. That means grounded, specific reads of your workplace — not generic advice — and it always ends with a clear next move rather than a wall of text.
Can Mentawe help me prepare for a difficult meeting or conversation?
Yes. Meeting prep briefs you on what each attendee wants, fears, and how to engage them, plus the dynamic to watch. After the meeting, record it or paste a transcript to get AI meeting notes and a full political read with your next moves — ideal for performance reviews, salary conversations, and stakeholder management.
Is there a free trial, and do I need a credit card?
Yes — there's a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. It includes AI coaching, meeting prep, and meeting recording. You only add payment details if you choose to continue after the trial.
How much does Mentawe cost?
After the free trial, Mentawe is from £9.99/month and you can cancel anytime. Invite colleagues and you both get 25% off — refer four people and your next month is free.
Is my data private and secure?
Your situations, people, and meeting transcripts are stored against your account only, are never used to train AI models, and are never sold. Meeting audio is transcribed and then discarded — only the text and analysis are kept. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.
Can I record and analyse meetings legally?
You can record audio or paste a transcript for instant AI meeting notes and a political analysis. Recording laws vary by region, so you're responsible for getting participants' consent before recording. Mentawe transcribes the audio, then discards it.
Does Mentawe work better if my team uses it too?
Yes. When more than one person in a meeting uses Mentawe, it can weigh everyone's context to steer toward an outcome that works for all sides — a mentor for the whole room, not just one player.
Will Mentawe tell me to be manipulative at work?
Never. Mentawe is designed to find the honest, constructive move — the one that gets you what you need while protecting your integrity and relationships.
