Hero reads your CRM. MagicScreen reads the room.
Vivun Hero is an AI sales teammate that builds pre-call briefs from your CRM and whispers answers during calls. MagicScreen is an invisible overlay that surfaces the right insight, script, or answer the moment it's needed — without joining your meeting, touching your CRM, or being visible to anyone else on the call.
MagicScreenReal-time co-pilot
Vivun HeroAI Sales TeammateHero by Vivun is a well-built AI sales assistant that shines at pre-call prep — it synthesizes CRM history, stakeholder maps, and deal context into a brief before you walk in. During the call it whispers answers from a knowledge base. MagicScreen takes a different approach: it runs as a native macOS overlay that is completely invisible to everyone else on the call, requires no CRM to deliver value, surfaces insights proactively without prompting, and covers the full revenue team — not just account executives. For teams that need real-time intelligence that works on day one without a CRM integration project, MagicScreen is the faster, lighter path.
What each tool is actually for
Vivun Hero
Hero is a polished product backed by Vivun's enterprise pedigree. Its pre-call brief is genuinely impressive — pulling CRM data, prior call transcripts, stakeholder maps, and deal risk signals into a single view before the meeting starts. Enterprise customers like ADP and DocuSign use it at scale, and it carries SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications. For teams with mature Salesforce deployments who want AI-assisted prep and a structured post-call workflow, Hero delivers real value.
AI Sales TeammateMagicScreen
MagicScreen wins in the moments that actually decide deals — the live conversation. It runs as a native overlay that nobody else can see, requires no meeting bot, and surfaces battle cards, objection handlers, pricing scripts, and proof points the instant they become relevant, without the rep having to ask. There is no CRM dependency to get started, no bot joining the call, and no setup project. The Team plan adds a shared resource library and script enforcement so every rep draws from the same approved playbooks — something Hero only offers on enterprise contracts.

MagicScreenVivun HeroCommon questions
How is MagicScreen different from Vivun Hero?
The core difference is where each product delivers value. Hero is strongest before the call — it builds a rich pre-call brief from your CRM and deal history. MagicScreen is strongest during the call — it runs as an invisible native overlay that surfaces the right answer, script, or battle card the moment it's needed, without joining the meeting as a bot or requiring CRM data to function. MagicScreen also covers the full revenue team (sales, customer success, onboarding, professional services), while Hero is primarily built for account executives.
Does Vivun Hero join my meeting as a bot?
Hero listens to your call to deliver real-time assistance, which means it needs access to the audio stream. MagicScreen runs as a native macOS overlay that processes audio locally on your device and is completely invisible to other meeting participants — no bot joins, nothing appears in the participant list, and there is no recording indicator visible to your prospect.
Can I use MagicScreen without Salesforce or a CRM?
Yes. MagicScreen delivers full real-time value from day one without any CRM connection. You upload your playbooks, battle cards, pricing sheets, and objection handlers directly into the shared resource library, and MagicScreen surfaces them live during calls. Hero's pre-call brief is heavily dependent on CRM data — without a connected Salesforce instance, its prep capabilities are significantly reduced.
How does pricing compare?
MagicScreen offers a permanent free tier (5 meetings per month) with no credit card required. Pro is $39/month per seat; Team plan pricing is available on request and includes shared resource libraries, script enforcement, and team reporting. Hero offers a 28-day free trial, then $20/month per individual seller, with team and enterprise plans requiring a sales conversation. All MagicScreen plans include features — shared playbooks, admin controls, performance reports — that Hero reserves for enterprise contracts.
Is MagicScreen compliant for enterprise use?
MagicScreen runs as a native macOS overlay on the user's device. It does not record calls, does not join meetings as a bot, and does not transmit conversation audio to external servers. This makes it significantly easier to deploy in enterprise environments where compliance, data residency, and privacy are concerns. Both products carry SOC 2 and enterprise security certifications.
Does MagicScreen surface insights automatically like Hero?
Yes — and without requiring a CRM integration first. MagicScreen automatically detects when objection handlers, competitive battle cards, pricing scripts, or proof points are relevant and surfaces them unprompted during the live conversation. Hero's real-time assists are strong but rely on the knowledge base and CRM context you've connected; MagicScreen works from your uploaded playbooks immediately.
