Transcribed as you speak, every speaker labeled

On-device Whisper keeps pace with the conversation, and local diarization works out who said what. Timestamps play the audio.

Ask your notes, get answers with citations

Ask any meeting a question. Answers cite the second it was said, and clicking a citation jumps there.

It notices when a meeting starts

When Zoom, Teams, or a browser call uses your mic, a quiet pill offers to record. It watches device state, never audio. Off by default.
