... Dictation tools and meeting notetakers technically solve two different jobs. One types for you everywhere, the other listens to your calls and hands you a summary. But they both sit in the same "capture" corner of the stack, and I've noticed a lot of people running one of each without ever really deciding to. My own take is that the split is mostly historical.

... Comment from Dina(@reline): @hosseinyazdi  Same here, and it's funny because I'm not even against them. It's purely the not mentioning it that changes the vibe. A one-liner like "heads up, I have a notetaker on so I can actually listen" would fix 90% of the awkwardness. Do people actually do that in your experience, or does the bot just silently appear? Comment from Hossein Yazdi(@hosseinyazdi): Yeah, I definitely talk a bit differently when ... ... notice one join the call. I don't mind AI notetakers

... thread :) Comment from David Tedaldi(@david_tedaldi1): @ilya_makarov2  super interesting! Comment from Stan Kolotinskiy(@sk_uxpin): @ilya_makarov2  ah, well, I was thinking in a different direction - I initially thought that you're referring to notetakers for meetings in i.e. Google Meet :) But your flow makes sense Comment from Ilya Makarov(@ilya_makarov2): Personally, I ended up moving away from standalone AI notetakers

... part of the team building Geode . We are solving a specific problem: AI convenience without the Cloud risk. Most AI notetakers upload your audio to their servers to process it. If you discuss sensitive IP, NDAs, or medical info, "cloud encryption" often isn't enough. How Geode is different: We leverage the Neural Engine in Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) to run transcription, translation, and summarization entirely on-device. Physically Secure: Your audio and text physically never leave your local storage. There ...

... Comment from Edward Michaelson(@emikes919): @chrismessina   @gabe  don't you think AI video call tools are early on the "saas fatigue curve"? Eventually, like every other app, people will get sick of using multiple, and the best competitors will get so good, that there has to be consolidation Comment from Chris Messina(@chrismessina): @emikes919  @emikes919 I totally disagree. The prompts that each of these platforms use to generate notes, along with the different templates they provide ... ... Tools i'd tried so far: @Apollo: It joins the calls automatically if you don't the otherwise. Good at taking notes in English but Turkish version didn't work well. Also free recording is useful.
