Ellis - AI notes for in-person meetings
by•
Ellis is an AI notetaker for in-person meetings. Record your meeting, get a clean transcript with each speaker identified, then ask anything — what was decided, what you missed, how it went. No laptop. No extra hardware. Just your iPhone (or Apple Watch).

The speaker identification without cloud processing feels really thoughtful, like the team actually thought through what people want during a meeting instead of just chasing the AI hype.

@uurnabb I'm trying to be as thoughtful as possible :) Thanks!
The fact that it runs straight from your iPhone or Apple Watch without any extra hardware is genuinely clever, removes so much friction from actually capturing in-person conversations.
Ellis
@harunartkowci Right. I understand the benefit of having an extra hardware device in that it reduces the friction of actually making a recording. But then again that requires you to purchase and upkeep a physical device.
In-person notes are a different trust problem than meeting-bot notes. The useful detail is speaker correction and ownership after the recording, because the transcript becomes part memory, part operating record. Getting that boundary right matters.
Ellis
@krekeltronics 100% agree.
How well does it handle overlapping speakers or side conversations in a noisy room, and is the transcription actually reliable enough for something like a legal or HR meeting?
Ellis
@beyzatanrkur6p you can try it for free. I found the combination of speaker diarization and selection works very well.

@sedefgjlh right. So I get the purpose of hardware. It helps reduce the friction of recording, and makes it more explicit. In that sense I'm big fan of Pocket and Plaud. But that again requires you to purchase, perhaps upkeep, a physical devise
The speaker identification works surprisingly well even in a noisy coffee shop, and being able to ask follow up questions about a meeting I walked out of feels like a real superpower.
Ellis
@aleynadgpp appreciate it!
finally tried ellis at a coffee chat and the speaker labeling actually nailed it, even with overlapping talk. liked that i could just leave my phone on the table and forget about it
Ellis
@nazbbof happy to hear it!
Curious how it handles crosstalk or people talking over each other in a noisy room. Does the speaker identification still hold up, or does it get messy fast?
Ellis
@abdulkadirc80x Give it a try. You can start free.
How well does the speaker identification actually work when people are talking over each other or interrupting? That's usually where these tools fall apart for me.
Ellis
@sedadedemen Interruptions will always be hard in in-person meetings. For virtual it's much easier because they have different audio input.
How well does the speaker identification work in a noisy cafe or group setting with people talking over each other?
