Clarke.ai

This is legit one of the most ingenious uses of AI I've seen in a while. Nailed the simplicity and execution 🙌

Free trial would make sense

Hi Product Hunters! I'm Shishir, founder of Clarke.ai. Thank you @daveambrose for hunting us, and all of you for the encouraging comments and support! Call Notes - Everyone wants 'em, No one wants to be stuck taking 'em. Calls a big time sink, not just during, but also after (organizing notes, manually updating CRM, slack etc). Often, the note-taking process is wasteful as well. Time spent on taking notes could be better utilized. Money spent either on a human assistant, or a $100/hr transcription service could be better utilized. Don't believe your interns if they say they like taking notes. We're tackling a big, interesting problem - transforming large amounts of content (be it text or audio) into useful, digestible summaries. The applications are endless, we've just found a real problem we could help with right away. How does it work? Just like a real human assistant, you'd simply cc or send Claire (or Cleary) a calendar invite. As long as there is a dial-in number / pin provided, she will dial in and take notes. Notes are delivered to you email. You could even get notes delivered straight to your CRM/ Productivity tool of choice (Slack, Salesforce, Trello, etc). Does it capture to-dos/ action items? Yes, there's a bias towards next steps and action items. Does it dial into any number? Yes, as long as there isn't a speaking requirement (some services require you to say your name etc). Who is currently using it? Individuals and teams ranging from boutique firms to enterprises such as SAP, Deloitte. Sales execs, Management consultants, Lawyers, Financial advisors make up the bulk of our current users. Is Clarke.ai HIPAA compliant? No. It may be something we do later down the road. How do I get access? We're adding new users every week, in an effort to maintain the best experience possible. We are working hard to get this in the hands of everyone as fast as possible. Anything else? Comment here or drop us a note at help@clarke.ai.

From their about page: "You simply cc or forward your conference call invitation to Claire, your AI powered assistant. Claire automatically dials into that number at the scheduled time and takes notes as other participants speak. When the call ends, Claire compiles your notes and emails it to you." Haven't tried it yet but the premise sounds of having an extra set of eyes and hands take notes for you sounds exciting.

Does it work if the conference is over Skype or another VoIP client?

Very cool. This would be a great app for the Amazon Echo. That microphone technology + this service would be golden for a conference room meeting. A question on the operational side. How do you deal with legal consent? "Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington." http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/...

is this recording the calls? I Know that many "AI powered" things are actually heavily assisted by humans. if it's doing any call recording, then it would be worth baring in mind the laws of the state that you're calling from
