👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Robin, creator of Ellis — a personal AI notetaker for in-person meetings.
What is Ellis?
Ellis is a simple consumer-first AI notetaker (iPhone and Apple Watch) for in-person meetings. It works anywhere being in the same room matters: coffee meetups, on-site sales meetings, therapy, doctor visits, interviews, or even your teacher-parent conference.
When the meeting ends, Ellis matches your voice against your saved voice profile, gives you a full transcript with an easy way to assign speakers, and writes notes in the format you pick.
Why Ellis? 🤔
Unlike other notetakers that are built for your org, Ellis is built for you as an individual. You can record lots of different in-person conversations, ask questions across them, and find common traits and trends spanning both your professional and personal contexts. Yes — I might want to know how my sales meeting went AND how I navigated a difficult conversation with another caregiver. Two different use cases, but one repository, built for me.
Key features 🤩
Getting "who said what" right. Telling speakers apart in a real room is harder than online — every voice hits the same microphone. Ellis solves this with voice enrollment and diarization, plus a fast way to tag yourself and others.
Ask anything about a conversation. Pull up what was said, decisions made, or anything you want to revisit from a meeting — just ask.
Find it by place. Forgot a name or a detail? Ask by location — "what did we agree on during our walk in Fort Greene?"
Private by default. Recordings are automatically deleted once transcription is complete.
Happy to answer questions — and I appreciate the support. 🙏
how well does it pick up multiple people talking over each other in a louder room, and what happens if someone joins the meeting late mid recording?
Ellis
@nevzatozuldqgl great questions. Give it a try! I'm testing different scenarios everyday, but I haven't tested super noisy yet.
I'm using a combination of AssmeblyAI for speaker diarization, Pyannote for speaker embeddings (the user records a short snippet of themselves in onboarding to keep their voice as reference), and as well as a UI for the user to explicitly select themselves from speakers in the room.
As far as someone joining later it, that speaker should be added as an additional attendee of the meeting.
What's your use-case?
How well does the speaker identification actually hold up in a noisy room with overlapping talk? Wondering how often I'd need to go back and manually fix who said what.
Ellis
@englyevq you can try it out for free. I purposefully designed a UI that gives you a "best match" on your voice enrollment, and a way for you to pick and label speakers by name if you need to. So the manual "fixing" should be easier
Ellis
@luki_notlowkey I'm using AssemblyAI which models are getting better and better. Do you attend conferences?
Love that you're focusing on in-person meetings
Most AI note takers are optimized for virtual calls. Being able to capture discussions with just an iPhone or Apple Watch feels really convenient. Curious, how well does Ellis handle noisier environments like conferences or busy cafés?
Ellis
@worksforme well, and getting better. Using AssemblyAI under the hood. Curious about your conference use-case. Have you tried other notetakers in the past?
how does it handle cross-talk or overlapping speakers when multiple people talk at the same time during the meeting?
Ellis
@dnde8yg you get a full transcript where you can then easily identify speakers. By cross-talk there are occasional instances where it might identify two speakers as one. But the recent AssemblyAI model is surprisingly good and getting better.

nice, everyone builds for zoom calls and forgets real meetings exist. curious how it does with a noisy room, that's where my notes always fall apart
Ellis
@ashmil_hussain give it a try and let me know! What type of noisy rooms are you thinking of? public places?
