Most AI notetakers hand you a transcript with a summary bolted on 💅 Tackly maps what you say into one of 20 nodes, live and in realtime — from meetings, solo voice notes, or a pasted transcript — so you get structure you can always come back to, not just silly old black and white text. I struggle with ADHD on a day-to-day and this has made me feel a ton more productive, I never lose my thoughts. AI notetakers are boring, tackle them with Tackly. Try it for free at tackly.co
Tackly
Hey 👋 I'm Jonathan. I struggle with ADHD on a day-to-day (I'm sure a lot of founders do 🙃), and conversations disappear the moment they end - same with a lot of my thinking, and I hate traditional notes/the transcripts we get from traditional AI noteakers. I wanted something that organised my ideas the moment I say them out loud.
Dual Ingestion & Tri-Tier Real-Time Pipeline: To maintain sub-second (<80ms) visual responsiveness across both solo rants and group meetings, Tackly uses a dual-ingestion architecture covered by initial fast-path rendering (powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite).
Talk Solo 💅
Hold a key, think out loud and watch a map of your thoughts (summarised, to only keep the important stuff) get built out in front of you.
Join a meeting 📆
No need to connect your calendar as soon as you sign up - invite a bot instantly into your meeting by just pasting a link. As soon as Tackly joins your meeting a board is created, and a whole teams conversation gets mapped out in real time (you can even share the board via a live link for others to watch).
Upload a transcript 🙊
Hate boring summaries from other notetakers, just upload a transcript - it gets mapped out instantly.
During the build, and once core functionality was viable enough for me to use it - I created a thread on Tackly, spoke - and I followed along with my thoughts so easily. Exporting every session as an MD to Claude, which helped shipped Tackly in less than a week. I truly believe this is the new way of thinking.
I truly believe this is the new way of thinking.
the sub-80ms rendering target is a smart thing to optimize for specifically, since with a thinking tool any visible lag between saying something and seeing it land breaks the whole point of thinking out loud. question about the 20 nodes - is that a fixed taxonomy of note types, or an actual cap on distinct thought clusters per session? if it's the latter, what happens on a long rambling session that would naturally produce more than 20, does it merge similar ones or just get more selective about what makes the cut
Tackly
@galdayan Yeah the sub-80ms is prioritised through the first half of our rendering pipeline (for every utterance) so it can feel real time, covers enough to actually understand the context of whats being said and what node type should be assigned (whilst also looking at the most recent node that was pushed). The most logic gets pushed out at T2 (Tier 2 rendering), which gets triggered every 20 utterances, still fast - just not as important as T1.
And in terms of the 20 nodes, its a fixed taxonomy of node types - there's no limit on how much can be discussed in the meeting. In fact I pressure tested in so many ways, a 2 hour session made the board function almost 2x better (a lot more context to work with).
There is decluttering in the pipeline, which works along side T2 - but this only corrects the board, and looks to put two nodes together to make space (only if its appropriate to combine the two, just extends the summary on a parent node).
Huge congrats on shipping @lorbes Solving note-taking for visual/ADHD thinkers is a massive problem.. qq How does Tackly decide how to cluster scattered thoughts into nodes when a solo rant jumps randomly between three different topics?
Tackly
Thanks @vikramp7470, we've got a special node for off-topic talk, it's called '🧇 Waffle', and it stays on the board depending on how relevant the waffle was.
If we're talking about genuine topics, every topic gets separated into its own separate 'topic' so nothing is cluttered together. Every utterance goes through a tri-tier rendering system the same second you say something out loud. With the first being T1 (Dual Fast Path Engine) where incoming transcript chunks stream into Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. An ultra-fast initial path captures instant context, while a semi-fast path evaluates node probability—spawning provisional canvas nodes (TOPIC, IDEA, ACTION, WAFFLE) almost instantly before going through T2 rendering which looks at the context of the whole board, whether that chunk of info should be connected to another node via a smart connector (like Topic 'expands' on previous plan, or 'Evidence' supports previous risk mentioned.
This looks really interesting, congrats on launching! The real time rendering is remarkable. How much editing can you do afterwards the first draft is done? Do you control it by voice or there is manual way to move stuff around, add additional notes, and so on?
Tackly
@mateuszkonik Thank you that means a lot! No restrictions on editing, you can move the nodes around however you like (they will still keep their smart connectors), delete nodes, add 'notes to nodes' or just clarify whilst speaking - Tackly will know what to update and what to add more context to.
There is a consolidation step at the very end which triple-checks everything is perfect, but T2 part of the rendering pipeline was built for exactly that, so decluttering, correction and logic is maintained in real time.
Congrats on the launch! The fixed 20-node taxonomy is impressive! I was thinking... T1 assigns a provisional node type in under 80ms, then T2 can re-parent it later. When I'm mid-thought watching the map build, does that correction ever visibly reshuffle a node I was still reading?
Tackly
@artstavenka1 Thanks! And good question, when you're mid thought watching the map build, any corrections do visibly reshuffle (if positioning can be more logical), or a node simply gets deleted and context is added onto an existing/parent node (which we call decluttering, so there aren't so many nodes taking up space). But this doesn't delete any context, it just adds onto existing nodes that would be classed as parents.
This is such a refreshing take on AI note-taking. Turning a conversation into a live visual map feels much easier to revisit than scrolling through a long transcript or generic summary. I especially like that it works for both meetings and solo thinking sessions. Can Tackly recognize when an earlier idea comes up again and automatically connect it to the relevant node?
Tackly
@cathy_cc Hey Cathy thanks for the feedback! And yes, absolutely - Tackly recognises when an earlier idea comes up again (or something related to that idea) and connects all related nodes together.
Jonathan, this speaks straight to anyone whose head fills up faster than they can write it down. Talking it out and finding it sorted afterward sounds like a small weight lifted.
Tackly
@amine_aziz_alaoui Indeed! Thanks for the feedback 🫶
