What Is ExtraBrain?

ExtraBrain is a desktop AI assistant for live conversations and focused work. It runs on your Mac or Windows PC rather than joining your meeting as a bot.

  • Transcribe microphone and computer audio with a local or cloud transcription provider.
  • Ask typed questions, quote transcript text, and run reusable profile actions.
  • Capture the active window, whole screen, or a selected region.
  • Search imported TXT, Markdown, and PDF reference documents when relevant.
  • Use Assistant, Coding, System Design, Behavioral, Meeting, or HR Screen profiles.
  • Review saved sessions and use Pro summaries, insights, and automations where offered.
  • Use free Phone Control from your iPhone or Android phone in supported builds.

Complete setup, choose an AI provider, and ask a non-sensitive question. Start a live session when you want audio transcription. A typed question does not require you to begin recording.

Cloud analysis can send transcripts, prompts, document excerpts, and actual screenshot images to the selected service. Local transcription alone does not make all analysis local. Read data handling before adding sensitive context.
