Meeting workflows

Live AI meeting notes for Mac

Capture important points, decisions, risks, owners, objections, customer pain points, and unresolved questions while the meeting is still moving.

No meeting bot required

Post-session meeting memory

Turn the session into summaries, follow-ups, saved facts, action items, review notes, and context for the next customer, product, or research conversation.

Where a desktop meeting copilot helps

Customer calls

Track pain points, objections, quotes, next steps, and roadmap signals without adding a meeting bot.

Turn dense explanations into concepts, examples, review questions, and saved context for later.

Desktop app versus meeting agent

Participant list

ExtraBrain does not join the meeting as another attendee. This is different from notetakers that join Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams as a bot.

Local-first Mac meeting workflow

Use local Parakeet transcription and local Gemma 4 on-device AI where installed and compatible when the meeting data path should stay on the Mac.

Collaboration tradeoff

A bot-based meeting agent can be better for shared team workspaces, automatic distribution, or admin-managed archives. ExtraBrain is built for a user-controlled desktop workflow.
