Use case

Meeting workflows

Live notes

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

No meeting bot required

ExtraBrain is a desktop app rather than another participant joining the room, which helps keep the workflow private and under your control.

Post-session memory

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

Use case

Where a desktop meeting copilot helps

Customer calls

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

Internal decisions

Separate decisions, owners, blockers, risks, and follow-up questions during fast-moving team discussions.

Research and lectures

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

Use case

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 mode

Use local transcription and on-device AI where compatible hardware supports it 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.
