How it helps

How it helps

Give it the right documents

PDF, Word, RTF, Markdown, text, HTML and CSV. Files dropped on a meeting are used only by that meeting; the shared knowledge base serves every meeting.

  • Per-meeting and shared documents
  • Replace a file by dropping a new one
  • Deleting a meeting deletes its files

It finds the question for you

The model reads the last minutes of the transcript, picks the latest question and writes keyword searches that can bridge synonyms and even languages between the call and your files.

  • Hotkey ⌃⌥Space, or ⌃⌥Q to type
  • Last 5 minutes by default, 1 to 20 in Settings
  • Edit the question and ask again

A short answer, with sources

Search combines keywords and on-device semantic matching, then the model answers from the passages found, citing them as [1], [2]. If nothing matches, it says so instead of guessing.

  • Sources shown with each answer
  • Streamed, timed step by step
  • Copy, regenerate or delete any answer

Questions

Does it make up sources?

No. It cites only passages found in your documents. With no documents loaded it warns you that answers will be generic.

Which models can answer?

Apple’s on-device model, your ChatGPT plan, an OpenAI-compatible API or Claude, chosen in Settings.

Is the answer panel visible to the people I am talking to?

The floating panel uses a macOS setting that keeps it out of screen sharing and recordings. Test with your call app first.

What file types can I use?

PDF, Word, RTF, Markdown, plain text, HTML and CSV. A scanned PDF needs a text layer first.
