I think AI meeting notes should capture more than just the conversation

I've been thinking about this a lot while building Convoxa.

Most AI note takers are fundamentally built around one thing: record the meeting, transcribe the audio, summarize the transcript.

And that makes sense, but it doesn't really reflect how I experience meetings.

A meeting isn't just a conversation.

I'm usually typing down a thought, taking a picture of something on a screen or whiteboard, looking at a document, adding a PDF, or writing down something that I don't want to say out loud.

So for Convoxa 2.0, I wanted to make the entire meeting capture multimodal.

While you're recording and transcribing, you can:

• type your own notes
• take photos
• scan documents
• add PDFs

Everything gets timestamped in a timeline alongside the transcript.

Then the AI can actually use all of that context when generating the final note.

That's the part I'm most excited about. Instead of getting an AI summary of what was said, you get a note that understands what you said, wrote, photographed and added during the meeting.

I also wanted to focus more on what happens after the meeting. The recording and transcription are really just the raw material. The useful part is having a good note that you can actually work with afterwards.

2.0 also includes a native Mac app that records meetings without a bot joining the call.

I've been building Convoxa as a more native, personal alternative to the typical AI meeting notetaker, and 2.0 feels like the first version that really captures what I've been trying to build.

Curious what you guys think. Is multimodal capture something you'd actually use in your meetings, or is audio + transcript enough for you?

Apple Notes for Meetings

I love Apple Notes. I use it every day.

But the built-in recording/transcription was never quite good enough for meetings, even on iOS 27.

Last year I started looking for an app that could transcribe my meetings and turn them into useful notes, basically what I was already doing manually in Apple Notes.

Most of the apps I found felt like Android apps with AI bolted on. They were also generally much more focused on getting the recording than on the actual note-taking experience.

As a developer, I realized I had all the tools I needed to build the app I wanted.

The idea was simple: what if meeting notes felt like Apple Notes?

Native. Fast. Great on iPhone and Mac. Action Button support. Shortcuts. No bots joining your meetings.

That became Convoxa.

I'm very happy to share Convoxa 2.0.

The big addition is multimodal capture. While recording and transcribing a meeting, you can:

• jot down your own thoughts
• take photos
• scan documents and add PDFs
• keep everything together in one timeline

The AI then understands all of it and weaves it into a final Apple Notes-like note.

There's also a timeline showing the transcript and your own notes, all timestamped, so you can go back and see exactly what happened when.

And 2.0 brings a native Mac app that can record your meetings without a bot joining the call.

I built this because I wanted Apple Notes, but for meetings.

Would love to hear what you guys think.

Spotted this 911 Dakar a while ago at the most unexpected place

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by Sonnet 5 as a daily driver?

When it first dropped, I saw the benchmarks and thought it was a bad deal compared to Opus 4.8. After using it heavily for the past few days though, I’ve been really impressed.

It feels like a great daily driver on medium and high, noticeably less token hungry than Opus for 80% of tasks. Haven’t tried xhigh/max yet, but that seems to be where the value proposition weakens (and ironically where most benchmarks focus).

Also been using Sonnet 5 Low for casual chat and the personality feels improved since launch, way less argumentative.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Is Auto unlimited again?

I've used up both auto + composer and API buckets a couple of days ago, and I'm surprised that auto is still going despite them making it count against quota a couple of months ago, it shows in usage as 'Free'. Any info on this?

Parallel Notes – Notes app that transcribes, sees, and writes with you

What if your notes app listened while you typed, and filled in everything you missed?

Parallel Notes transcribes surrounding audio on-device (fully offline) while you write, and lets you attach photos and PDFs as context. When you're done, the AI cowriter weaves it all together into polished, expanded notes, without interrupting you once (done in the cloud with zero data retention).

No chat interface. No prompting. The AI just works in the background.

TestFlight available on iOS, iPadOS (macOS soon).

150 free cowriter requests included in the beta. Would love feedback on where you'd actually use this day to day.
