Hey everyone,
I built a CLI program that brings NotebookLM like features into Obsidian through four specialized AI agents for audio transcription, fast research, deep research, and visual mind-mapping. All of which is operating safely within an isolated folder sandbox in the vault so it can't break anything in the vault.
If you want to try it out or dive into how it works, check out the links below:
I sit in meetings all day and I've tried lots of recording apps and devices. I really like Plaud and I always have Apple Voice Memos with me, but the recordings just stayed 'stuck' in those apps. I wanted to get the notes into the rest of the apps I use, so I built Cordari.
Cordari.ai syncs with all of your Apple Voice Memos and Plaud notes automatically, then:
If you want even more flexibility, it will send a webhook so you can integrate your notes with the rest of your n8n workflows. If you're a developer, I also built a full API.
Here's a 90 second video showing everything Cordari does today.
It's improving every day so if there are other integrations you want, please let me know!
Paying for Al app subscriptions gets expensive quite quickly. So I experimented with using local voice to text models and combined it with Apple Intelligence. The results surprised me. Until recently, I paid for Wispr Flow and Granola. Since building my app, I have cancelled my subscriptions.
As a launch offer, I have a heavily discounted lifetime subscription within the app as long as you buy it within the first 24 hours of downloading the app. Other similar lifetime subscriptions are over $ 200. I am charging around 85 % less for much more features. As a relatively new app, we still have some rough edges and the Mac companion app is pending review. But we are improving rapidly.

If you use an AI assistant during meetings or interviews, you've probably worried about it showing up on screen share. Tools like Cluely charge $149.99/mo for their top plan — and the only thing that justifies the jump from their $19.99 Pro plan is screen share invisibility.
That's $130/month for one feature.
I built Cloakly to solve exactly that. It's a lightweight add-on that hides your AI assistant from screen sharing software. Works alongside whatever AI tool you're already using.
$6.99/mo. That's it.
What makes it different:
• Works with your existing AI assistant — no need to switch tools
• Lightweight, runs quietly in the background
• Fraction of the cost of bundled alternatives
Still early days but it's working well. Happy to answer any questions or take feedback. Link in comments.
Here's the pitch: you brief an AI agent before a meeting, it joins the call as a bot, participates in the chat, and sends you a full debrief after.
I built this as a mockup to see if people actually want it before I go deeper. Some of it works, some of it is rough around the edges.
What works right now:
\- Give it context (who you are, why the meeting matters), key points you want raised, and questions you need answered
\- It joins Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams as a named bot ("John (Imposter)")
\- Posts a welcome message introducing itself and your agenda
\- Actively participates in chat : answers if someone asks it something directly, confirms when your questions get answered, raises your key points when the topic comes up
\- Sends a debrief at the end: summary, action items, and direct answers to your questions
\- You can send it immediately or schedule it for a specific time
Quick way to test it:
Create a Google Meet (or Zoom/Teams), paste the link in, fill in some context and questions, and hit send. If you don't set a schedule it joins immediately — you'll just need to admit it from the waiting room. Takes about 30 seconds to set up. Talk for a few minutes and see what it picks up.
What I want to build next (if people use it):
\- The bot uses voice to speak in the call.
\- Google Calendar integration so it auto-joins without you doing anything
\- Upload documents/briefs so the agent has richer context
\- Claude workspace / Teams integration
\- Better proactive participation

Is this something worth pursuing or nah ?
I've been frustrated for a long time with the same problem most people who love learning have. You read, you listen, you experience things, you write them down, and then you forget most of it anyway. Your notes sit in a journal or a note-taking app you never open.
So I spent the last week building something different. Instead of organizing notes into folders or categories, it automatically connects them the way your brain connects thoughts. One idea leads to another leads to another. Like how seeing something random reminds you of a person, which reminds you of something they said, which connects to something completely different you read last year.
It also lets you ask questions across all your notes and get answers from your own thinking. And if you half remember something but can't find it, you describe what you remember and it asks you clarifying questions to reconstruct it.
It's called Ocreda.
Completely free to try. No credit card needed.
Your notes are stored in your own private database. Nobody sees them. Not me, not anyone.
Now the honest part. This is a very early beta and it is not perfect. There are bugs. Some things are slower than they should be. Some features work better than others. I built this in one week because I genuinely needed it, not a team of engineers.
I don't want fake feedback. I want to know what breaks, what's wrong, what's missing, and whether the core idea actually makes sense to you after using it for a few days.
If you try it I'd genuinely appreciate you coming back here and telling me exactly what you think. Good or bad.
Hey everyone, need some help.
We’re building a SaaS platform and need to partner with an AI notetaker/transcription provider. Our users will be using Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom for meetings, and we need to integrate an AI notetaker/transcriber into those meetings with an API connection back to our platform.
Unfortunately, Fireflies does not offer partnerships as we're building/scaling, so that option is off the table for now.
We’ve also looked at tools that let you build your own notetaker, like Nylas.ai and Recall.ai, but the pricing is around $0.50 per hour, which could get expensive quickly as we scale across users.
We need automated billing meaning when a user buys a seat from us, we will automatically enable the AI Notetaker
Does anyone know of a better solution, API provider, or potential partner for this use case? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Hi everyone, I wanted to share Beyz.
I originally made it for myself because I was tired of going into important conversations with a pile of prep notes, reference docs, and things I didn’t want to forget, then still missing something in the moment anyway. I wanted something that felt less like a traditional note-taking app and more like a real-time assistant for high-stakes conversations.
The main idea is simple: Beyz helps you prepare, stay on track during the conversation, and review everything afterward.
A few things it can do:
The part I personally find most useful is not having to jump between notes, docs, and memory during the actual conversation. If I need a reminder, the relevant context is already there. If the other person says something important, I can review it afterward instead of relying on messy handwritten notes.
I’ve been using it across meetings, mock interviews, and real interviews, and the workflow feels pretty similar each time: prep with the right materials, stay more present during the conversation, then review the summary and follow-ups afterward.
There’s a free trial available, so if this sounds useful for your workflow, feel free to give Beyz a try: Beyz
I’d genuinely appreciate any thoughts, questions, or suggestions.
I used to struggle in taking notes during meetings, remembering things later, finding what I had to do for X person, what I agreed with Y person.
Now I solved my problems with this app I built with the goal to be my brain for meetings. During/after a meeting it does automatic transcriptions, summary, action items.
If you don’t remember something you can ask the AI chat in natural text things like “What was decided in the Sprint Planning a month ago?” and it will go through your meeting history and find it for you.
An interesting point is that I can also connect with my Notion, where I take all my notes, and now these notes are also part of this brain as a source of knowledge.
Now the best part: everything running locally, nothing goes to cloud services. No bots joining meetings, no data going to cloud providers. Privacy at maximum.
A one time payment (if you are sick of monthly payments, so this is for you) with half of the price for the first users.

English is not my first language, so I used a translation tool to clean up the wording. The opinions are based on my actual experience using these tools.
I’ve been looking at a few meeting productivity tools lately because the category is starting to feel crowded. At first they all looked like some version of “AI meeting notes,” but after comparing them more closely, they seem to be solving slightly different problems.
Granola felt the most like a personal AI notepad. The landing page is very focused on taking rough notes during the meeting, then letting AI clean them up with the transcript afterward. I like that framing because it does not try to replace your thinking completely. It feels best for people who already take notes but want cleaner summaries, better recall, and less manual cleanup.
Fathom felt more execution-oriented. It is still about notes and summaries, but the positioning is more team workflow: searchable transcripts, action items, follow-ups, integrations, and keeping decisions visible across calls. I can see it fitting customer calls, sales, CS, or any team where the meeting needs to turn into next steps quickly.
Otter felt the most transcript-first. The strongest use case seems to be capturing live conversations, turning them into searchable knowledge, and letting people ask questions across past meetings. I would probably think of it first when the transcript itself matters, like interviews, lectures, internal knowledge, or situations where people need to revisit exactly what was said.
Fireflies felt broader and more enterprise-like. It covers recording, transcription, summaries, search, integrations, conversation intelligence, and even real-time suggestions/coaching. It seems useful if a team wants a central meeting archive with analytics and workflows on top. The tradeoff is that it can feel like a bigger system, not just a lightweight note tool.
Relly was the roughest one because it is still beta, but it is aiming at a different part of the meeting. Instead of only summarizing after the meeting, it tries to show draft artifacts during the meeting, like a spec, research card, or rough product direction. The idea is that people can react to the same concrete thing while the meeting is happening, instead of discovering later that everyone had a different mental picture.
My takeaway is that “AI meeting notes” is too broad as a category. Some tools are better for personal notes, some are better for follow-up work, some are better as searchable archives, and some are starting to push closer to shared outputs during the meeting itself. The right choice probably depends less on which tool has the longest feature list, and more on where your meetings usually break down.
