Looks really cool - I noticed Enterprise has smart consent management? The thing I think some enterprise customers are worried about in this space is that in many jurisdictions you legally need to disclose recording - having a bot join the call can do that disclosure - but users hate the bot and it takes up too much visibility on many of these calls. Would love to learn more about your approach there

yes, we’re rolling out flexible consent options based on legal needs - like chat messages, silent bots, blinking backgrounds, or consent links before/during meetings. but still figuring out if there's a more elegant way to do this. would love to hear your take as well.

The only issue I have with those tools, and I have not seen a single one even acknowledge this, is that it becomes completely useless when holding meetings in a hybrid fashion where some people are remote and others are in the office with a shared mic.

Almost all of our meetings are hybrid in this way, and it's a real pain having almost half of the meeting be identified as a single individual talking because the mic is hooked up to their machine.

It's a total dealbreaker for us, and we won't use such tools until that problem is solved.

I think if you put N-1 mics in the room (where N is the number of people) you could easily identify all individuals...

It can be solved with speaker segmentation/embedding models, although it is not perfect. One thing we do with Hyprnote is that we have a Descript-like transcript editor that allows you to easily edit/assign speakers. Once we integrate a speaker diarization model with that, I think we'll be in good shape.

If you are interested, you can join our Discord and follow updates. :) https://hyprnote.com/discord

you might need an AI for in-person meeting first. Such tools are available to doctors who see patients. The note taking is great but I think it is skewed towards one-person summary where the name of the patient remains unknown. I wonder if the same tool can take notes if two patients are in the room and distinguish between each one.

The second tool is likely hardware limitation. A multi-cam-mic with beam forming capability to deconstruct overlapping sounds.

Looks great. From my experience Tauri team has no clue what mobile is and they're not interested in fixing mobile issues. I can already tell the mobile version will be a disappointment.

We tried Tauri mobile (few months ago) and had the same disappointment. We will use RN or Dioxus(to share Rust code) for the mobile version. So it will be cool :)

I was talking about this a week ago. One person wanted to make a pdf tutorial of how to use a software. I asked him to record himself in teams and share his screen and have AI take notes. It will create a fabulous summary with snapshots of everything he is going over.

Super cool, congrats on the launch - will be trying this soon! I noticed it’s using Tauri - what are your main takeaways from building a local inference desktop app with it?

Thanks. I learned that running a server on the Rust side and calling it from a TypeScript frontend is a good approach. For example, we run an OpenAI-compatible server using a Tauri plugin ( https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/tree/main/plugins/local... ) and call it using the Vercel AI SDK.

I’ve been thinking about ways to reuse Vercel’s AI SDK, so this is a great one - thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you figured that out early on. Sounds like mobile is going to be great indeed
