Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of the things I would want to do is - As the meeting is going on - I would like to ask a LLM what questions I could ask at that point in time. Especially if it's a subject I am not expert in. Would I be able to create an extension that could do this?

you can definitely do that in the future. but we had that on our mind as well from multiple requests - planning to add "eli5 - explain like i'm five" and "mmss - make me sound smart" ;) (edit: grammar fix)

Wow, does anything like this exist in current commercial tools?

ELI5 sounds useful.

MMSS sounds terrifying though, honestly.

Congrats on the launch! I'm very bullish on how powerful Something that I think is interesting about AI note taking products is focus. How does it choose what's important vs what isn't? The better it is at distinguishing the signal from the noise, the more powerful it is. I wonder if there is an in-context learning angle here where you can update the model weights (either directly or via LoRA) as you get to know the user better. And, of course, everything stays private and on-device.

Nice! Would be great if you could include in your launch message how you plan to monetize this. Everybody likes open source software and local-first is excellent too, but if you mention YC too then everybody also knows that there is no free lunch, so what's coming down the line would be good to know before deciding whether to give it a shot or just move on.

For individuals:

We have a Pro license implemented in our app. Some non-essential features like custom templates or multi-turn chat are gated behind a paid license. (A custom STT model will also be included soon.) There's still no sign-up required. We use keygen.sh to generate offline-verifiable license keys. Currently, it's priced at $179/year.

For business:

If they want to self-host some kind of admin server with integrations, access control, and SSO, we plan to sell a business license.

The idea of Hyprnote is that you write chicken-scratch-raw note during the meeting(what you think is important), and AI enhance based on it.

On-device learning is interesting too. For example, Gboard: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18465

And yes - we are open to this too

i think there are tools like cluely - where they propose to "cheat" on everything in real-time. or just wearables like waves that shows ar displays with real-time assist. (i've never used both of them before, but i understood their products like this) so proactive ai agents are somewhat becoming a thing I guess. but it all boils down to privacy for us.

mmss was something that a lot of users suggested - they wanted to be saved from public humiliation
