PingMeBud

The product is a macOS application that transcribes meeting audio locally and sends alerts when specified keywords such as a name, team, project, or custom term are mentioned. It addresses the problem of needing to monitor low-relevance meetings for moments when participation is required. It is for executives and professionals who attend many meetings while multitasking on other work. It is positioned as a local, invisible alternative to bots that join calls, with all processing kept on-device and in RAM with no cloud upload.
