A botless meeting recorder and summarizer that runs in the browser

I built a browser app for recording calls and turning them into transcripts/summaries without inviting a meeting bot. The current version is BYOK: you provide an OpenAI API key, stored locally in your browser. Recordings/projects stay in browser storage; selected audio/transcript text is sent to OpenAI only when you run transcription/summary. I am testing whether the wedge is real: no bot in the meeting, no SaaS workspace for recordings, summaries/exports afterward. I would appreciate feedback on the trust boundary and whether BYOK is acceptable for a first version.…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I built a browser app for recording calls and turning them into transcripts/summaries without inviting a meeting bot. The current version is BYOK: you provide an OpenAI API key, stored locally in your browser. Recordings/projects stay in browser storage; selected audio/transcript text is sent to OpenAI only when you run transcription/summary. I am testing whether the wedge is real: no bot in the meeting, no SaaS workspace for recordings, summaries/exports afterward. I would appreciate feedback on the trust boundary and whether BYOK is acceptable for a first version. I used it once to record a meeting I didn't want to spend 1 hour on, and just needed the summary - the tool captured the meeting audio even after I turned off the laptop audio.

    Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
