What it does

Assistly is a live meeting assistant for macOS and Windows. No bot joins your call — it works from your computer's audio and puts guidance on your screen the moment a question lands, in a private overlay that never shows in screen shares or recordings. Every speaker tracked, dozens of languages, and notes with action items after every session.

Live guidance on your screen while the question is still being asked. No bot joins the call, and nothing shows up in screen shares. What makes you different from the last two tools we tried?

You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
