Hyper – A stupidly non-corporate voice AI app for IRL conversations
Hey HN, we're building Hyper: an iOS voice recorder for the conversations that matter too much to pause and take notes. 1:1s with your cofounder, coffee chats, standups, whiteboard sessions. One tap to record, and when you're done you get a summary, full transcript, and tappable action items (calendar events, reminders, email drafts) — no notes needed.

In plain words
Hyper is an iOS voice recorder designed for capturing unstructured conversations like one-on-one meetings, coffee chats, and brainstorming sessions. It records conversations with a single tap and automatically generates summaries, full transcripts, and actionable items such as calendar events, reminders, and email drafts. Users can ask questions during recording using voice commands without interrupting the conversation. The app targets professionals and teams who need to preserve spontaneous, consequential discussions that happen outside of scheduled video calls.

I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings.
