clawd

Effortless

Think out loud

Meetings, walks, one-to-ones. You're already saying everything that matters.

Zero trust

Privately captured

Audio syncs from your phone to your computer over local Wi-Fi. No cloud.

On-device

Locally processed

Transcribed on your machine. Matched against your calendar. Structured into decisions, actions, ideas.

Compounding

Minutely updated

Your context layer grows with every conversation. Feed it to any AI assistant. Stop repeating yourself.

The problem

Every conversation with AI starts from zero.

You spend the first five messages giving context. Tomorrow, you start over. Your decisions, commitments, and ideas are scattered across recordings nobody re-listens to.

Transcription apps

A wall of text is not a briefing

Otter, Fireflies, and friends give you raw words. You still have to find the signal. Nobody reads a 12,000-word transcript to find the three things that matter.

Meeting recorders

80% of your thinking happens outside meetings

Walking to the car. Post-meeting processing. Morning commute. The voice memos you record between meetings are where the real synthesis happens.

Note-taking apps

The whole point of voice is that you don't type

If you had time to write structured notes, you wouldn't be recording voice memos. The tool should meet you where you are: talking.

Built for conversations that shouldn't go through a cloud

Three layers. Fully private.

Capture

Hit record in the morning and forget about it. Use your iPhone in your pocket, or clip on a mic for cleaner audio. One continuous recording. No pausing, no segmenting. Add context when you want: "heading into the Nordgren call" makes the synthesis smarter, but it's optional.

Opus codec · 16kbps voice-optimized · battery-efficient VAD

Private pipeline

Audio streams to your computer privately over local Wi-Fi. Transcription runs locally on your machine. Processing is continuous: new action items and decisions surface as your day unfolds, not as a batch dump at midnight.

Local LAN sync · Whisper on-device · zero cloud dependency

Growing intelligence

minutely splices your continuous recording against your calendar, identifies meetings, solo thinking, and context you added. Daily summaries roll up into weekly and monthly briefings. Your personal knowledge layer compounds over time.

Daily → Weekly → Monthly rollups · bounded context · infinite history

What you get

Not a transcript. A briefing.

Hit record in the morning. Stop when you're done for the day. minutely does the rest.

Tuesday, Mar 11 — Daily Briefing · 1 recording, 4h 12m

Timeline

08:40 your context Walking in. Today's the day we decide on the launch date. Lena wants to ship the 18th but we're missing real-time cursors.

09:02 standup Jonas flagged the cursor sync is 3 days out. Team debated shipping without it. Decided: ship v1 on the 18th, cursors move to v1.1.

10:15 customer call Nordgren wants audit logs before they sign. $280k deal. Jonas says 2 days. Committed to call them back tomorrow with a timeline.

10:48 your context Just hung up with Nordgren. Audit logs feel like a vertical signal, not just one customer. Enterprise compliance could be a real wedge for us.

11:30 CEO walk Pricing discussion with Lena. Competitor just went usage-based. "If we can't explain the pricing in one sentence, it's wrong." Killing per-seat idea.

Decisions

Ship collab v1 on the 18th without real-time cursors. Cursors move to v1.1.
Give Nordgren the audit log. Jonas says 2 days. Worth it for a $280k deal.
Kill per-seat pricing. Market is moving to usage-based.

Ideas worth preserving

Audit log request as a vertical signal. Enterprise compliance could be a wedge.
"If we can't explain the pricing in one sentence, it's wrong."
Feed customer call recordings into minutely. Team context without everyone on every call.

// your personal context, structured and portable

dailies/2026-04-09.json   // today's synthesis
dailies/2026-04-08.json   // yesterday's decisions
weeklies/2026-W15.json   // this week's themes
monthlies/2026-04.json   // April's strategic patterns

// feed to any AI assistant
context = load("~/.minutely/dailies/*.json")
assistant.set_context(context)

// now it actually knows you
assistant.ask("What did we decide about pricing?")
// → "On April 3rd, you decided to move to phone collection
// over book-a-demo because friction was too high."
