Invisible assistant, that lives in your MacBook’s notch
A personal, secure meeting assistant that lives in your MacBook's notch. Listens to your meeting · suggests what to say · invisible on screen share · can run 100% on your Mac
Hi, I'm Hariharasudhan, and I built Assist.
Assist is a small Mac app that sits in the notch at the top of your MacBook screen. During a meeting it listens along, writes a live transcript, and when someone asks you a question, it quietly suggests what you could say back. Nobody else on the call can see it.
I built it to be a meeting assistant you can actually trust: it can run entirely on your own Mac, it stays out of screen shares, and it forgets everything the moment you quit.
