Hey π I'm Jonathan. I struggle with ADHD on a day-to-day (I'm sure a lot of founders do π), and conversations disappear the moment they end - same with a lot of my thinking, and I hate traditional notes/the transcripts we get from traditional AI noteakers. I wanted something that organised my ideas the moment I say them out loud.
So I built Tackly - the AI notetaker that maps your thinking in real time, whether you're in a meeting, so just thinking on your own.
Dual Ingestion & Tri-Tier Real-Time Pipeline: To maintain sub-second (<80ms) visual responsiveness across both solo rants and group meetings, Tackly uses a dual-ingestion architecture covered by initial fast-path rendering (powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite).
Talk Solo π Hold a key, think out loud and watch a map of your thoughts (summarised, to only keep the important stuff) get built out in front of you.
Join a meeting π No need to connect your calendar as soon as you sign up - invite a bot instantly into your meeting by just pasting a link. As soon as Tackly joins your meeting a board is created, and a whole teams conversation gets mapped out in real time (you can even share the board via a live link for others to watch).
Upload a transcript π Hate boring summaries from other notetakers, just upload a transcript - it gets mapped out instantly.
During the build, and once core functionality was viable enough for me to use it - I created a thread on Tackly, spoke - and I followed along with my thoughts so easily. Exporting every session as an MD to Claude, which helped shipped Tackly in less than a week. I truly believe this is the new way of thinking.
@lorbes the Base44/Baseball example is a great real bug to have caught. does that same correction logic hold across sessions though, not just within one live conversation? like if you misspoke something three days ago in a solo session, it got mapped to a node, and now in today's meeting you say 'actually, going back to what I said about X' - does Tackly reach back into the older node and fix it, or is the real-time matching scoped to whatever session is currently live?
the ADHD framing resonates, that line about never losing a thought is exactly what's missing from tools built by people who don't actually have that problem themselves. curious about contradiction handling though - when you're rambling and go back on something you said 2 minutes earlier, like actually no scratch that, does Tackly catch that as an update to the existing node or does it just add a new one sitting alongside the old take?
The 'conversations disappear the moment they end' problem is real β I end up with Notion pages full of half-formed thoughts I never revisit. The real-time map-building demo looks like it captures the shape of an idea before it evaporates. Practical question about sharing: once I've built out a session's map, what does handing it off look like? If I'm building on something from a voice note last week and want to loop in a collaborator, is that a shareable link, a static export, or do they need to be in Tackly to see it meaningfully?
Thanks! Yeah, traditional summaries just don't cut it. Right now it's a one-off export, but cross-session context is on the radar agree that long-term memory loop would be lethal.
the "transcript with a summary bolted on" line is so accurate lol, that's exactly what's wrong with most of these.
quick question, when you export to MD and feed it to Claude, is that a one-off thing or are you building context across sessions? feels like that loop could get addictive once you're a few weeks in.
Jonathan, this speaks straight to anyone whose head fills up faster than they can write it down. Talking it out and finding it sorted afterward sounds like a small weight lifted.
Congrats on the launch! The fixed 20-node taxonomy is impressive! I was thinking... T1 assigns a provisional node type in under 80ms, then T2 can re-parent it later. When I'm mid-thought watching the map build, does that correction ever visibly reshuffle a node I was still reading?
This is such a refreshing take on AI note-taking. Turning a conversation into a live visual map feels much easier to revisit than scrolling through a long transcript or generic summary. I especially like that it works for both meetings and solo thinking sessions. Can Tackly recognize when an earlier idea comes up again and automatically connect it to the relevant node?
This looks really interesting, congrats on launching! The real time rendering is remarkable. How much editing can you do afterwards the first draft is done? Do you control it by voice or there is manual way to move stuff around, add additional notes, and so on?
the sub-80ms rendering target is a smart thing to optimize for specifically, since with a thinking tool any visible lag between saying something and seeing it land breaks the whole point of thinking out loud. question about the 20 nodes - is that a fixed taxonomy of note types, or an actual cap on distinct thought clusters per session? if it's the latter, what happens on a long rambling session that would naturally produce more than 20, does it merge similar ones or just get more selective about what makes the cut
Huge congrats on shipping @lorbes Solving note-taking for visual/ADHD thinkers is a massive problem.. qq How does Tackly decide how to cluster scattered thoughts into nodes when a solo rant jumps randomly between three different topics?
