Capture the conversation, then inspect the evidence.
Record from the menu bar
Loci records the local macOS audio route you choose, including system audio and microphone input.
Process after the session
Transcription and generation run after capture. Loci does not show live transcription in this beta.
Review cited outputs
Decisions, questions, tasks, and chat answers point back to source conversation moments.
Verifiable notes
Outputs that can jump back to the conversation.
Loci is positioned around evidence, not polished summaries alone. The public claim is intentionally narrow: cited decisions, open questions, action items, and chat answers. The Story narrative is not source-linked today.
Summarized with a source moment so you can check context before acting.
Tracked as unanswered items that can be traced back to the meeting.
Extracted with source quotes and optional timestamps where available.
Answers cite transcript segments instead of returning unsupported claims.
