What Shadow AI is

A Mac notetaker that works from your side of the call. It records the audio, transcribes it, and also captures what was on the screen, so a meeting where someone demoed something leaves a record of both.

No bot appears in the participant list, which is why some teams prefer this approach.

What you can do with it

Record meeting audio locally
Transcribe what was said
Capture on-screen context
Generate follow-up items
Take notes without a bot joining
Keep both spoken and shown context together

Who it is for

Mac users in frequent meetings
Product and customer-facing teams
People whose meetings include demos
Teams whose clients object to recording bots

What to watch out for

Recording a meeting and capturing a screen both need consent
Screen capture will record whatever is visible, including notifications and other windows
Sensitive data needs protecting, and recordings should have retention rules
It is Mac-only, so mixed-platform teams cannot all use it
