QuietHint listens to your call on your Mac and suggests a short reply while a question is still being asked. No bot joins the meeting and audio never leaves your device: speech is transcribed on the Mac, with your words kept apart from theirs. Hints land in a small overlay during the call, not in a summary afterwards. Works with any call app, uses your own Anthropic key, free to try on Apple silicon.
Every meeting assistant I tried wanted two things from me: a bot in my calls and my recordings on its servers. I did not want to give it either.

It works with the call app you already use, on your own Anthropic key, so nobody else ever sees your conversations. Not even us.
One question for you: what is the thing you most wish you had known in the middle of your last call?
I am here all day. Ask me anything about how it works, and about what it does not do yet.
Very interesting product Pavel and congrats on the launch.
I loved the website, the app is really polished, and the overall is presentation of QuietHint is great.
I had a few questions as I wasn't able to try it out yet:
How does it retrieve the audio - is it listening to the audio channel or does it integrate with the teams etc?
Since macs now come with a decent version of Apple Intelligence, could we have the option to select the AI model in the future ?
The one scenario I am a bit skeptical about is when we get difficult questions which makes the user nervois and the AI itself might need time to think - it might be useful to have some time buying prompts during the loading / buffering (take a sip of water, ask for a moment to think etc) as these are totally normal responses but human psychology is to want to answer right away
Congrats on the launch and you should all be proud of the execution.
Woah! The website is so good, love it!!! This deserves an upvote haha
But about the product, I don't want to be rude, I just want to understand: what's the main difference from all the other notetakers? Honestly, I'm here every week, and every day or two I see a new notetaker launch, so I'm starting to get a bit tired of this category ^_^
I was curious about the pricing at first because the transcription is running locally on the Mac, which made me wonder where the ongoing AI cost comes in. Then I saw that the hints use the user's own Anthropic key. The $9/month is essentially for the app and unlimited suggestions, while Anthropic usage is separate. That makes a lot more sense now.
