On your Mac. Only on your Mac.

Subscription meeting tools upload your calls to their cloud to transcribe and summarize them. Brieva runs the AI on your Mac, your meetings never touch anyone's servers - including ours.

How it works

Prep. Transcribe. Summarize.

Before the call, drop the emails and documents that matter onto the meeting and Brieva turns them into a one-page brief. During the call, it transcribes locally. After, it writes a summary with action items and follow-ups, drawn from the transcript.

01Week view

Open the app. Your week is already there.

Subscribed over ICS from whichever calendar you use - polled every 5 minutes, only changes pull through. Recurring meetings expand correctly, cancellations disappear, and dragging an Outlook event onto its tile fills in the attendees.

02Pre-meeting brief

Open a meeting. Read the brief.

Drop the emails and documents that matter onto the meeting. Brieva reads only what you add and writes a one-page brief - relevant topics, prior context, what's still unanswered - sharpening with every drop.

03Live transcribing

Start the call. Start transcribing.

Audio from any app - Teams, Zoom, anything - transcribed on-device as the call happens, grouped by voice as it streams. Every two minutes a local AI refreshes the running summary, keeping you up to date on key topics. You can stop the transcription at any time or allow the auto-stop feature to detect meeting end and start building the final summary automatically.

04Summary

Stop, and the summary writes itself.

A quick summary, key topics, action items, decisions and follow-ups - all drawn from the transcript. Flip to formatted Minutes or the full Transcript. Regenerate the summary anytime, or Continue if the meeting runs on.

This is a regular 1:1 with Sam Chen, your counterpart on the platform team. The conversation centres on the Q3 planning reshuffle: Sam has proposed moving the analytics workstream into Q4 so the team can pick up the partner-integration spike sooner. Finance has separately flagged a budget delta that needs a short paper before Thursday's steering committee, and the recurring design review slot now clashes with the engineering offsite.

Q3 Roadmap ReshuffleAnalytics Workstream TimingBudget ReallocationDesign Review Scheduling
  • Confirm whether the analytics workstream shifts from Q3 into Q4
  • Review the ~$120k budget delta Finance raised ahead of Thursday's steering committee
  • Agree a replacement design review slot that avoids the engineering offsite

Okay, picking up where we left off - I really do think the analytics work can move to Q4. It doesn't touch the launch path at all.
Me · 5:07
Right, and that frees up Maya's two engineers for the partner spike. Start that mid-June and we've got a real shot at the integration milestone.
Sam Chen · 5:33
Agreed. The only open question is the budget delta - Finance wants the one-pager before Thursday.

[IN PROGRESS] The call opened with a recap of the Q3 planning question. Sam reiterated the case for moving the analytics workstream into Q4 so the team can begin the partner-integration spike sooner, and walked through the capacity numbers behind it.

Key Points
  • Sam confirmed the analytics workstream can slip to Q4 without moving the launch date.
  • The partner-integration spike needs two engineers freed up by mid-June.
  • Budget delta still to be worked through before Thursday's steering committee.

Quick Summary

The 1:1 covered the Q3 planning reshuffle end to end. You and Sam agreed to move the analytics workstream into Q4, freeing two engineers for the partner-integration spike from mid-June. The budget delta Finance raised will be documented in a one-pager before Thursday's steering committee, and the recurring design review was moved off its clashing slot.

Thanks for jumping on. I wanted to close out the Q3 reshuffle today - did you get a look at the latest plan?
Me · 0:29
I did, last night. Moving analytics into Q4 makes sense to me - it genuinely doesn't touch the launch path.
Sam Chen · 1:04
Good. And that frees up two of Maya's engineers for the partner spike. I'd want them from mid-June.
Me · 1:42
That works. Let's give the spike a full two weeks, not one - a single week never lands.
Sam Chen · 2:18
Agreed. Last thing - the budget delta. Finance wants the one-pager before Thursday.
Me · 2:51
I'll draft it today. It's mostly the contractor line, the ~$120k we flagged earlier.
