Make it the engine behind Azynote's chat and OnePagers.
Meetings
Transcribe a call, keep what surrounds it, and get a clean summary with the to-dos.
- SessionsThe unit of work in Azynote. Four ways to create one, pick whichever matches the moment.
- Real-time TranscriptionTranscribe your meetings live, on your Mac. The audio is discarded once it is transcribed, and you get clean, searchable text as you talk.
- Generate OnePagersThree ways to turn a session into a polished AI summary.
- OnePager TemplatesDesign your own OnePager structure. Build templates from Settings or from the chat.
- TasksEvery checkbox in a OnePager becomes a task. The Tasks view aggregates them across your workspace.
- SubjectsProject, client, or theme containers for your sessions. Tags, links, and an auto-generated status summary for every subject.
- Session AssetsDrag any file into a session. Screenshots, audio, docs, spreadsheets, all in one place.
Anywhere on your Mac
Speak, rewrite and capture in whatever app you are in.
- DictationSpeak instead of typing, in any app on your Mac. Your words land at your cursor, or go through the Command Panel first to become an email, a translation or a cleaner sentence.
- Command PanelTransform selected text anywhere on your Mac with a global hotkey. Pick an action, get the result pasted back in seconds.
- Quick CaptureGrab text from anywhere with a global hotkey. Azynote creates a session and drops your capture into a ready-to-edit OnePager.
- Voice conversationAsk Azynote a question out loud from any app and hear the answer. Talk live with Gemini or OpenAI, or turn by turn, answered by your Chat engine, fully on your Mac if you like.
- Keyboard ShortcutsEvery shortcut worth knowing, grouped by where you are: moving around the app, running a session, writing in a note, and anywhere on your Mac.
Notes and chat
Write your notes, then ask about everything you have written and heard.
- EditorThe Markdown editor behind every note and OnePager. File switching, Note ↔ OnePager conversion, and inline AI instructions.
- ChatAsk questions about a session, a subject, or anything in your workspace. Azynote's in-app AI companion.
- Scheduled instructionsPut @azynote in a calendar event and Azynote does what it says when the event starts: a reminder at 10, a summary of your mail every Monday at 9. Ask the chat and it schedules them for you.
- ArtifactsWhen an answer deserves more than a chat bubble, Azynote designs a page for it: a comparison, a report on your mail, a chart you can play with, even a small game. An artifact shows anything, and acts only when you press its Apply.
- Workspace profileAzynote learns who you are, what words mean in your world, and how you like your OnePagers, so you stop explaining it every time.
Connect and automate
Plug Azynote into your other tools, and run your own commands on meeting events.
- MCP ServerLet Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI tools connect to your Azynote workspace.
- MCP ClientConnect external MCP servers (GitHub, web search, filesystem, and more) to Azynote so the chat can reach into them.
- HooksRun a shell command of your own when a meeting is coming up or something happens in a session: a spoken reminder, joining the call, a nudge when a transcription goes quiet.
- Command lineDrive Azynote from Terminal, a script, a hook or a Stream Deck key with azynote-ctl: start and stop a transcription, write the OnePager, dictate, open a session, read your workspace.
