Meeting notes

AI meeting notes that file themselves to the right contact

This is how Orbit does AI meeting notes: the meeting recorder captures your call and transcribes it on your own device, then Hiro turns the transcript into a clean summary that lands on the right contact's timeline. The audio never leaves your machine, and the recap waits for you to approve it before it sticks. The recorder is on the Pro plan.

How does Orbit record and transcribe a meeting?

Open the meeting recorder, press start, and Orbit captures the call. Transcription runs on your own device, so the audio is never uploaded anywhere. That is the part most note-takers get wrong: they ship your conversations to a cloud server you do not control. Orbit keeps the raw audio on your hardware.

From the transcript, you ask Hiro to write the recap. It pulls out what was decided, what you promised, and what the other person needs, then files it to the contact's timeline alongside their emails and notes. For the deeper version of what Hiro produces from any call, the AI call summaries page walks through the recap-and-action-item format in detail.

What ends up on the timeline after a call?

One recorded meeting becomes a tidy, searchable record:

  • A short summary of what the call was about, in plain language.
  • The decisions made and any next steps, so nothing lives only in your memory.
  • Action items Hiro spotted, ready to become tasks in your GTD inbox.
  • The full transcript, attached, so you can re-read the exact words later.
  • All of it linked to the contact, so the next time you open them it is right there.

The audio stays on your device. The recap lands on the timeline. You approve it before it sticks. That is the whole loop.

What does Hiro not do?

Hiro does not auto-send anything. The recap is a draft you review, and if you want to turn it into a recap email to the other person, that goes out from your own Orbit email address only after you approve it. Nothing leaves with your name on it without your sign-off.

It also does not guess at people who were not on the call. Hiro summarizes what was said, files it to the contact you recorded, and stops there. The transcript is the source of truth, so the recap stays honest to what actually happened.

What does it run on, and who is it for?

The meeting recorder and its on-device transcription are on the Pro plan at $14/mo. Hiro's recap uses the free monthly AI credits included on every plan, with no API key to paste. You can top up with credit packs if you only summarize the odd call.

It fits anyone who lives in back-to-back calls and hates writing them up afterward: consultants, coaches, advisors, founders. If your notes usually end up as three illegible bullets in a different app, this is the fix.

Frequently asked questions

Does Orbit upload my call audio to the cloud?+

No. Transcription runs on your own device, so the raw audio never leaves your machine. Only the recap that Hiro writes is stored, and that lands on the contact timeline for you to review.

Is the meeting recorder free?+

The meeting recorder and its on-device transcription are on the Pro plan at $14/mo. Hiro's written recap uses the free monthly AI credits included on every plan, with no API key to paste, plus optional credit packs.

Where do the notes go after a call?+

Hiro files the summary, decisions, next steps, and the full transcript to the contact's timeline, right alongside their emails and other notes. Action items it spots can become tasks in your GTD inbox.

Will Orbit email the recap to the other person automatically?+

Not unless you approve it. Hiro writes the recap and can draft a recap email, but it only sends from your own Orbit email address after you review and approve the card. Nothing auto-sends in Orbit.

Can I still read the exact transcript later?+

Yes. The full transcript is attached to the timeline entry, so you can re-read the actual words any time, not just Hiro's summary of them.
