## What is Canary?

Canary turns any meeting into a live, scrolling summary. No note-taking, no scrubbing a recording afterward.

Put your phone on the table and Canary listens, transcribing and summarizing in real time. Glance down any moment to see what's being discussed right now, what happened in the last 2 or 5 minutes, or a running summary of the whole meeting, each at the level of detail you want.

REAL-TIME, NOT AFTER-THE-FACT
Most meeting tools hand you a transcript when it's over. Canary summarizes while you're still in the room, so you stay present instead of scribbling notes, and catch up instantly if your attention drifts.

FOUR TIME WINDOWS, THREE DETAIL LEVELS
Now - the last 30 seconds, for "wait, what did they just say?"
2 min / 5 min - recent context without the noise
Full - the running summary of the entire meeting
Toggle Short, Medium, or Detailed on any of them.

ACTION ITEMS AND DECISIONS, AUTOMATICALLY
Canary flags concrete action items and key decisions as they're made, then bundles them into a clean recap when the meeting ends.

YOUR MEETINGS, REVISITED
Every meeting is saved with its summary, action items, and full transcript so you can search back later.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Audio is streamed in short chunks for transcription and never written to disk. Once a chunk becomes text, the audio is gone.

Canary Pro unlocks unlimited meetings and longer recordings. Free to try.
