Record a meeting, get a note you can act on. IamWriter listens, writes the note, and then does the follow-up work: the email, the task list, the document. Ask for anything in plain words, and it picks the right tool: your notes, your saved prompts, the web, or an image. Talk to it or type to it. Every result is saved to your account and ready on iPhone, Mac, and the web. Capture to Action: • Record Meetings: Tap record, and IamWriter transcribes the meeting into a note with a summary, action items, and decisions, filed in your notes. Recording keeps going while you use other apps, and if a call interrupts, you pick up where you left off. • Organize Notes: Keep notes in folders, search them, move them, and edit them in Markdown. Your saved notes stay readable offline, and changes sync when you are back online. • Act on Any Note: Ask AI about a note to summarize it, list the action items, draft a follow-up email, or clean up the formatting. Ask it to save details to your notes from any request. You decide whether each change is applied, or allow non-delete changes automatically. • One Request, the Right Tool: Ask in your own words. IamWriter reads your notes when they matter, runs one of your saved prompts and asks for the details it still needs, searches the web when you turn Search on, and generates an image when the task calls for one. It shows what it is doing while you wait. • Memory: Turn on Memory and IamWriter keeps lasting details from your requests, like how you like to write and what you are working on, and uses them next time. Everything it remembers is listed in Settings, where you can delete any item or forget it all. Simplified Daily Writing: • Social Media: Write posts for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram in the tone you want, hashtags included. • Special Occasions: Birthday wishes, thank-you notes, invitations, and the replies that are hard to find words for. • Work and Academic: Business emails and replies, cover letters, paragraphs, essays, and full articles with clear structure. Powerful Writing Tools: • Multilingual: Write, translate, and summarize in many languages. Meeting notes come back in the language that was spoken. • Quick Summaries: Turn long texts, PDF files, and YouTube videos into concise summaries in the length you choose. • Grammar, Paraphrase, and Tone: Fix grammar, rewrite a passage, or change the tone of a text without changing its meaning. • Files as Context: Attach images, PDFs, or text files to a request, and every follow-up in that chat can use them. • Tailored Experience: Build your own prompts for tasks you repeat, like "Dinner suggestions" or "Weekly status update". Once saved, IamWriter can pick them up on its own when a request matches. • Conversations and History: Every result stays in History. Continue any of them as a conversation, ask for a change, or go back to an earlier version. Start free. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited generations. Speak it, note it, act on it. IamWriter turns what you say into work that is done. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
