Your second brain, captured by voice. MAI turns a spoken thought into organized notes, tasks, and summaries—so nothing you think slips away. Open the app, talk, and MAI transcribes, titles, summarizes, and files it for you. No typing, no formatting, no friction. HOW IT WORKS 1. Speak. Tap once and say whatever's on your mind—an idea, a to-do, a reflection, a full meeting. 2. MAI organizes. AI transcribes your voice, writes a clean summary, pulls out action items, and sorts it into the right project. 3. Recall anything. Search everything you've ever captured in plain language and pick up where you left off. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU THINK • Voice-first — capture at the speed of speech, hands-free. • ADHD & dyslexia friendly — get the thought out before it's gone; let AI handle the structure and spelling. • Busy, multi-project minds — keep every idea, note, and meeting separated by project. • Builders & web coders — save context from your AI coding sessions and pull it back when you need it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record voice notes and get instant transcripts + summaries • Send a notetaker to your Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams calls for the full transcript, summary, and action items • Turn any note into tasks and track them across projects • Draft LinkedIn posts, emails, and translations from a note in one tap • Search your entire second brain in natural language • Collaborate—share projects and entries with your team • Capture anywhere—iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac WORKS WITH CLAUDE & ANY MCP AI MAI connects to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI clients. Save references straight from your AI chats, then let your AI read and write your notes, meetings, and tasks—your second brain becomes the memory layer for everything you build.
