AI meeting notes for the meetings that happen in a room, without a bot joining the call. Fluent records your meetings and work conversations on your iPhone or a wearable, then turns them into memories you can come back to: what was said, what you promised, what others promised you, and what matters to each person. Then it coaches you on how you actually communicate. RECORD ANYWHERE Tap to record on iPhone, start from the Action Button, or connect an Omi or Limitless pendant. Fluent transcribes with speaker labels and keeps recording in the background. NEVER DROP A FOLLOW-UP Fluent pulls commitments out of every conversation — the ones you made and the ones you're waiting on — with the quote that proves it. KNOW YOUR CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES Fluent builds a profile of everyone you meet with: what they're focused on, what they need, how they like to communicate and what you discussed last, so you walk into every meeting prepared. COACHING ON REAL CONVERSATIONS Set goals like "Be more concise in meetings" or "Ask better questions." Fluent scores you on evidence from what you actually said, shows the moments that helped or hurt, and tracks your progress over time. SUMMARIES AND TRANSCRIPTS Get meeting summaries with decisions, highlights and next steps, plus full speaker-labeled transcripts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data and never use your conversations to train AI models.
