About

Read full description

Weaver is project memory for small teams. Record a meeting, and Weaver writes down who was there, what was discussed, what was decided and who owes what - then keeps every project's picture up to date, and tells you what's slipping before you have to ask. RECORD A MEETING Put your phone on the table and hit record. Weaver keeps recording with the screen locked, so the phone can go back in your pocket for the whole hour. When you stop, it transcribes the meeting, names the speakers and pulls out the decisions and action items on its own. JOIN A CALL Paste a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link and Weaver joins the call as a participant and takes the notes for you. DICTATE A NOTE Walking out of a site visit with a head full of things? Switch to "Just me" and talk. Weaver tells you what you covered and asks where the note belongs, instead of guessing. MINUTES, WRITTEN FOR YOU Every meeting gets proper minutes: attendees, what was discussed, decisions and action items with owners. Copy them, translate them, or share them. THE MAP: WHAT NEEDS YOU All your projects on one circle, with time running outwards from today. Weaver lights up what needs you: overdue items, decisions that clash across projects, the same problem coming back, and your own open tasks. THE LOOM: WHO HOLDS IT TOGETHER Each person is a soft ribbon flowing through the meetings they were in, ending in what they still have open. See at a glance who connects two projects, who is carrying the most, and what is late - and tap a name to mark something done or hand it to someone else. ASK ACROSS EVERYTHING Ask "what did we decide about the windows?" and get an answer drawn from every meeting, with links back to the meetings it came from - so you can check it rather than take it on faith. EVERY PROJECT REMEMBERS Each project keeps a plain-language summary of where things stand, newest news first - the paragraph you'd want after two weeks away - and closes action items on its own when a later meeting says they're done. WORKS WITH THE REST OF WEAVER On the web you can also paste transcripts, upload recordings and documents, invite Weaver to calendar invites, and share projects with your team. Same account, same picture. Weaver is built for work. A Weaver account is required. Terms of Use (EULA): https://weavecompanion.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://weavecompanion.com/privacy Weaver on your wrist: your next meeting and open tasks at a glance, a quick question to Ask, and one tap to record a meeting. Recordings go to Weaver through your iPhone.
