AI meeting notes,no bot in the call
Some meetings cannot have a recorder in them: client calls under NDA, legal and HR conversations, workshops where “this call is being recorded” would change what people say. Khint gives you the AI half of a note-taker anyway: you type notes as usual, and one keyboard shortcut turns them into minutes, action items, and tickets afterwards. No bot, no audio, no consent banner.
The recorder changes the meeting,
then owns the record
AI note-takers that join the call solve the write-up and create two new problems. First, the room changes: a client who sees a bot in the attendee list, or hears the recording notice, negotiates differently, and in plenty of companies the bot is simply not allowed in. Second, the record moves: an audio transcript of everything everyone said now lives in a vendor's cloud account, which is exactly what your NDA or your legal team did not want. Khint takes the other path. You keep being the note-taker, which nobody has to consent to, and the AI work happens after, on your own text: an Agent turns scratch notes into minutes and action items, Capture grabs what was shared on screen when you need it, and Memory keeps the whole call in a session that never leaves your machine.
Same outcome, different footprint
What changes when the AI works on your notes instead of the room's audio.
- A bot joins the call and everyone sees it
- Records audio of every attendee
- Transcript lives in a vendor's cloud account
- Captures the whole hour, signal and noise
- Nothing joins the call, nothing to announce
- Works on notes you type and text you select
- Sessions stay in a local database on your machine
- You filter live; AI structures what mattered
A client call you could not record,
written up anyway
A discovery call under NDA, step by step.
Start a Memory session, not a recording
Before the call, open Memory and start a session: “Acme discovery call”. Nothing joins the meeting and nobody is asked to consent to anything. The session is simply where your notes, captures, and AI runs for this call will accumulate, in a local database on your machine. How Memory works →
Type notes the way you always have
You stay the note-taker: “Legal wants data residency in writing. Petra pushes go-live to March. Their IT lead skeptical about SSO scope. We owe them a revised SOW by Tue.” Because you are filtering live, every line you write is something that actually mattered, which is exactly what a transcript of an hour of audio is not.
Capture the deck instead of asking for it
When the client shares pricing tables or an architecture slide, open the palette and run Extract text: draw a region over the shared window and the text lands in your clipboard, ready to paste into your notes. Capture and ask does the same but opens a chat when you need the figures explained. Each capture is a deliberate action on a region you chose, never a recording.
After the call, run your Actions on the notes
Select the scratch notes and trigger a saved Action from the palette (Cmd+Shift+K): one pass for structured minutes, another to pull the action items with owners and dates. The Action editor can Generate those prompts from a plain-language description, and with the session active the model already knows the names and topics from earlier captures and runs.
File the follow-ups where they belong
With the work integrations connected, the palette files the output without copy-paste: create the Jira issue for the SOW revision, publish the minutes as a Confluence page, or drop the recap into a Gmail draft for the attendees. Each write is a row you trigger yourself, one at a time, and each one is logged back into the session, so the call ends with a record of what was decided and what you sent.
Your notes are the record, and they compound
Because everything ran inside a Memory session, the call is more than a page of minutes. Copy recap turns the whole session, notes, captures, and outputs, into paste-ready markdown for a colleague who missed it. A workflow of up to five steps can chain the write-up in one go: draft the minutes, then create the Jira issue, then hand the result onward. And since Khint ships an MCP server, Claude Desktop or Codex can read the session directly when you want to go deeper on what the client said, without the notes ever leaving your machine to get there. For the write-up mechanics themselves, see the AI meeting minutes generator and meeting notes to Jira tickets pages.
Common questions
Does Khint join, record, or transcribe my meetings?
No. Khint has no meeting bot, no audio capture, and no transcription. Nothing joins the call, nothing appears in the participant list, and there is no recording notice for anyone to accept. Khint is a menu-bar app that works on text: the notes you type yourself, the text you select, and the screen regions you deliberately capture. AI only runs when you press your shortcut and trigger an Action on that text.
If there is no transcript, how do I still get minutes and action items?
From your own typed notes. During the call you keep the scratch notes you would have kept anyway. Afterwards you select them and run a saved AI Action from the palette: one Action reformats them into structured minutes, another extracts the action items with owners. The output is built only from what you wrote, so it never puts words in an attendee's mouth the way a mis-heard transcript can. You write the Action once and reuse it for every meeting.
What about the slides or figures someone shares on screen?
Use Capture instead of asking for the file. From the palette, Extract text draws a region over the shared window and copies the text out of it, and Capture and ask opens a chat about the captured area when you need the numbers explained. Both are actions you trigger on a region you choose: there is no ambient screen recording. On the free plan you get 5 captures per day.
Where do my meeting notes end up?
In a Memory work session stored in a local SQLite database on your machine. Sessions are never synced to Khint's cloud. When you run an Action, only the text you selected leaves your device, plus the compacted session summary if a session is active and the Action opts in. Khint is free to start with 10 AI actions and 5 captures per day, no credit card; paid plans start at €7/mo.
Keep the bot out, keep the write-up
