Speaker-attributed live transcription
Watch the transcript grow during the meeting. Each intervention stays attached to the participant exposed by the platform.

Kuali listens while you talk, transcribes every participant live on your computer, and turns the result into searchable decisions and tasks.

What Kuali changes
Know who said what.
LIVE
OPTIONAL
Know who said what.
While it is still happening.
Kuali is more than a block of text after the call. It keeps speaker identity, live context, decisions, and ownership connected from the first word.
Searchable meeting library
Find a phrase, channel, participant, or date and jump back into the exact context.
Whisper + Silero, locally
Whisper handles transcription. Silero keeps keyboard noise, bumps, and background hum away from the decoder.
Decisions and tasks people can own
When enabled, your chosen LLM extracts key points, open questions, decisions, and tasks by participant. Turn it off and no transcript is sent to an LLM.
Concurrent meetings
Record separate calls at the same time without mixing participants, clocks, or transcripts.
Completed-meeting webhooks
Let other tools subscribe to signed events containing the full meeting and generated insights.
A quieter workflow
Join. Talk. Find it later.

Your computer is the boundary
Everything Kuali creates lives on your PC.
Transcripts, meetings, tasks, settings, and logs are stored only on your computer. Kuali has no proprietary cloud and never synchronizes this data on its own.

Questions, answered
Before you invite Kuali.
Does Kuali upload meeting audio?
No. Whisper and Silero process raw audio in memory on your computer. Kuali does not retain an audio recording or send it to a Kuali-operated service.
Can it tell speakers apart?
Yes. Kuali preserves participant identity when Discord or the browser meeting service exposes it. If a source provides mixed audio, Kuali labels it honestly instead of inventing attribution.
Do I need an external AI provider?
No. Transcription works locally without an LLM. Summaries and tasks are optional and remain off whenever you disable them in Settings.
Does Kuali announce that it is transcribing?
On Discord, Kuali plays and posts the consent notice when it joins and repeats it for people who arrive later. It also keeps an append-only consent audit log.
Is Kuali free?
Yes. The desktop application is open source under MIT. The interoperable browser extension is distributed under Apache-2.0.
