What explains the increase?
Ask about what you see, with the meeting in context
AI THAT STAYS WITH THE MEETING
Ask in the moment.
Keep the full context.
Sawti’s AI Assistant stays alongside your meeting. Ask for a natural reply, a concise recap, or a useful follow-up question without leaving the conversation.
Ask about what’s on your screen, the conversation, or how they connect. Sawti can use the latest screen context alongside the transcript and a Knowledge Bank you choose.
Screen Monitoring is optional and off by default. Turn it on to ask about what’s on screen; Sawti sends screen context to your configured AI connection only when you ask. A vision-capable model is required.

A few useful passages are added to the AI’s meeting context.
LOCAL BY DEFAULT. CLEAR BY DESIGN.
Your recordings stay
on your Mac.
Recording files and transcripts are stored locally. Speech recognition runs on-device. Sawti doesn’t upload meeting audio to a Sawti server.
AI notes and chat use the provider you configure. When an AI feature runs, Sawti sends the provider the context it needs—such as transcript text, selected Knowledge Bank passages, or a screen image for a screen-aware question. Choose a local model connection to keep that processing on your own machine or network.
When Hide Sawti from screen sharing is on, Sawti windows and the live-caption bar are excluded from screen shares and screen captures. You can toggle it from the menu bar.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few quick answers.
Does Sawti work without an AI subscription?
Recording and local transcription don’t require an AI subscription. AI notes and the live assistant need an AI connection you configure. You can point Sawti to a local model or use a supported cloud provider.
What can I add to a Knowledge Bank?
PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files, plus notes you write or save from a meeting. You choose the bank for each recording and can switch knowledge use off.
What Mac do I need?
Sawti’s current beta is for Apple silicon Macs (M1 or later) running macOS 14.2 or later. Speech models download on first use and can take up disk space.
Is Sawti ready for every meeting app?
Sawti is in beta. Recording paths and audio routes are still being qualified, so check the current release notes for known limitations before relying on a particular meeting setup.
