Product story
Built for teams that cannot afford casual data leakage.
Debrief is not another cloud meeting tool built around uploads and policy-page caveats. It is designed for founders, operators, consultants, and privacy-sensitive organizations that want strong notes without handing raw audio to someone else's infrastructure.
Local recording and transcription
Audio capture, speech-to-text, and summary generation run on the device using local AI models.
Live transcript while the meeting is happening
Debrief processes recording chunks as they arrive so users can monitor the conversation instead of waiting until the end.
Notes people can actually use
Output includes a title, summary bullets, action items, key decisions, topic tags, and full transcript history.
Model control stays in the user's hands
Users can choose the Whisper model that fits their device and add a local LLM when they want deeper summaries.
Search, review, export, share
Meetings remain searchable on the device and can be exported in plain text or Markdown without changing the privacy model.
Works where connectivity is weak
Once the models are downloaded, the core workflow is designed around local execution instead of a permanent internet dependency.
How it works
A clear three-step flow from capture to decision.
The workflow is simple: install the right models for the device, record locally, and process the meeting into structured notes when the conversation ends.
Install the models once
Download a Whisper transcription model for the device. Add the local summary model to unlock action items, decisions, and richer notes.
Record with live status and transcript updates
Start recording in seconds, capture participant context, and watch transcript chunks update as the meeting progresses.
Review summaries and ship the follow-up
Debrief turns the transcript into a concise title, bullet summary, action items, key decisions, and searchable meeting history.
Device Fit
On-device AI is more private, but it is not identical on every phone.
Debrief is intentionally transparent about the tradeoff. Because transcription and summaries run locally, results depend on RAM, free storage, and how large a model the device can comfortably handle. The app recommends a transcription model based on device memory, but newer phones will deliver the strongest overall experience.
Best experience
Recent iPhones and flagship Androids
8 GB RAM class or better
- Best fit for Whisper Medium or Whisper Large Turbo
- Best chance of handling the optional 2.5 GB summary model well
- Strongest live transcript responsiveness and richest note generation
Strong everyday use
Modern phones with solid memory headroom
6 GB RAM class
- Good fit for Whisper Medium in many everyday workflows
- Summary model may still be practical if storage headroom is available
- Good balance for regular meeting capture and structured notes
Lighter local processing
Older phones and budget devices
2 GB to 4 GB RAM class
- Start with Whisper Base or Whisper Small
- Expect slower transcription and less room for large models
- Best for recording-first workflows and smaller local setups
Fallback path
If you skip the larger models at first
Still usable, with reduced AI depth
- Recording still works without a Whisper model installed
- Without Whisper, live transcription is disabled
- Without the summary model, Debrief falls back to a simpler summary path

In-app model recommendation logic
Transparency matters here.
Debrief is best used on newer phones with enough free storage and memory for local models. That is the cost of keeping audio and AI processing on the device instead of shipping private meetings to a server. The privacy gets stronger, but the hardware matters more.
Why Debrief wins
Privacy-first by architecture, not by a promise buried in fine print.
Debrief keeps its strongest claim simple. The important work happens on the device. That gives buyers a clearer answer to privacy, ownership, and compliance questions than a standard upload-first workflow.

Product value depends on another company's infrastructure.
Core value comes from local inference and local storage.
Privacy reassurance is usually policy-based.
Privacy reassurance is built into the workflow itself.
Users get transcript-heavy output.
Users get summaries, action items, decisions, and tags.
Best-fit buyers
Position Debrief for the people who care about memory and confidentiality.
Founders and product leads
Capture customer calls, roadmap reviews, and standups without adding another cloud system to the stack.
Consultants and client services teams
Keep sensitive conversations close to the device while still walking away with usable notes and follow-up actions.
Operations and field teams
Work in environments where connectivity is inconsistent and local-first tooling is more reliable than server-dependent workflows.
Privacy-sensitive organizations
Use Debrief as the simple answer when leadership asks where the audio goes and who can access it.

FAQ
Answer the objections before the buyer asks them.
No. The product is positioned around local recording, local transcription, and local summary generation. Audio stays on the device unless the user explicitly exports content.
The app can generate a meeting title, summary bullets, action items, key decisions, topic tags, and a full transcript, all based on the recorded meeting.
Once the required models are downloaded, the core recording and processing flow is designed around on-device execution rather than constant internet access.
No. Debrief runs AI models on the device, so performance depends on RAM, free storage, and the model size the phone can support. Newer devices will generally handle larger models and richer summaries better than older or budget phones.
The product codebase is a mobile app targeting iOS and Android, with the website acting as the marketing and sales layer for that product.
Launch CTA
Need more than a download link?
If someone wants to talk about business use, partnerships, team rollout, privacy requirements, or product feedback, email is the right CTA. For regular users, the website should push directly to the App Store or Google Play.
