Talos AI Brings On‑Device Meeting Notes to Mac – Privacy‑First and Cloud‑Free
Talos AI Brings On‑Device Meeting Notes to Mac – Privacy‑First and Cloud‑Free
Talos AI, a new macOS application developed by Nick Payne, offers users the ability to generate meeting notes directly on their machines without sending any data to the cloud. Leveraging on‑device large language models, the app transcribes audio, summarizes discussions, and creates action items while keeping all information local, addressing growing privacy concerns around AI‑powered transcription services.
The tool integrates seamlessly with popular calendar and conferencing apps, allowing users to start recordings with a single click. Pricing starts at $9.99 per month, with a free tier that includes up to three meetings per month. Unlike competitors such as Granola, Talos AI does not require an internet connection for core functionality, positioning it as a privacy‑focused alternative.
