How is AiCopal different from notetakers like Granola, Fireflies or Otter?
They work after your meeting — recording it, then handing you a summary. AiCopal works during it: it detects questions the moment they are asked and answers in milliseconds, grounded in your own sessions, documents and groups. You leave the conversation sharper, not just better documented. And no bot ever joins your call.
What does real-time assistance actually mean?
While you are talking, AiCopal listens, spots that a question was asked — no hotkey, no typing — and puts a grounded answer on your screen while the conversation is still moving. It is the difference between reading a recap tonight and having the answer when it mattered this afternoon.
If I stay on the Free plan, do I lose my transcripts or sessions?
Never. Free is free forever — your transcripts, sessions and summaries never expire and are never locked behind a paywall. Paid plans add more daily transcription time and smarter AI models; keeping access to your own work is never one of the things you pay for.
Does AiCopal use a meeting bot?
No. AiCopal captures audio directly on your device, so nothing joins your call and nobody has to approve a bot.
What does "grounded in my context" mean?
Answers are built from what you have given AiCopal — your live transcript, your past sessions, your uploaded documents and your groups — and show their source. It answers like a colleague who was in all your meetings, not like a search engine guessing from the internet.
Can I use my AiCopal conversations in Claude, ChatGPT or other AI tools?
Yes. AiCopal’s MCP integration connects your transcripts, sessions and knowledge to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-capable AI tool — so everything you have discussed becomes context wherever you work. Included with the Plus and Pro plans.
Does AiCopal have semantic search across my meetings?
Yes. Semantic search understands what you meant, not just the words you typed — ask for "the call where we discussed the renewal discount" and AiCopal finds it across every session and group, even if nobody said those exact words.
Is AiCopal private?
Yes. Audio is captured on your device — no bot broadcasts your meeting — and your data is scoped to your account only. Your conversations are never used to train AI models.
What do the paid plans add?
More of everything you already use: more transcription minutes, more AI credits, advanced AI models, semantic search across your sessions, emailed conversation summaries, and MCP integration with Claude and ChatGPT. What they never add is a ransom on your data — your history stays fully accessible on Free. Current prices are shown in the app.
Which platforms does AiCopal support?
AiCopal runs as a web app (PWA), a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, and an Android app on Google Play (iPhone coming soon), with your conversations synced across devices.
