Meeting Buddy

Never say "let me get back to you" again.

Someone asks about a number you do not have in your head, or a system you do not own. Meeting Buddy puts the answer on your screen while the question is still hanging in the air.

  • No bot joins your call
  • Audio stays on your machine

HandshakeBuddy · Suggested Answer

Pick one to start, or type your own below.

On a real call it hears the question itself — no typing. This demo is text-only.

Not a note-taker

A record of the meeting does not help you during the meeting

Every other tool in this category is looking backwards. This one is not.

Answers during, not after

Otter and Fireflies give you a summary once the meeting is over. That is a record. This is a prompt — it arrives while the question is still hanging in the air.

Audio never leaves your machine

Transcription runs locally on your own computer. Only the question text goes out to generate an answer, and your history stays on your machine rather than in a cloud workspace.

Covers the domain that is not yours

Most "let me get back to you" moments are questions about someone else's area. It fills that gap in the ten seconds you actually have.

Step by step

What it looks like in a real meeting

STEP 01

Open it before the meeting

It runs as a small always-on-top bubble. No bot joins your call, no "recording" banner, no notification to the room.

STEP 02

Join the meeting as normal

Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, a Slack huddle. Hit Sync and it listens through your system audio.

Joining a live team meeting
STEP 03

Someone asks you something

A stakeholder asks about a number, a dependency, or a system you do not own day to day. It transcribes locally and works out what is being asked.

STEP 04

You answer instead of deferring

A short, structured answer appears on your overlay. You read it in your own words and the meeting keeps moving.

An answer appearing on the private overlay

The part that matters

You see it. They don’t.

Scroll, then drag the handle — the overlay is excluded from screen capture at the OS level. When you share your screen, those pixels are never sent.

This protects against screen sharing and screen recording. It does not hide the overlay from a camera pointed at your monitor, from someone sitting beside you, or from proctoring software that inspects your machine.

Honest comparison

The same core feature, a fifth of the price

Screen-share invisibility is the feature people actually pay for. Everyone else puts it behind their top tier.

What people say

What teams say

“I stopped freezing on the follow-up questions. It kept me one step ahead the entire loop — I had three offers by the end of the month.”
Priya M.Backend engineer
“On client calls I used to panic and discount. Now I reframe calmly and my close rate is up. It paid for a year in one contract.”
Daniel R.Freelance developer
“The fact that it is invisible on screen share is the whole thing. I shared my IDE in an interview and it just was not there.”
Aisha K.Frontend engineer
“It is not a chatbot — the answers are short enough to actually say out loud. That is the difference from everything else I tried.”
Marcus T.Solutions consultant
“I run it in every cross-team meeting now. I answer the finance questions in the room instead of promising a follow-up.”
Lena F.Product manager
“Setup took two minutes and it works on Meet, Zoom and Teams. The day pass got me through my interview week for ten bucks.”
Sam O.Data analyst

Straight answers

Questions from people in back-to-back calls

Those are note-takers: a bot joins your call, records it, and gives you a transcript and summary afterwards. Useful, but backward-looking. Meeting Buddy is forward-looking — it answers the question while the meeting is still running, and no bot joins the call. Different job entirely, and there is no reason you cannot run both.
