It has to work reasonably well across CJK and Latin-script text. For example, Chinese/Japanese/Korean names do not tokenize like English names, aliases may be implicit, and the same character can appear under several surface forms across chapters.I do not want to ship a huge local model just to do this. The app should work locally on normal Macs, and the extraction/indexing layer needs to be fast enough to run repeatedly as the manuscript changes.What I am trying to figure out:- practical local NER/entity-linking options for CJK + Latin text - whether a hybrid rule-based + embeddings approach is realistic - how to store weak candidate facts before they are confirmed - how to link extracted facts back to exact manuscript evidence - how to avoid one ba

It can transcribe the session, keep track of context, help structure answers or follow-ups, and turn the session into notes afterward.A few things I cared about while building it:It’s local-first: transcripts, screenshots, prompts, and notes can stay on your Mac. It supports local transcription / local models where installed and compatible. You can bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Codex, or compatible provider access. It does not join your meeting as a bot. The free version is usable; Pro adds workflow/history/profile features. I know the interview-assistant category is s
