Introducing: Coworker Background Notetaker
Sep 17, 2025

Capture Every Decision Without the Meeting Bot
You're in back-to-back meetings. A brilliant idea emerges in a Slack huddle. Your client reveals their real budget concerns. The engineering team makes a critical architecture decision.
By 6 PM, half of it's gone.
Meeting bots don't solve this - they need permission, don't work on Slack huddles, and make every conversation feel "officially recorded." You need something that just works, everywhere, invisibly.
That’s why we built the Coworker Background Notetaker
How It Works
Coworker's background note taker captures audio from any source - Zoom, Teams, Slack huddles, phone calls - without joining as a bot. A small floating bar records everything while you focus on the conversation. When you're done, ask Coworker anything about what happened.
No permissions. No interruptions. No awkward "Bot has joined" moments.

Three Ways This Changes Your Workday
1. Record Every Meeting
Client calls
Slack Huddles
Internal Zoom meetings
Now ask: "What did we decide about the API architecture in yesterday's call with Sarah?" Get instant answers instead of Slack-searching for an hour.
2. Coworker does perfect follow-ups
During Your calls:
Stop frantically scribbling notes during sales calls. Focus on building rapport, Write follow-ups that address every concern.
After your call:
Ask Coworker to create:
follow up emails
E.g. "Draft a follow-up email to the Acme team addressing their integration concerns and including the technical specifications we discussed"
project plans in Confluence
E.g. "Create a project plan in Confluence for the Q4 API migration based on today's technical discussion with the engineering team"
Analysis across previous calls
E.g. "Compare the budget requirements discussed in this call with what the finance team mentioned in our meeting last week"
Ask questions:
E.g. "What were the main technical blockers Sarah's team identified?" or "Which features did the client prioritize most during our demo?"
3. Voice Ideas Become Real Work
Record thoughts during your commute, or between meetings. Ideas become actionable documents instantly.
E.g. "Turn my voice memo about the Q4 campaign into a project brief."
Why This Beats Everything Else
Otter and Gong create isolated meeting notes. Granola gives you great personal notes but doesn't connect to your work context.
Coworker's different: your meeting insights combine with emails, Slack messages, and documents for complete context. Ask about decisions made across multiple conversations, platforms, and timeframes. It's organizational memory, not just meeting notes.
Plus it works on everything - formal meetings, Slack huddles, phone calls, voice memos. One tool, universal capture.
This Replaces:
Granola
Fireflies
Otter
Google Meet Recorder
Zoom Recordings
Fathom
Gong (almost)
(with logos ideally)

"I used to frantically take notes and still miss half the important stuff. Now I focus entirely on the conversation, knowing Coworker caught everything." - Sarah, VP Product
