A bot-free meeting assistant records meetings without joining as a visible participant. Convo captures audio locally on your device - no bot in participant list, no join notification, and your data stays private with AES-256 encryption.
Record meetings invisibly, without bots
No more "Otter.ai Bot has joined." Convo captures audio locally on your device - completely invisible to other participants.
Everyone sees the bot. Audio streams to cloud.
No one knows. Audio stays on your device.
How bot-free recording works
1. Local audio capture
Convo captures audio directly from your computer's audio output. No bot joins your meeting - it listens to what you hear locally.
2. On-device processing
Audio is processed right on your device. Your meeting content never leaves your computer during the call - complete privacy.
3. Encrypted storage
Notes are encrypted with AES-256 and stored securely. You control when and how to share with your team.
Why professionals choose bot-free
No awkward interruptions
"Otter.ai Bot has joined the meeting" breaks conversation flow. With Convo, nobody knows you're taking notes.
Works when bots can't
Some meetings block bots. External calls, client meetings, and sensitive discussions - Convo works everywhere.
Complete data control
Audio never streams to external servers during the call. Your sensitive conversations stay on your device.
No connection failures
Bots can fail to join, get kicked by hosts, or lose connection. Local capture is 100% reliable.
Works invisibly on all platforms
Because Convo captures audio locally, it works with any platform - no integrations needed.
