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. No bot joins the call.
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. Local capture, no bot
Audio is captured right on your device with no bot in the call. It's sent only to our transcription provider, which deletes it after processing.
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
No recording bot joins the call. Audio is processed by our transcription provider, then deleted, and never used to train models.
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.
