Meeting AI

'Meeting AI' usually means a bot that joins and summarizes afterward. Cloak is the other kind: help in the live moment, invisible to everyone else.

Two kinds of meeting AI

Most "meeting AI" is a recorder: a bot joins your call, transcribes it, and emails a summary when it's over. Useful for archives — useless in the moment a tough question lands. Cloak is the second kind: a real-time copilot that hears the conversation and helps you respond while it's still happening, then still hands you clean notes at the end.

How Cloak's meeting AI works

Cloak captures system audio directly — both sides of the call — and runs live speech-to-text to keep a rolling transcript. When you need it, it streams an answer into an overlay only you can see: a direct response, exact phrasing to say, a quick brainstorm, or a catch-up recap if you joined late. There's no bot in the participant list and nothing on the screen share.

Local-first, not a data funnel

Audio, transcript, and history stay on your machine. The only thing that leaves is the prompt you send to the AI provider you picked — your own key, or a managed plan. The overlay is excluded from screen capture at the OS level, so it never shows up in Zoom, Teams, or Meet recordings.

What you get

  • Live transcript of the whole meeting from system audio.
  • Real-time answers grounded in your résumé, notes, or the company you loaded.
  • Structured post-meeting notes — summary, decisions, action items with owners.
  • Invisible overlay, multi-provider AI, BYOK free forever.

How to install Cloak

macOS · Windows · Linux

  1. 1

    Extract the ZIP

    Open Cloak.zip from your Downloads folder. Double-clicking it will extract automatically.

  2. 2

    Move to Applications

    Drag Cloak.app into your /Applications folder.

  3. 3

    macOS security check

    macOS may warn that it can't verify the developer. This is normal for unsigned indie apps — it's not malware.

    "Cloak.app" can't be opened

    Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

    If you see this, use the fix in Step 4 below — it removes the quarantine flag instantly.

  4. 4

    One-line fix (if blocked)

    Open Terminal (press ⌘ Space, type "Terminal"), paste this command and hit Return:

    Terminal — zsh
    $ xattr -cr /Applications/Cloak.app

    This removes the quarantine attribute macOS attaches to downloaded files. Cloak's source is open source — inspect it any time.
