The app, named Google AI Edge Foresight, allows users to record, transcribe, and review meeting notes across various apps, supporting manual input and AI-generated summaries. It also enables document uploads to build a knowledge base for real-time question answering during meetings.

Google has released an experimental app called Google AI Edge Foresight that transcribes meetings and audio files entirely on-device, using its EmbeddingGemma 2 model. The free app turns shorthand notes into polished summaries and includes a built-in assistant that can answer questions about meetings or connected local files, with Google saying data never leaves the user's computer. It currently only works on Macs with Apple Silicon.
