The Augmented AI

The Augmented AI is a Mac client that acts as a live thinking aid. You run it during a meeting, lecture, interview, debate, or call, and while other people talk it surfaces insights, counterarguments, and suggestions for what to say or ask next. It captures everything said, presented, and shared, and stores it as a permanent searchable record so you can go back and find a specific point later. A ghost mode runs during screen sharing and presentations without being visible to others, and the listing says that mode is always free. There is a free version, and a paid plan adds unlimited in-depth post-conversation analysis plus early access to new features.

Recording people is a consent issue before it is a productivity issue. In many workplaces and jurisdictions you need the agreement of everyone present, and covert recording can break company policy and local law, with the consequences landing on you rather than the tool. Tell people what you are doing and get agreement first. Beyond that, the client listed is for Mac, so Windows and Linux users have no path here. Real-time suggestions can also become a distraction if you are trying to speak at the same time, and the deeper post-conversation analysis sits behind the paid plan. Treat the free tier as a way to test whether this style of assistance actually helps you or just adds noise.
