Ambi is introducing apps for iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. They take meeting notes, and users can enable continuous listening to capture context throughout the day. According to company head Peter Mo, this feature is off by default, and users can turn it off at any time.
According to the company, the AI agent is intended to offer recommendations during meetings and look up relevant information using calendars, meetings, a knowledge base and data from the web. Users can also start a task on one device and continue on another. The source does not independently verify the value of recommendations during meetings.
The source highlights uncertainty around how recording is indicated to people nearby. According to Mo, users must inform others about continuous capture. The company says it does not store recordings and encrypts data, but it has not specified the type of encryption.
Why it matters
For people who need information during meetings, the timing of assistance matters: according to the company, recommendations are intended to arrive while the meeting is still underway. Optional all-day listening also extends conversation capture beyond individual meetings, so informing others cannot be handled solely at the start of a scheduled meeting.
Two audiences, two different impacts
What this means
For individuals
Users can take notes on supported devices and continue a task in progress on another device. They must explicitly enable all-day listening.
For a business
When the apps are deployed at a company, employees remain responsible for informing participants that conversations are being captured. Unclear recording indicators and unspecified encryption are specific issues to consider when assessing the protection of workplace conversations.
