Show HN: Give your AI ears – live meeting transcripts over MCP on macOS
VoxAI is a macOS app that provides local transcription and a live AI copilot for conversations. It records, transcribes, labels speakers, and streams the conversation to your AI for real-time advice and note-taking. Free trial for the first ten sessions, then a one-time purchase.
Local transcription + live AI copilot for macOS
Put your AI in every conversation.
VoxAI records locally, transcribes, and labels every speaker — then gives the live conversation to the AI you already use. Get advice while you talk, then turn the full record into notes and action items.

01
Transcribe as you talk
Live speaker labels mean no replaying the whole recording later.
02
Get advice in time
Questions, risks, and next steps arrive while they still matter.
03
Leave with the work done
Hand the complete record to your AI for notes, actions, and follow-up.
More than a recorder
The conversation is still going. The result is already forming.
VoxAI keeps one accurate record for you and one live stream for your AI. You stay in the conversation; the details keep organizing themselves.
LIVE · SPEAKER LABELED
01
Every line has a name
Meetings and in-person conversations get live speaker labels. Calls separate your mic and system audio, so identity comes from the channel — not a guess.
02
Your AI is actually present
It follows the growing transcript and can push fact checks, questions, risks, strategy, and action items into the side panel.
03
The record keeps working
Export clean Markdown, ask for a recap, draft the follow-up, or return to any conversation later. Your archive remains yours.
Four conversation modes
Pick a scene. Start talking.
MEET
Meeting
Multiple speakers, live names, and AI notes that grow with the room.
CALL
Call
You and the other side on separate channels, with labels that never need guessing.
1:1
In-Person
Negotiations, interviews, and one-on-ones with advice tuned to the moment.
VOICE
Voice Chat
Speak to your AI from across the room and hear the answer out loud.
Three steps to start
Set it up once. Then forget the setup.
No extension, Python environment, or API-key maze. VoxAI ships as one notarized Mac app and gives your AI the exact connection prompt.
01
Drag to Applications
Open the notarized .dmg and move VoxAI across. Installation is done.
02
Paste one message to your AI
Copy the prompt from VoxAI. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client connects itself.
03
Choose a scene
Your AI checks in by name. Start the conversation and let VoxAI handle the record.
Three steps. There is no fourth step.
Local by default
Your conversation stays on your Mac.
Recording, transcription, speaker labels, and the flagship local voice can all run on-device. VoxAI does not require an account, and cloud options stay off until you explicitly turn them on.
●

What happens after the ten free recordings?
VoxAI degrades gently: your history remains fully viewable and exportable, new recordings cap at ten minutes, and live copilot advice pauses until you unlock.
How do I unlock?
Two independent lines. From the Mac App Store, you unlock inside the app and can restore it on any Mac signed in to the same Apple Account. From the .dmg, a key reaches your payment email; paste it into VoxAI and local verification unlocks it permanently. A key from one line does not activate the other.
Which AI clients work?
Any MCP client can browse and summarize the archive. Agentic clients that can keep a live loop — including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — can act as the real-time copilot.
Does the price renew?
No. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
For people who want the protocol
Connect the AI you already have. Do not adopt another chatbot.
VoxAI includes a local MCP server. A new client reads the protocol instructions as soon as it connects, so the archive and live copilot behavior travel with the product.
