Google has released an experimental note-taking application called Google AI Edge Foresight, which transcribes meetings and audio files entirely offline on macOS.
The app uses the company’s on-device EmbeddingGemma 2 model to process audio and generate notes without connecting to the cloud.
Users can take shorthand notes during meetings, and the app transforms these into polished notes based on the transcript.
Google AI Edge Foresight includes a built-in assistant for asking questions about the meeting content and referencing local files without transmitting data outside the device.
The company states that meeting audio, files, and notes never leave the user’s computer.
The app is currently optimized only for Macs with Apple Silicon.
