AI meeting notes without a bot. Bob does the follow-ups.
Notes on any call. No bot joins. A name on every line, and when the call ends, Bob does the follow-ups himself.
A name on every line
On Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack huddles, the transcript names whoever is talking.
No bot joins
HeyBob hears what your computer hears. Nothing to connect, nobody to let in. Works in a room too.
Bob does the follow-ups
Notes, a summary and the action items. Tap Have Bob do it and he handles it in the apps you already use.
The notes are where Bob starts
Most note-takers hand you a tidy page and stop. The work is still yours. HeyBob lists each action item with three buttons: Have Bob do it, Add to my to-dos, and Skip. Tap Have Bob do it and he does the job in the apps he is connected to. Anything that sends or changes something outside HeyBob waits for your OK first, with a receipt on every run.
Items you keep land on your To-dos, where Have Bob do it is one tap away later too.
Notes for Slack huddles, with names
If your team already talks in Slack, a lot of meetings are huddles. HeyBob takes notes on them the same way it does on any call: it listens on your computer, so nothing joins the huddle. The transcript names whoever Slack shows talking, in the Slack app or in a browser tab.
It notices the huddle
Turn on Ask when I'm on a call in Meeting settings. When a huddle holds your microphone for a while, HeyBob asks if you want notes. Recording starts only when you press Take notes.
The summary goes back to Slack
When the notes are ready, Bob asks in your DM where the summary should go. Pick a channel, or don't post. He posts the summary only, never the transcript.
Ask about it later
A week on, ask Bob in Slack what the huddle decided. He searches the meetings you recorded. Only yours.
Step by step: how to get notes and action items from a Slack huddle.
Fair questions
Does a bot join my call?
No. The HeyBob app listens to your computer's microphone and the sound your computer plays. Nothing joins the call, so there is no extra guest in the participant list and nobody to let in.
How is HeyBob different from Granola?
Both take notes with no bot in the call. Granola is a polished notetaker with phone apps. With HeyBob, the notes are where Bob starts: tap Have Bob do it on an action item and he does it in your connected apps, with your OK before anything is sent. HeyBob also never trains AI models on your meetings. Granola's own documentation says it uses anonymized data to train its models by default on its Free and Business plans, with an opt-out (reviewed October 30, 2026). See Bob vs Granola.
Does it work in Slack huddles?
Yes. HeyBob hears a huddle the way you do, and the transcript names whoever Slack shows talking. On a Mac, speaker names need the Accessibility permission, which the app asks for beside the live meeting. When the notes are ready, Bob can post the summary to a Slack channel you pick. Here is how, step by step.
Do I have to connect Zoom, Google Meet or Teams?
No. HeyBob never connects to your call app. It hears the call the way you do, so it works with any app that plays sound on your computer.
Can I use it for an in-person meeting?
Yes. With no call app open, press Start recording and the microphone picks up the room. On a Mac, the app still asks for both permissions, Microphone and Screen Recording. The app numbers each voice it hears, Person 1, Person 2 and so on, and you can name them or merge two into one afterwards.
Is my audio stored?
No. HeyBob does not keep the audio. The app sends it to be turned into text one minute at a time, and it is discarded afterwards. If you are offline, unsent minutes wait on your computer until they upload. The transcript, your notes and the summary are kept so you can read them later, and you can delete any meeting for good once it ends.
Why does my Mac ask about Screen Recording?
On a Mac, this is how macOS lets an app hear the sound your computer plays. HeyBob records sound only, never your screen. After you turn it on, quit and reopen HeyBob.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. Meeting notes work in the HeyBob app on Mac (macOS 13 or newer) and on Windows. A phone app is on the way.
What does it cost?
Transcribing a meeting and writing the notes use credits at half the usual rate, from the same pool as the rest of Bob's work. Work Bob does afterwards is billed like any other request. The app shows what each meeting cost. If your workspace reaches its monthly spend cap, transcription stops with a message, and the notes you type keep saving. See pricing.
Who can see my meetings?
Only you, until you share it. A meeting belongs to the person who recorded it. You can share its notes with teammates in the app, and nobody else can open it.
