Our Mission
We believe the most prepared person in the room makes the best decisions
Every day, professionals walk into meetings missing context. They don't remember what was promised last time, what's unresolved, or what matters most to the person across the table. That's not a memory problem — it's an intelligence problem. And it's fixable.
Karnyx is the pre-meeting intelligence platform I wished existed. It sits silently on your Mac, builds a living graph of your professional relationships, and surfaces exactly what you need before you walk into any room.
The Story
Born from 14 years of walking into rooms unprepared
After over a decade directing $600M+ technology transformation programs for Fortune 500 companies — coordinating global teams of 250+ — I experienced the same frustration in every role: walking into a meeting and not knowing the full context. Who promised what? What was left unresolved? What does this person care about?
Existing tools solve the wrong problem. They record and transcribe — useful, but reactive. Nobody wants to read through three hours of transcript before a meeting. What you need is intelligence: the right context, about the right people, at exactly the right moment.
So I built something different. Not another recording tool. A pre-meeting intelligence platform that builds a living memory of every professional relationship and surfaces it before you walk in.
The Founder
Built by someone who lives in meetings
Founder
I spent 14 years directing $600M+ technology programs for Fortune 500 companies. I sat through thousands of meetings where the person who was most prepared always had the advantage — and watched people walk in unprepared.
So I built the tool that gives everyone that advantage. Every line of code — the NestJS backend, the React desktop app, the AI pipeline, the infrastructure — written by one person who actually understands the problem.

Our Principles
Six principles that guide everything we build
Intelligence Over Recording
Recording is the starting point, not the destination. We build systems that think ahead — surfacing the right context before you need it, not after you've missed it.
Seamless by Design
The best technology stays out of your way. Karnyx works in the background, reducing cognitive load rather than adding to it. No bots. No disruption. Just capture that fits your workflow.
Privacy as Foundation
Meeting data is among the most sensitive information in any organization. Audio is processed locally, everything is encrypted, and users have full control. Privacy is not a feature — it's the architecture.
People Over Documents
Meetings are fundamentally about relationships. Karnyx is people-indexed, not document-indexed. It helps you understand the humans in your professional life.
Mac-Native Obsession
Built for one platform, built exceptionally well. macOS gives access to system-level capabilities that make bot-free capture possible. The platform is embraced fully.
Radical Transparency
Pricing is published openly. How the AI works is explained clearly. Trust is earned through transparency, not marketing.
