Meetings are the operating system of modern work. They are where decisions happen, where relationships form, and where context is shared. But they are also where information goes to die. We built Karnyx to change that.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
If you work in a fast-moving team, you know the feeling. You walk into a meeting with someone you have spoken to three times in the past month, and you cannot remember what you discussed last time. Action items get written in one place, forgotten in another. Key decisions are buried in chat transcripts that nobody reads.
We surveyed over 500 knowledge workers and found three consistent pain points:
- Meeting overload: the average worker attends 25+ meetings per week with no way to recall what was discussed
- Lost action items: studies show 73% of action items from meetings are never completed because they are never properly captured
- Zero context: people walk into meetings without knowing what was discussed previously with the same participants
What Karnyx Does
Karnyx is a native Mac application that sits quietly in your menu bar. It captures every meeting you attend — whether on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or in person — without dropping a bot into the call. No bot joins your meeting. No awkward avatar in the participant list. Recording notifications are handled compliantly in the background.
After each meeting, Karnyx processes the audio with AI to produce:
Full Transcripts
Speaker-diarized transcripts with timestamps
AI Summaries
Decisions, topics, and key takeaways distilled
Action Items
Automatically extracted with assignees and deadlines
People Graph
A relationship map across all your interactions
Pre-meeting Briefs
Context cards before every meeting
Hybrid Search
Find anything with semantic or keyword search
Why Desktop-First Matters
Most meeting tools work by dropping a bot into your call. That bot shows up in the participant list, triggers notifications, and makes everyone self-conscious. It changes the dynamic of the meeting.
Karnyx takes a fundamentally different approach. By running as a native macOS application, it captures system audio directly from your Mac. This means it works with every platform, requires no integrations on the meeting side, and never drops a bot into your call.
The best meeting intelligence is the kind that doesn't disrupt the conversation. When there's no bot staring back from the participant list, people behave naturally — and you get the most authentic capture of what actually happened.
Privacy Is Foundational
We believe meeting data is some of the most sensitive information a company produces. That is why Karnyx processes audio locally on your Mac in Ghost Mode. Transcripts are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. Enterprise customers get custom data residency, retention policies, and full audit logs.
