On-Device Meeting Transcription Copilot
A desktop app that transcribes calls locally and stays hidden during screen sharing, sold freemium to professionals who won't upload meetings to the cloud.
In plain English
Professionals who refuse to upload a meeting can have it written down on their own computer. A desktop app listens to common video-call programs, turns the speech into notes, and can hide its little on-screen window during screen sharing so other people do not see it. The free version stays free, and a paid subscription adds live coaching from the AI during the call, which matters because the audio never has to leave the machine. The AI does almost all of the transcription and the notes. The person running the app still keeps it working on different kinds of computers and tells people about that privacy promise.

Overlap / ethics
It’s close to the existing “Real-Time AI Interview Assistant” stack, so merge it or angle it on meeting privacy. Being invisible during screen share can be used to cheat in interviews, and recording calls may need consent.
