Origin Story

By Sam Liang

The Problem

Important details were lost because nobody could take notes and participate in meetings simultaneously.

Building It

Founded in 2016 by Stanford AI researchers, grew to millions of users for meeting transcription.

What It Means

AI can be the note-taker so humans can be fully present in conversations.

The Dream

To make every conversation searchable, shareable, and actionable.
