Features & Use Cases

Everything you need.
Nothing in the cloud.

A deep dive into every capability KAVI offers — from meeting recording to AI-powered search, task management, calendar sync, and automated reporting. All running locally on your machine.

Meeting Intelligence

Record, transcribe, summarize, search.

The complete meeting lifecycle — from hitting record to searching past decisions months later. All processed on your CPU.

Meeting Recording

Capture audio from your microphone, system audio (Zoom/Teams/Meet output), or both simultaneously. KAVI uses platform-native audio APIs for reliable capture across all operating systems.

Dual-stream recording — capture mic + system audio separately for speaker identification
Cross-platform — native audio capture on Windows, macOS, and Linux
Zero dropped samples — optimized audio pipeline ensures every word is captured
Audio saved locally — WAV files stored in your app data directory, never transmitted

AI Transcription

Advanced speech recognition runs entirely on your CPU. Audio is intelligently chunked into segments with overlap for seamless, accurate transcription.

Multiple quality levels — choose your speed/accuracy tradeoff
Multilingual support — language detection and optional translation-to-English
Timestamped segments — every line includes precise start/end timestamps
CPU-optimized — processes ~10 min of audio in 1-3 minutes on a standard laptop

AI Summarization

After transcription, the local LLM processes the full transcript and extracts structured insights — no manual note-taking required.

Summary
Team aligned on Q2 priorities. API migration set as top priority. Auth refactor deferred to Sprint 14.

Real-World Use Cases

How professionals use KAVI.

Every scenario below maps to real capabilities in the codebase. No hypothetical features.

The NDA-Bound Consultant

Sarah is a management consultant who takes 6-8 client calls per day, all under NDA. She used to spend 20 minutes after each call writing notes from memory.

With KAVI: She hits record at the start of each call. KAVI captures both her mic and the Zoom system audio. After the call, she gets a transcript with timestamps, a concise summary, and 3-5 action items. Before her next follow-up, she searches "what did we discuss about the Q3 rollout" and gets the exact moment from the meeting.

Meeting recording Dual audio AI summary Full-text search

The Engineering Manager

Alex manages a team of 8 engineers across two time zones. Daily standups, weekly retros, and 1:1s generate dozens of action items per week.

With KAVI: Every standup and retro is recorded. Action items are extracted and automatically appear on the Kanban board. On Friday, KAVI generates a weekly report showing 15 tasks completed, 6 meetings held, productivity score 91. Alex emails it to her VP — KAVI handles SMTP delivery with one click.

Action item extraction Kanban board Weekly reports Email dispatch

The Law Firm Partner

James handles litigation for high-profile clients. Attorney-client privilege means no meeting data can be on external servers — period. Cloud transcription services are off the table.

With KAVI: Client consultations and strategy sessions are recorded and transcribed entirely on his firm-issued laptop. He searches "what did the client say about the settlement" across six months of meetings. The transcript, summary, and action items never leave his machine. When opposing counsel requests discovery, there's nothing on any server to subpoena.

100% local Transcript search No server-side data Verifiably private

The UX Researcher

Dr. Priya conducts user interviews for a health-tech company. IRB protocol requires that participant recordings never leave the research laptop.

With KAVI: She records 45-minute user interviews, gets automatic transcripts with timestamps. After a series of 12 interviews, she searches "frustration with onboarding" across all sessions to find recurring themes. Everything stays on her laptop — the IRB is satisfied, and she saved 8 hours of manual transcription per batch.

Long-form recording Cross-session search IRB compliant Theme discovery

Roadmap

What's coming next.

Speaker diarization — who said what in meetings
Meeting templates — standup, 1:1, retro, design review
Export transcripts — Markdown, PDF, and DOCX formats
Semantic vector search — embedding-based search beyond keyword matching
Auto-update — seamless background updates
