What it is
The Augmented AI (Live AI Cortex) is a desktop-native tool designed to act as a silent, intelligent partner during live meetings, interviews, or lectures. Unlike traditional LLM interfaces that require you to pause, switch tabs, and type a prompt, this tool listens in the background to surface relevant data, counterarguments, and missed points instantly.
Why Founders Need It
Founders often juggle high-stakes conversations where information density is high and time is scarce. By reducing the ‘interaction cost’—the mental load required to query an AI—this tool allows you to stay fully present while benefiting from real-time fact-checking and strategic suggestions.
How to Use It
Install the Mac application, grant it the necessary permissions for audio, and let it run in the background during your Zoom or Google Meet calls. It provides a non-intrusive UI overlay that updates as your conversation evolves.
Integrations
Currently functions as a system-wide Mac application, making it compatible with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other video conferencing software.
Vs. Alternatives
While tools like Fathom or Granola focus on post-meeting summaries and transcription, The Augmented AI differentiates itself through its proactive, real-time nature. It is less of a ‘notetaker’ and more of a ‘thinking companion.’
