Hi, I’m Pranay.

I didn’t want more meeting notes.

I’ve used AI meeting note takers. They captured the conversation, wrote it up, and sent me a summary. I never went back to read any of it.

And yet, there’s so much built around those notes. Templates to format them. Folders to organize them. Highlight clips to share. A chat where you can ask questions about meetings you’ve already had.

I didn’t want any of that. I didn’t want to turn my conversations into a collection I was supposed to manage. I wanted help with the conversation I was still in.

That’s what frustrated me. AI can research a subject, check a fact, explain something unfamiliar. But to get that help, I still had to stop listening, open a chat, and explain what I needed. The person I actually wanted to talk to was right there.

If the AI is already listening, why am I still doing all the asking?

That question is why I built lisnio. It listens to the conversation and looks things up when it can help, without waiting for me to write a prompt.

No note templates to choose. No highlight reels to put together. I wanted the useful answer, right then, so I could keep talking.

Now I use it myself, and that’s the relief: I can stay with the person I’m talking to while lisnio does the looking up. Finally, the kind of help I wanted in the first place.

I built this because I wanted it to exist. If you’ve been wishing for something like it too, I’m glad you’re here.

FAQs

What does Assist do?

Assist follows the conversation and researches things that could help, from unfamiliar names to facts and useful questions. Answers and source links appear in the floating window, without waiting for you to write a prompt. See how Assist works.

What audio does lisnio capture?

You choose your sources before a session: your microphone for you and nearby speech, speaker audio for sounds playing on your Mac, or a selected app for that app’s audio. Combine your microphone with remote audio to hear both sides of a call. Choose audio sources.

Is lisnio always listening?

No. Start a session yourself or enable automatic starts when your microphone is in use. You can limit automatic starts to selected apps. Pause stops capture; Stop listening ends the session. Hiding the floating window does not stop listening. Read about listening controls.

What happens to my audio and transcripts?

Saved transcripts and audio recordings are stored in your workspace on your Mac. We don’t store audio recordings on our servers. Live audio is processed online for transcription, and relevant text goes to AI services for research with Assist, and for titles and summaries in both modes. Your account keeps usage records and synced session titles. Read the privacy policy.

How do Scribe and Scribe + Assist work?

Scribe keeps a transcript, session title and summary. Add Assist for useful research and answers, then switch back whenever you want. The same conversation keeps recording, and existing answers remain available. Read the mode guide.

What happens when Assist minutes run out?

With separate allowances, lisnio continues in Scribe if Scribe minutes remain. Assist stays unavailable until more Assist minutes are available. The same rule applies to manual and automatic starts. If both balances run out, listening pauses and saves the captured conversation.

How does the free trial work?

Your trial includes 150 Scribe minutes and 15 Assist minutes. Trial minutes expire 7 days after your first session. No card needed. Billing shows your current minutes and available plans.
