Built Undetectable Companion AI for your Desktop.

Everyone seems to be solving meetings the same way.

"Let's add another bot."

I wasn't convinced that was the best user experience.

So I spent the last few months building Observerβ€”an AI desktop companion that helps you during meetings instead of joining them.

Today, it's finally live.

Current features:

β€’ 🎯 Real-time AI answers

β€’ πŸ’‘ AI assistance using both meeting and screen context

β€’ πŸ“ Automatic meeting recaps

β€’ πŸŽ™οΈ Live transcription

β€’ ⌨️ Keyboard-first workflow

Building this as a solo founder has been one of the hardest things I've done.

I rewrote features multiple times.

Redesigned the UI more times than I can count.

Delayed launching because I kept thinking, "Just one more improvement."

Eventually I realized something every indie founder probably learns:

Users are better at telling you what to build than your own imagination.

So I shipped.

If you're on macOS, I'd love your honest feedback.
