Meeting memory for busy managers

Too many meetings.
Not enough you.

Back-to-back meetings across every team you run — and the busywork starts the moment each one ends. Cernio captures the decisions, action items and follow-ups, briefs you before the next call, and remembers everything so you never re-watch a thing. Reclaim the hours meetings steal.

What it does

The recording is just the start.

Every meeting becomes structured, searchable knowledge — automatically. Transcript, decisions, action items, who-owes-what: the follow-up that eats your evenings, handled. You get the time back.

Before you record

Smart Start sets everything up before you hit record.

Type what you're about to record in plain language. Gemini names the file, tags it, picks the right template, and detects the language — in about a second, before you ever hit record.

8 templates: meeting, demo, bug, tutorial, standup, code-review, interview, brainstorm.
Each template tunes how the AI analyzes the recording afterward.

Transcript & diarization

Accurate transcript with speaker labels and timestamps you can edit inline.

Chapters & topics

The recording is split into titled chapters with topic transitions on the timeline.

Action items

Extracted with assignee and due date — tracked open or done across recordings.

Decisions

Every decision captured with its rationale — and any dissent that was voiced.

Entities

People, companies, files, dates and links — linked across your whole library.

Suggestions

Next steps, who to send the minutes to, what docs to update — drafted for you.

Cross-team memory

Every team, every context — one memory.

Cernio keeps a running memory per team, per project, per person: the decisions locked in, the action items still open, the topics that keep coming back. Ask "What's still open with Platform?" or "What did I promise Sarah in our last 1-on-1?" and get answers with clickable citations that jump to the exact moment.

Per-person 1-on-1 history and recurring-topic tracking.
Weekly insights surface patterns, overdue items and sentiment trends.

While you record

Catch what you'd miss when you're spread thin.

Attention split across three threads? A real-time transcript builds as you talk, and the AI nudges you: a topic raised three meetings in a row, an action item still unclosed, a decision that contradicts one another team made last month. It pays attention so you can lead.

Ask mid-recording: "What did Sarah say about the budget?"
Insights refresh every 30 seconds without interrupting you.

Three steps

Record. AI organizes. Ask anything.

No tagging, no folder wrangling, no re-watching. The workflow is the same whether it's a 5-minute standup or a 90-minute interview.

01

Record

Describe it in a sentence, pick a source, hit record. Markers, webcam and mic are one click each.

02

AI organizes

On stop, you get a transcript, chapters, action items, decisions and entities — indexed into your memory.

03

Ask anything

Chat across every recording. Get answers with citations that jump straight to the moment it was said.

Privacy & data

Private by design.

Your recordings, transcripts and memory index live in a local database on your machine. The only thing that ever leaves is the audio for an analysis you run — sent straight to Gemini with your own key or managed cloud credits.

On-device AI · Security

Run the AI on your own machine.

Cernio ships a local AI mode: a small open model (Qwen 2.5 or LFM2, 0.5–1.5B, quantized) runs on your device through llama.cpp. It turns each meeting into chapters, decisions, action items and memory — without a single request leaving your computer. Download a model once, then run it offline.

Open models you control

  • Qwen 2.5 0.5B / 1.5B and LFM2 1.2B, quantized GGUF
  • Downloaded once, checksum-verified, stored locally
  • Swap model size for speed vs depth

Structured analysis, offline

  • Decisions, action items, summaries & memory — built on device
  • Grammar-constrained output for reliable, parseable results
  • No API key, no network, no per-call cost

Security as a feature

  • Recordings, transcripts & index never leave your machine
  • Your API key is stored locally, never synced; no content telemetry
  • Consent-aware capture for RO / EU / US

Audio transcription uses Gemini today (multimodal) — sent with your own key or managed credits. Everything after the transcript can run fully on-device.

Integrations

Pushed where your work already happens.

When analysis finishes, Cernio posts the summary, opens tasks from action items, and syncs the transcript — automatically, with rules per template. No copy-paste.

Org memory for the whole company.

Sync meeting transcripts into your company's knowledge base (RAG). Every meeting joins the company's shared context — ask what another team decided in their meetings, surface cross-team dependencies, and retrieve discussions you were never in. Permission-aware and admin-controlled, so people see only what they're cleared to.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does pricing work?
Cernio is a paid app with a 14-day free trial. There are four plans — Top-up (pay as you go), Starter, Pro, and Privacy / BYO (bring your own Gemini key). Each runs on Gemini with a local AI mode on your device. Detailed pricing is coming soon — see the plan comparison above for what's included in each.
Where does my data go?
Recordings, transcripts and the memory index live entirely on your machine in a local database. Audio is sent to Gemini only when you run an analysis, and only the audio for that operation — nothing else leaves your device.
What's the difference between the plans?
Every plan records, transcribes and analyzes. Top-up and Starter cover solo, lighter use; Pro adds Live AI, full cross-recording memory, scheduled recordings, integrations and multiple workspaces; Privacy / BYO runs entirely on your own Gemini key with unlimited hours and data that never leaves your device. The comparison table above breaks down every feature, and a live cost dashboard tracks your AI usage as you record.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon), Windows 10+ and Linux (.AppImage and .deb). It's a native desktop app with hardware-accelerated encoding on each platform.
Can it record and transcribe other languages?
Yes. Smart Start auto-detects the language, and transcription supports 99 languages. You can also pin a language per recording if you prefer.

Stop letting meetings eat your week.

Download Cernio and give every meeting — across every team — a memory. Decisions, open loops and follow-ups, captured and carried forward, so you get your time back.
