about

miniti is a meeting assistant and speech coach that records, transcribes, and analyses your conversations so you can close more deals and get sharper at speaking.

what it does

miniti is a native AI meeting assistant and speech coaching app for macOS and iPhone. it captures your conversations with real-time speech-to-text transcription powered by Deepgram Nova-3 in 11 languages with automatic speaker identification so you always know who said what. set a default language or pick per meeting. recordings can auto-stop when no speech is detected for a configurable duration (default 5 minutes), so you never forget to end a session.

after each meeting, miniti runs AI analysis to produce summaries, action items, discussion flow, topic extraction, and MEDDPICC sales methodology analysis. a dedicated questions mode generates smart, context-specific questions to ask during or after a meeting. everything is saved in a searchable meeting history you can review, edit, and share. fast full text search lets you find anything across titles, transcripts, notes, insights, topics, action items, MEDDPICC, and discussion flow.

on macOS, miniti can auto export every meeting as markdown to a local folder - notes, insights, MEDDPICC, training metrics, and full transcript - with an optional CLAUDE.md index for AI agents. your meeting data works natively with Obsidian, Claude Code, and any tool that reads local files.

the speech coaching layer works in real-time during your meetings. it tracks custom filler words and phrases with per-speaker frequency breakdowns, talk ratio between participants, words-per-minute pace, longest monologue detection, questions asked, and an overall clarity score. your full meeting history stores these training metrics so you can track improvement over time.

on macOS, miniti connects to Google Calendar to show upcoming meetings, pre-fill meeting titles, and automatically start and stop recording when a scheduled meeting begins and ends. attendee context from calendar events is included in Attio auto-sync and webhook payloads.

miniti integrates with Attio so you can send meeting intelligence directly to person and company records in your CRM. search for a record, select it, and push summaries, action items, decisions, MEDDPICC analysis, notes, and full transcripts as structured notes. miniti remembers the selected target for each meeting to make repeat sends easy. outbound webhooks let you send meeting intelligence to any endpoint - Zapier, Make, n8n, or your own systems.

miniti helps you speak better, not just take notes. Granola is a note-taking tool. miniti is a note-taking tool and a speech coach. the real-time training layer tracks filler words, talk ratio, pace, monologue length, questions asked, and clarity score across every meeting. no other meeting assistant does this. you get per-meeting breakdowns and historical trends so you can measure improvement over weeks and months.
