Everything a good assistant does, with you in charge.

Recorded without a click. On your Mac, VAIPA notices when a call starts in apps such as Zoom, Teams and Google Meet and records it. You choose once: every call, ask each time, or never. A recording indicator is always visible, with Pause and Stop, and VAIPA reminds you to let the other people know. On your phone it records in-person meetings and voice notes.

A tidied transcript. The ums, false starts and repeats are cleaned up, and checks make sure numbers, names and dates are never changed. The original is kept word for word, one tap away.

Notes with the actions in. A summary, the decisions, and the actions with an owner and a due date. Every sentence links back to the moment in the call it came from.

Who said what. Switch on “Tell call participants apart” and VAIPA separates the voices on a call on your computer. Name them once, merge two that are the same person, or link them to someone in People. No voice recording or voiceprint is kept.

Export. Any meeting as PDF, Word, Markdown, plain text, or SRT and VTT subtitles.

Files and folders. Drop an audio or video recording on Meetings, or choose a folder to watch. VAIPA transcribes it on your Mac and gives it notes like any other meeting.

On your calendar. Recorded meetings appear on the Calendar next to the events they belong to, with their notes a tap away.

Send to Slack or Notion Coming soon Share a meeting's notes to a Slack channel or a Notion page after you've seen exactly what will be sent.

Search VAIPA. One search across your meetings, notes, people, memory, tasks and email, from every screen. A meeting result opens at the line where it was said.

Talk. Ask in plain words: “What have I got on this week?”, “What did we agree about the quote?”. VAIPA answers from your own calendar, meetings, notes and memory, shows where each answer came from, and can read its reply out loud with a voice that runs on your device.

Morning briefing. What's first, what's due, who needs a reply, and the follow-ups from yesterday's meetings, in a few lines.

What's due. Bills, renewals, deadlines and promises across every part of your life, with where each one came from. VAIPA checks with you when it isn't sure.

Calendar. Connect Google Calendar and see your day with travel time and “leave by” reminders. VAIPA won't create, move or cancel anything unless you've given it permission to.

Inbox Limited VAIPA sorts the messages that need you from the automated ones, so “needs a reply” means a person is waiting. Gmail only, for a limited number of early access users while Google's review completes.

People. The people in your life and work, what you last discussed and what's still open between you.

From your meetings, calendar and inbox, VAIPA spots what needs doing and offers it: “Want me to sort it?”. Each suggestion shows why it was made and the evidence behind it, with Accept, Snooze and Dismiss.

When VAIPA wants to do something for you, it shows you a clear card first: what it will do, when, and who's involved, with Confirm and Change. Where something is routine, you can choose to trust it with that one kind of action. Those rules are yours to narrow or switch off.

Give VAIPA something to keep going on, like “a Mac Studio under £3,000”, or something to get sorted. It keeps checking, shows only real matches (not accessories or near misses), and tells you when there's something worth your attention.

For each Mission you choose Ask me first or Handle it automatically within the limits you set.

Some shops pay VAIPA a commission when you buy through a link it shows you. Those results are labelled Affiliate link before you open them, and commission never changes how VAIPA ranks your options.

Hats keep the parts of your life apart: work, home, a rental, a club. Meetings, tasks, people and what VAIPA learns stay in the Hat they belong to.

Spending controls. Nothing is paid for without your approval. You set the limits, a second check protects larger amounts, and Freeze in Settings stops all spending at once. Every action is kept in a history you can look back through.

Dictate anywhere on your Mac: hold a key and talk. The text goes straight into the app you're typing in. If an app won't accept typed text, VAIPA copies it so you can paste it yourself.

Speech recognition runs on your computer. What you dictate into other apps isn't used to learn about you.

VAIPA starts with the important things, then learns the details that make it useful from your meetings and from what you tell it.

Every personal question can be skipped, answered with “I'm not sure”, or saved for another time. You can see what VAIPA knows, where it learned it, and correct or remove it. Tell it naturally: “I don't actually mind taking the train.”
