Overview

Wave AI is an advanced note-taking and recording application designed to capture, transcribe, and summarize spoken content from various sources. It supports recording meetings, phone calls, and lectures across a wide range of devices, including iPhones, Android phones, Mac and Windows desktops, Chrome browsers, Apple Watch, and Wear OS smartwatches.

The tool operates through a simple five-step process: Record, Transcribe, Summarize, Share, and Access Anywhere. It automatically identifies speakers in recordings and generates AI-powered summaries that include key takeaways, decisions, and action items. Users can interact with their recordings by chatting with Wave AI in any language to retrieve specific information or ask questions about the content. Additionally, Wave AI allows users to import existing audio or video content, such as calls, videos, or podcasts, for transcription and summarization.

Key integrations include syncing with popular meeting platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. The platform emphasizes data security, adhering to SOC 2 compliance, never using user data for AI model training, encrypting data in transit and at rest, and providing options for users to delete their data at any time.
