Char

Co-Founder, Co-CEO

Aug 2024 – Present · 1 yr 9 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

Building the open-source AI notepad for private meetings.
Char is a desktop app that does NOT join your meetings, and instead listens to sounds coming in/out of your computer. It transcribes locally by default, ensuring that your data does not get in hands of anyone else but you. Char also allows you to bring your own AI models, bringing flexibility of choices to fit your needs.
We're backed by Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, TRAC, and Blast - with participations from awesome angels like Tobi Lütke (Shopify), Zach Lloyd (Warp), Henri Stern (Privy), Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), James Hawkins (PostHog), Dane Knecht (Cloudflare), ... the list goes on.
