Google AI Edge Foresight
Experimental Mac meeting note-taker that transcribes meetings and expands shorthand notes entirely on-device using EmbeddingGemma 2 and Gemma 4.
Why it matters
Local-first Granola competitor: meeting audio, transcripts, and documents never leave the Mac; works fully offline with a personal knowledge base.
What you could build with it
A consultancy or legal team could adopt the app to capture client meetings without sending recordings to the cloud, keeping sensitive conversations on-device while building a searchable local knowledge base.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge - launched Oct 8, experimental, with no pricing, GA date, or minimum chip requirement disclosed; coverage is press-based and no independent hands-on reviews exist yet.
