Ellis

Ellis is an AI-powered note-taker built specifically for meetings that happen in real life. Unlike the many tools designed for virtual calls, Ellis focuses on face-to-face conversations: you record the audio, it transcribes the discussion, and surfaces key takeaways. The app is available for iPhone and Apple Watch, making it easy to capture a team standup, a client lunch, or a brainstorming session without anyone typing on a laptop.

Using speech recognition and AI summarization, Ellis turns raw conversation into structured notes. The app records and transcribes in real time, then provides a clean summary of decisions and action items. There’s no complex setup — just open the app, tap record, and it does the rest. The Apple Watch integration means you can start a recording from your wrist, which is handy for quick meetings.

Ellis is ideal for professionals who spend a lot of time in in-person meetings: consultants, project leads, sales reps, or anyone who needs to keep accurate records without breaking the conversational flow. It’s also useful for students or researchers conducting interviews. If you’ve ever walked out of a great meeting only to forget half the details, Ellis gives you a reliable safety net.
