It's an open source project, but we have a cloud-based instance that you pay to use. Also, we sell paid support plans for companies who want to self-host us.

Haha that would be satisfying, but I don't really have the time or money to spare on a court case. But they do.

They're actually googling people's names, seeing where they work, deducing their work email, and emailing them.

Looks slightly less shady than DMing them I guess.

Their presence is disguised. They're creating accounts using gmail addresses and fake names. Edited my post to make that clear.

It is a lot but processing real time video and audio streams inherently consumes alot of CPU. So they may not be making as much profit on that price as you'd think.

I run an open source alternative to Recall (for meeting bots), and our costs are about 8 cents per hour.

It's surprisingly hard to get transcripts and recordings out of Zoom, Teams and Google Meet meetings.

The only API that had the features I needed (Recall.ai), charges $1000 / month minimum, so I decided to build my own. We're now processing thousands of hours of meetings each month and it works reliably. We also have a few features that let the bot interact with people in the meeting, in addition to recording it.

Hey there, I'm building an open source Recall at https://github.com/noah-duncan/attendee, designed for convenient self-hosting. It's fairly immature but other engineers are starting to contribute and things are picking up. Pretty sure it's the only open source example of a google meet bot that can extract audio, video, transcript and speak in the meeting.

Hi Brennan, I'm the co-founder of a similar startup (WorkPatterns) and it's great to see another startup in this space pop up on HN! The idea of investing in a library of goal templates is really smart, there's alot of knowledge contained within these templates about how to do your job. One of the issues we've had with our own goals feature is that it takes a decent amount of mental energy to actually come up with the goals and this looks like a great solution to that.

It looks like you guys have some ML in the product already so have you ever thought about using it to generate suggestions for writing goals? We've been doing this to generate suggestions for phrasing constructive feedback, and the suggestions are surprisingly good.
