Field notes
Acorn captures meeting material from the user’s Mac instead of adding a participant to the call, then exposes a Live Ask prompt over the notes already written to disk. Its examples use concrete meeting state—a security questionnaire owned by Maya, an API change owned by Ben, and a Monday review—to demonstrate questions about commitments and deadlines. The page names Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in-room meetings, while Windows remains marked as coming soon.
