Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

PINE organizes a study around a project brief, recordings, a transcription queue, and a coding workspace. Its stated local stack combines Whisper large-v3 with pyannote diarization, while exports can preserve codes and comments in a ZIP transfer package. The page also describes an optional GLiNER pass that replaces names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses with redaction tags before analysis leaves the machine.
