I Stopped Typing Notes. Now I Just Talk to My Phone.
I stopped typing notes a couple weeks ago. Now I set my phone on the table, tap one button, and talk. No scribbling, no half-listening, no hoping I can read my handwriting later. And I can pull any of it straight into Claude through an MCP server.

I go to a lot of conferences and I've got a terrible memory for who I met and what we covered. I was just at VivaTech in Paris, back-to-back conversations all day. Instead of losing half of it by the time I got home, I'd finish up, set my phone down, and talk it through while it was fresh. By the time I got back to my desk the summary, the action items, and the full transcript were waiting. Then I can ask Claude about any of it later: what did we talk about with that person two months ago?
Here's the part I didn't expect to care about: whether it's safe. Fellow is SOC 2 Type II certified, so it passes the reviews at teams with real compliance departments. And nothing's a hidden capture. Anyone on my team can see the recording, same as any other note. (On the legal side, most US states are one-party consent, but check your area. I'm not giving legal advice.)
