LIFEDASH
YOUR MEETINGS. YOUR DATA. YOUR MACHINE.
A LIVING BRAIN DOES THE REST.
Turn every meeting into a private, connected workspace with a Digital Twin, a living knowledge map, and answers you can trace back to the source.
YOUR MEETINGS BECOME
A LIVING SYSTEM.
A meeting that keeps working after it ends, from the first word to the next right action. Free, open source, and local by default.
The session is the app
A recording opens as a full workspace: Transcript, Board, and Brain on one switchable canvas. The brief, action items, proposals, and activity stay alongside the conversation that created them.

Transcript
A Digital Twin that learns with you
Author a profile of the professional you are, then let your Twin support live assistance, triage, and briefs in your vocabulary. It can learn durable facts from finished sessions. Every memory stays reviewable, traceable, pausable, and erasable.
TWIN
Mirrors your work, language, and priorities
LOCAL MEMORY

YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPERATING PROFILE
AI & AUTOMATION ARCHITECT
Direct, evidence-led, and focused on decisions that survive beyond the meeting.
Watch your knowledge connect
The Living Brain turns sessions, projects, cards, decisions, people, and topics into a local, collapsible mind map. It grows as you work, and every important node can lead you back to the source conversation.
Ask what your meetings know
Search across sessions, transcripts, briefs, cards, and projects. Semantic search finds meaning beyond exact wording, while Ask returns a concise answer with citations or plainly says when the answer is not in your sessions.
Ask anything across your work…|
↵ ASKCLICK THE FIELD TO ASK YOUR WORKSPACE
A board that follows the conversation
Turn action items into cards without leaving the session. The relevant board is right there while you meet, then stays connected to the transcript, decisions, and context that explain why the work exists.
Private by design, not by promise
Audio, transcription, reasoning, embeddings, and memory stay on your device by default. Cloud is a clearly labelled, per-task choice, never a silent default. Your keys stay in OS-level secure storage.
ONE SESSION. A LIVING SYSTEM.
From conversation to context you can use, verify, and revisit.
MEET
Record a conversation and open it as a full workspace, with the transcript, brief, action items, and live activity in one place.
CONNECT
Your Digital Twin and the session workspace turn what was said into proposals, board cards, decisions, and reusable context while keeping you in control.
RECALL
Search or ask across your own sessions later. The Living Brain keeps the links visible, and every answer can point back to where it came from.

LOCAL BY DEFAULT.
EXPLICIT BY CHOICE.
Your sessions, local reasoning, embeddings, and memory can stay on your machine. If you choose cloud AI, LifeDash tells you at the task where data would leave.
Built for anyone who wants useful AI without handing their conversations to someone else's server by default.
YOU DECIDE WHERE
AI RUNS.
Use your own cloud provider, point LifeDash at a local model, or start with the local essentials. You choose the provider, model, and data boundary for every task.
BUILT-IN SETUP WIZARD
LifeDash guides you through adding keys, choosing a local provider, assigning models to tasks, and managing Whisper models. Keep a task local or choose a cloud provider deliberately.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
A PRIVATE MEMORY,
NOT ANOTHER BOT.
Meeting transcription is just the beginning. LifeDash turns sessions into a private, connected system for decisions, follow-through, and answers you can verify. It is free and local by default.
