Hintedly addresses a very specific slice of the AI assistant market: the moment in a live conversation when you need a strong answer immediately and cannot switch tabs. You install it once, launch it alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, or any other call tool, and it floats a transparent panel over the meeting. It picks up what you see and what is being said, pulls in files from your machine for context, and optionally searches the web, then surfaces short talking points that you can read with a glance.
The product puts heavy emphasis on discretion. Its overlay is rendered outside normal screen-capture APIs, so it does not appear in a shared screen or a recording, and it never joins the call as a visible participant or bot. Hintedly also supports reflective-glasses caveats and includes a Zoom-specific screen capture mode tip, which shows the team has thought carefully about the practical ways a hidden assistant could be exposed.
After the meeting, Hintedly changes mode. It produces structured notes, extracts action items with owners, drafts a recap email in your tone, and keeps all of it in a searchable history so you can retrieve a number, a name, or a decision later. You can choose among leading models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google depending on whether you value instruction-following, speed, or a particular answer style. Cross-platform desktop builds are available for Windows x64, Apple Silicon, and Intel Macs.
