Powerful Features Across Both Products
Everything your team needs to capture, transcribe, and action every meeting.
Ephemeral Audio
Audio streams to AI and is immediately discarded. Never stored, never recorded. Privacy by architecture.
Live AI Detections
Action items, decisions, and commitments detected in real-time as you speak — not hours later in a summary email.
On-Prem Deployment
Run Magic Whiteboard entirely within your own infrastructure. Full data sovereignty — no data leaves your network.
Regulated Industry Ready
Built for legal, healthcare, finance, and government. No audio files to subpoena, breach, or retain.
Live Transcription
Captures text in real-time as people speak - with speaker names and timestamps. No audio stored, ever.
AI Summaries & Action Items
Executive summary, key decisions, and extracted action items with assignees, due dates, and priorities - auto-generated after every meeting.
Calendar Auto-Join
Connect your Calendar and Beaver joins scheduled meetings automatically - a few minutes before start. Just admit Beaver when it knocks.
Commitment Tracking
Track verbal promises made in meetings - not just tasks. Open, fulfilled, and expired commitments give your team a clear accountability ledger across every meeting.
Pre-Meeting Briefings
30 minutes before each meeting, Beaver emails you a personalised AI brief - past decisions, open actions, and context from previous conversations. Walk in prepared, every time.
The Lodge - Your Own Wiki
Every meeting Beaver summarises automatically feeds your personal knowledge base. Decisions, context, and history - searchable, always up to date, its your personal memory bank.
Push to Your Tools
Send action items directly to Linear, GitHub, Notion, Jira, Asana, or Trello with one click. Post summaries to Slack or Discord. Beaver fits into how your team already works.
Meeting Templates
Choose a summary format matched to your meeting type - Sprint Planning, Sales Call, 1:1, Incident Postmortem, or General. The AI output is shaped to exactly what you need.
Analytics & Insights
Track meeting health scores, speaker time distribution, action item completion rates, and trends over time. See which meetings move the needle and which ones don't.
Beyond notes
Meeting Intelligence
Summaries are just the start. Beaver analyses patterns across every meeting to make your team sharper, faster, and more accountable.
Ask Beaver
Chat with your entire meeting history. Ask "What did we decide about pricing?" or "What has Sarah committed to this month?" - answers grounded in real conversations.
Semantic Search
Search by meaning, not just keywords. Every meeting is vectorised and indexed so you can find the conversation where "we discussed the pricing change" without knowing the exact words used.
Meeting Scorecard
Every meeting scored 0-100 on five dimensions: decision density, talk balance, action completion, commitment follow-through, and engagement. Track which meetings actually move the needle.
Speaker Insights
Understand who drives your meetings. AI classifies speakers as decision-makers, facilitators, contributors, or observers based on talk patterns, with collaboration and influence scores.
Knowledge Graph
An interactive map of connections between your meetings, people, and topics. See which projects are discussed most, who is involved in what, and how threads connect across weeks.
Accountability Network
Visualise who commits to whom across your organisation. See the web of promises, track follow-through rates, and identify where accountability breaks down.
Watchlist
Track competitor names, project codes, risk keywords, or any term across every meeting. Get instant alerts when something you're monitoring comes up in conversation.
AI Agenda Builder
Describe what you want to discuss and Beaver generates a structured agenda - informed by open action items, unresolved threads, and context from past meetings with the same group.
Meeting ROI
Calculate the real cost of every meeting - time spent vs. decisions made vs. actions generated. Identify which recurring meetings are worth keeping and which should be an email.
Daily Standup Digest
Replace your daily standup meeting with an automated email digest. Beaver summarises what your team discussed, decided, and committed to yesterday - delivered every morning.
Team Workspaces
Create shared workspaces where meetings are automatically tagged to the right team. Invite members by email or invite code. Role-based access with admin and member permissions.
Smart Meeting Prep
Before any meeting, generate a briefing package with relationship history, unresolved action items, and suggested agenda points - all pulled from past conversations with the same attendees.
Works where your team works
Push action items straight to your tools
One click from the meeting detail page sends tasks directly to wherever your team tracks work. No copy-paste, no context switching.

Built for every Dam team
Different roles. Same mission: stop losing context.
Close more deals. Remember every signal.
Sales teams lose deals not from bad pitches, but from missed follow-ups. Beaver captures every objection, buying signal, and commitment - so you can write a perfect follow-up email in minutes.
- → Objections and concerns surfaced automatically
- → Next steps extracted as action items with deadlines
- → Share call summary with your manager or CRM instantly
- → Never say "sorry, I forgot you mentioned budget constraints"
Sales call summary
Buying signals
Prospect asked about onboarding timeline (twice) and mentioned "our Q1 budget is already approved"
Objections raised
Concerned about integration with existing Salesforce setup. Needs IT sign-off.
Committed next step

Sprint notes, decisions, and blockers - automated.
Engineering teams move fast. Beaver keeps a reliable record of architectural decisions, sprint commitments, and who owns what - so nothing gets lost between standups.
- → Architecture decisions recorded with full context
- → Blockers flagged as priority action items
- → Async teammates catch up without re-running the standup
- → Sprint retrospective notes generated automatically
Sprint planning summary
Decisions made
Ship API v1 without OAuth this sprint. Revisit in Sprint 14. Use Redis for session storage.
Blockers
Staging environment down - blocking QA. James escalating to DevOps.
Sprint 13 commitments
API v1, auth refactor, onboarding flow redesign - all owned and deadlined.
Lead 10 meetings a week. Miss nothing.
Executives and managers can't be everywhere. Beaver gives you a crisp 2-minute summary of every meeting you attended (or missed) - decisions, risks, and who committed to what.
- → 5-sentence executive brief for every meeting
- → Track all open action items across your org
- → Catch up on any meeting you couldn't attend
- → Email digests of what your team committed to

- → Full audit trail - who said what, when
- → No audio files means no audio data liability
- → GDPR-compliant with configurable data retention
- → SSO and role-based access for enterprise teams

Other tools start when you press record.
Beaver starts before that.
Most meeting tools capture what happened. Beaver helps you before, during, after, and for every meeting that follows.
AI briefing email
30 minutes before the meeting, Beaver sends you a personalised brief - attendees, past decisions, open action items, and what's still unresolved.
Your 9 AM stand-up starts soon
Open actions from last week: API docs (James, overdue), design review (Mia, today). Last discussed: Q4 scope cuts.
Live transcript
Beaver joins as a silent participant. Text captured in real-time with speaker identification and timestamps. No audio files - ever.

Teams that love Beaver
Real feedback from real humans.
"We tried other competitor products, but all of them recorded audio - our legal team flagged it immediately. Beaver's text-only approach was the deciding factor. It captures everything we need without the compliance headache."
Dan Keller
InFlux Technologies
"Our team runs multiple meetings a week. Before Beaver, someone was always the designated note-taker and half-listening. Now everyone's fully present and Beaver handles the rest. The action item extraction alone saves us an hour of follow-up per week."
Kadi Barry
Manager, Restore Empathy
"Beaver is my secret weapon for running effective meetings. I used to dread the follow-up work, but now I can focus on facilitating and let Beaver handle the notes and action items. It's like having a superpower that makes meetings actually productive."
Daz Williams
Founder, FluxAI
