A bot-free AI meeting assistant that listens on-device and gives live suggestions and fact-checks.
Grounded in available product and source data
Every participant on a call sees a visible bot join the meeting with most AI notetakers; Modus runs on the device instead, capturing audio without a separate entrant on the participant list, and works for in-person conversations too, not only video calls.
During a live conversation, it produces transcription, real-time suggestions, fact-checks, and explanations as the discussion happens — not assembled afterward from a recording. A running Notes panel and a searchable transcript sit alongside those live suggestions, so the output of a meeting is available while it is still happening, not only in a post-meeting summary.
AFK Mode addresses a specific gap in most meeting tools: stepping away from a call or conversation usually means missing whatever happened in between. Modus keeps listening while a user is away and catches them up on return, rather than leaving a hole in the transcript. Once the meeting ends, a summary compiles notes, action items, and key takeaways without the user having to clean up a raw transcript by hand.
The site does not specify how the fact-checking works technically — what sources it draws from, or how it handles a claim it cannot verify — which matters for anyone relying on that feature in a conversation where being wrong out loud has a real cost. It's also unclear from the page whether the in-person conversation mode has the same accuracy as the video-call mode, since the two involve very different audio conditions.
No — that's the specific problem it's built to avoid. The site states it works quietly on the user's device rather than sending a bot into the call, so it doesn't appear on the participant list the way traditional AI notetakers do.
Yes, according to the site, which states support for both online and in-person conversations. What isn't detailed is whether transcription and fact-check accuracy hold up the same way in an in-person setting with more background noise as they do on a clean video-call audio feed.
AFK Mode is built for exactly that: the site states Modus keeps listening while the user is away and helps them catch up on return, rather than leaving a gap in the notes and transcript for that period.
The site offers a download with no credit card required to get started. Details on what separates a free tier from any paid tier, if one exists, are not laid out on the page — anyone evaluating it for team-wide use should check current plan details directly before assuming free covers ongoing use.
