Most meeting tools are archivists. They record, they transcribe, and an hour later they hand you a tidy summary of a conversation you can no longer influence. That is useful for the record. It is useless in the moment when someone raises an objection and you need the right answer now.
Elyvo is built for that moment. It sits over your call as a floating window, follows what is being said, and offers the next move while the meeting is still live.
It works over any call, without being a plugin
Elyvo does not integrate with your video tool, so there is nothing to install into Zoom and no bot that joins the call with a name like “Notetaker”. It floats over whatever window you have open:
- Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams — any conferencing app.
- Your browser, if the call is in a tab.
- Docs and slides you are presenting from.
- Your IDE, during a technical review.
Because it is a desktop overlay rather than an integration, it also works in the meeting formats nobody builds plugins for — a phone call on speaker, a webinar, a room where you are the only person with a laptop open.
What it actually does during the call
Reads the moment
Ambient mode follows the conversation as it happens. When the discussion turns — a budget objection, a question about timelines, a technical challenge you half-anticipated — Elyvo surfaces a suggestion without you asking for one.
Points you forward
The suggestion is a next move, not a wall of text. “They just raised budget concerns — pivot to payback period next, then anchor on the caching win from Q2.” Something you can act on in the three seconds you have before it is your turn to speak.
Remembers the thread
Every session is transcribed, stored and searchable. When someone refers back to what was agreed two weeks ago, the answer is a search away rather than an apology.
Clean screen capture
Elyvo leaves its own window out of the screenshots it takes, so what reaches the model is your work rather than the assistant sitting on top of it.
Connect your calendar and it arrives prepared
Connect Google Calendar (read-only) and Elyvo knows what the meeting is, who is in it and what it is about before it starts. The context is there from the first minute instead of being assembled while you are already talking.
Being honest about privacy
Excluding Elyvo’s own window from its screenshots keeps the captures clean. It does not mean the data stays on your machine. To transcribe and to generate suggestions, Elyvo sends meeting audio to a speech-to-text provider and screen context to AI providers. Exactly what is sent, and to whom, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
There is a second thing worth saying plainly. If you transcribe a meeting, you are recording the people in it, and in many countries that requires informing them or obtaining their consent. Elyvo does not do that for you. Check the law where you are before you record.
Pricing
Elyvo runs on points, not a subscription: every new account gets 150 points free, and an hour of live session costs about 150–250. Packs start at $5 and points never expire. See pricing for the detail.
