AI notes & chat

As soon as a call finishes processing, Callmora writes it up into notes and opens a chat you can ask about it. The same chat can also answer across a collection or your whole history. Both the notes and the chat need an AI provider configured — there's no step that skips this, so start with picking a provider if you haven't already.

What's in your notes

Every call gets the same core sections, regardless of mode or recipe:

  • TL;DR — one sentence, the single most important takeaway.
  • Overview — a short paragraph of what the call was about.
  • Key points — grouped by theme; this is the part a summary recipe reshapes.
  • Action Items — grouped by owner, and fed into the To-Do view.
  • Decisions — what the group actually agreed on, kept separate from tasks.
  • Open Questions — unresolved items that need a follow-up.
  • Highlights — notable moments with a timestamp; click one to jump the player there.
  • Topics — a few short tags, rolled up into the Dashboard's top topics.
AI notes for a call — TL;DR, decisions and to-dos

These always appear — a recipe only changes what's inside Key points, never removes or adds the sections around it.

Shape the notes with a recipe

A summary recipe controls the Key points section of the notes: which sections appear and what each one should capture. Callmora ships built-ins for 1-on-1, Sales debrief, Stand-up, Hiring interview, Tech spec / design review, and Investor update, plus Generic (plain notes, the default) and Auto, which matches the call's title against those built-ins — a title like "Weekly sales sync" resolves to Sales debrief — and falls back to Generic when nothing matches. Set your Default recipe in Settings → Summary, or pick a different one for a single call from its notes header; Callmora re-generates that call's Key points and keeps any action items you've already edited or assigned.

Notes are written in the language you choose alongside it — Settings → Summary → Language offers System, English, Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, or Italian, independent of what was actually spoken.

Pick an AI provider

Summaries and chat share one provider setting, separate from your transcription engine — set it in Settings → Summary:

OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude

Paste your own key and Callmora calls that provider directly. Get a key from platform.openai.com/api-keys, aistudio.google.com/app/apikey, or console.anthropic.com/settings/keys.

AssemblyAI LLM Gateway

Reuses your AssemblyAI transcription key by default (you can set a different one). This is a paid AssemblyAI tier — the free transcription plan doesn't include gateway access. Manage keys at assemblyai.com/dashboard/api-keys.

Custom endpoint

Point Callmora at any OpenAI-compatible server — Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, LiteLLM — with a Base URL and a model name; the API key is optional for a local server. A Test connection button confirms Callmora can reach it and see the model.

There's no bundled on-device summarizer

Unlike local transcription, Callmora doesn't ship a built-in model for notes or chat — one of the providers above always has to answer, over the network, with your key. The one way to keep a summary entirely on your Mac is the Custom endpoint pointed at a server you run yourself (Ollama on localhost is the common case): Callmora recognizes a loopback address and the chat panel then tells you the call "stays on your Mac" — but that's your own local model, not something Callmora includes.

Keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, never on a Callmora server. See Security & sync for the full picture of what leaves your Mac in cloud mode.

Ask about one call

A floating chat button in the bottom-right of the main window opens a panel scoped to whatever you're looking at. Over a single call it answers using only that call's transcript and notes — ask "what did we agree on?" or "what were the objections?" and get a grounded reply, with clickable [mm:ss] citations that seek the player to the moment it was said. Answers stream in as they're written.

Asking questions about a call in Callmora's chat

Ask across your calls

Switch the panel's scope chip to a Collection or to All calls and the same chat widens out — "what did we tell Meridian about pricing?" pulls a cited answer from whichever calls matter, each citation naming its call so you can jump straight to it. For a couple of pointed questions Callmora pulls in the full transcripts of the most relevant few calls; for a broad roll-up across many, it works from their notes instead. Either way, the panel discloses how many calls were in scope for that answer.
