Highlights

• Evidence-backed findings — answers cite exact quotes and name the source transcript.
• Four analysis modes — Decision brief, Themes & patterns, Risks & objections, Customer language.
• Bring your own model — uses a local Ollama model when available, with a grounded extractive fallback when offline.
• Private by design — transcript content never leaves your machine; no account, no telemetry.
• System-aware light and dark themes.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
• Optional: Ollama running locally for AI synthesis
