conversate v1.0.0

Conversate v1.1.0: Windows Support & Cross-Platform Release

Welcome to the cross-platform release of Conversate! This desktop utility bridges local audio capture with real-time cloud intelligence to act as your conversational co-pilot for remote meetings, interviews, and live streams.

✨ Key Features

Core Audio & Transcription

• Native Dual Audio Capture: Seamlessly routes local microphone input and system loopback simultaneously—no third-party virtual audio cables required.
• Live Speaker Diarization: Real-time speech-to-text with automatic speaker detection, powered by a persistent Deepgram WebSocket connection.

Intelligence & Modules

• Universal AI Architecture: Provider-agnostic LLM integration. Connect to Google Gemini, or switch to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Groq, OpenRouter, or local models) using built-in presets.
• Proactive Context Cues: A background engine intelligently analyzes the rolling transcript to surface relevant concepts, entity bios, and quick answers on the fly without user prompting.
• Post-Conversation Summaries: Automatically generates highly structured, grammatically polished prose the moment your session ends, complete with actionable next steps.

UI & Workflow

• Intelligent Formatting: Raw, unpunctuated speech is automatically processed into properly capitalized, formatted paragraphs without altering the original spoken words.
• Polished Native Experience: Built with a dynamic interface featuring active module toggling, a non-intrusive alert drawer, and automatic Light/Dark mode integration.
• Local Data & Export: Sessions are saved entirely locally to your Documents/Conversate/logs folder as Markdown files, complete with a one-click PDF export function.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Download the installer for your operating system from the Assets section below:
   • macOS: Download Conversate-1.1.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Conversate into your Applications folder.
   • Windows: Download Conversate-1.1.0-Setup.exe and run the installer.

🔒 Privacy Note

Conversate operates entirely on your local machine. Audio is streamed directly to Deepgram for transcription, and context is routed exclusively to your configured AI provider. No conversation data, logs, or API keys are stored on external databases or servers outside of your local system.
