Audio never leaves your Mac for AI processing. Hosted providers can receive transcript text plus feature-specific context such as your question, persona, goals, prior suggestions, and relevant excerpts from your selected vault. Pro sends that text directly to the provider you configure. Cloud sends it through Kairo's gateway to the selected upstream provider without retaining the prompt or response after the request completes.

Yes. Call Mode captures system audio, so it works with any app that plays audio through your Mac — Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack Huddles, Discord, and more. No bot joins your call.

Kairo Pro is $12 per month or $99 per year, plus any usage your chosen API provider bills you directly. Kairo never marks up that provider bill, and you can avoid provider charges by running Ollama locally. Kairo Cloud is $19 per month and includes $5 of hosted AI usage, based on Kairo's provider cost. Cloud is currently invite-only. Local transcription does not use AI allowance.

Transcription continues because it runs on-device. Hosted AI features pause until connectivity returns. The active session is periodically saved to a local recovery snapshot; audio exists only when audio recording is enabled.

You can keep using Free without a subscription for local recording, on-device transcription, and your meeting library. Pro is $12 per month or $99 per year and unlocks every AI workflow using your API key or Ollama. Cloud is $19 per month with AI included and is currently invite-only. AI workflows pause on Free after the trial.

Nothing changes — every meeting is a plain Markdown file in a folder you chose. Open them in Obsidian, any text editor, or Finder. There's no proprietary database and no lock-in.

After you confirm deletion, Kairo immediately cancels every Stripe subscription and future renewal and ends hosted and paid access. Deletion does not automatically provide a prorated refund for unused paid time except where law requires one. Your meeting files, recordings, and exports remain on your Mac. If you only want to stop renewal while keeping your account through the paid period, use the billing portal instead.

Yes. In Call Mode, labels are exact by construction — your microphone is you, the call audio is them. In Memo Mode, a confidence-scored engine separates speakers from pauses and energy shifts and corrects recent mislabels retroactively. Rename or reassign any line, during or after the meeting.

Your trial begins when you start your first meeting and ends after 14 calendar days or 3 completed meetings, whichever comes first. A completed meeting runs for at least two minutes and reaches its post-call result. An invite code unlocks 30 days of Pro with no payment method. Cloud capacity is separate and remains invite-only during early access.

Kairo Cloud stops new hosted AI requests before they can create an overage. Local transcription continues, your existing meetings remain accessible, and you can switch to a provider you fund directly. There are no surprise usage charges.

Yes. Every meeting is saved as a plain Markdown file with YAML frontmatter into a folder you choose — point it at your Obsidian vault and meetings appear as notes, instantly linkable. The AI also reads your existing vault notes to ground its suggestions.

Yes. Drop a .wav, .m4a, .mp3, or .caf file onto the start screen and Kairo Notes transcribes it on-device, then generates the same summary, action items, and review screen as a live meeting.

An Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) running macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) or later. 8 GB of RAM is plenty. Transcription runs entirely on-device, so it works offline, while the AI copilot and summaries use your chosen provider’s API (or run fully local with Ollama, where we’d suggest 16 GB or more of RAM). Kairo Notes is built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI on Apple’s modern on-device speech and system-audio frameworks.
