Overview
- Google released Google AI Edge Foresight as a free, experimental macOS app optimized for Apple Silicon that records and transcribes meetings locally.
- The app offers a split-screen workspace where users can take shorthand notes on one side while the app generates polished summaries and full transcripts on the other.
- Foresight runs EmbeddingGemma 2 on-device to create embeddings and uses a Gemma 4–powered assistant for interactive Q&A, with EmbeddingGemma 2 reported at roughly 740 million parameters for offline use.
- Google says files, meeting audio, and notes never leave the computer and that the app can work completely offline, highlighting a push toward privacy-focused, low-latency edge AI.
- The release places Google directly in a crowded market of note-taking tools like Granola, Wispr, and Calendly and could change how users who travel or work offline capture and search meeting content.
