We've worked with enough operators in Oakland to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI meeting notes project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
AI meeting capture, built for businesses operating in Oakland.
Our goal is to give Oakland businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI meeting notes actually does
Every call, site visit, or toolbox talk captured, summarised, and turned into action items in your CRM or project tool. No more 'who was meant to do that?'.
- 01 Works on Teams, Zoom, Meet, or in-person recordings
- 02 Action items auto-pushed to ClickUp, Asana, or Jira
- 03 Searchable history across every meeting your team holds
- 04 Confidentiality controls - what stays internal, stays

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI meeting notes runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Oakland businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI meeting notes compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
Why Oakland businesses are a fit for this.
- Oakland runs on logistics, healthcare and a wave of businesses priced out of San Francisco - AI here means Bay Area capability without Bay Area rent.
- One of the busiest container ports on the West Coast, a major hospital network, and a growing tech and creative scene that moved across the bay for the rent. Oakland businesses want the same AI rigor as San Francisco without the San Francisco price tag.
We work with teams across Oakland: Downtown Oakland · Jack London Square · Temescal · Fruitvale · Rockridge · West Oakland.

How we build AI meeting notes for an Oakland team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Oakland business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI meeting capture.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Oakland businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Oakland teams
What changes for Oakland teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Saves managers ~5 hours a week on follow-up admin.
Not your typical AI agency.

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Oakland businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Oakland businesses?
Saves managers ~5 hours a week on follow-up admin. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI meeting notes stack we reach for is Whisper, Claude, Recall.ai, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
