Most of our Portland engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI meeting notes is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
Built and supported here - the way a Portland business would actually use it.
Our goal is to give Portland 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
Built on: Whisper Claude Recall.ai Vercel

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 Portland 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 |
What's different about doing this work in Portland.
- Portland runs on a mix of tech, manufacturing and a famously independent small business scene - AI here has to respect a market that's skeptical of hype by default.
- A semiconductor and tech manufacturing base (the 'Silicon Forest'), and a dense scene of independent retailers, restaurants and makers. Portland businesses want AI that's genuinely useful, not just the current trend.

How we build AI meeting notes for a Portland team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland teams

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Portland 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Has this actually shipped for a real Portland?
Yes. Saves managers ~5 hours a week on follow-up admin. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
