Google releases offline meeting notes app Foresight
What happened
On October 8, TechCrunch reported that Google released Google AI Edge Foresight, a Mac meeting notes app that runs fully offline and can record meetings across apps and in person. It is optimized for Apple Silicon and uses the 740-million-parameter on-device EmbeddingGemma 2, letting users take manual notes while transcription runs and ask questions of a Gemma 4-powered assistant. Later that day, The Verge reported the experimental app is free, transcribes meetings and audio files offline, generates summaries, and organizes notes alongside the transcript. Google says files, meeting audio and notes never leave the computer. The app is optimized only for Apple Silicon Macs.
