The problem
People needed to capture meetings without dividing their attention between the conversation and written notes.

Noto
Noto records meetings and turns them into transcripts, summaries and action items. Users can return to a meeting and ask follow-up questions about it. QPOI built the iOS and Android app, with recordings stored on-device and AI processing through Gemini.

The challenge
The client wanted people to capture a meeting without dividing their attention between the conversation and written notes. A recording alone was not enough: they needed a transcript, a summary and a way to find decisions afterwards.
QPOI had to support long recordings, recover from interrupted sessions and manage files on the device. AI processing then produced the transcript and summary, with follow-up questions available after processing.

Core features
2.1
From recording to meeting notes
Recorded audio is prepared for Gemini, which generates a transcript, summary and action items. The saved meeting becomes the starting point for follow-up questions.
2.2
Chat with your notes
After processing, users can ask questions about the meeting to revisit a decision or clarify a point without reading the entire transcript.
2.3
Resilient file management
Recordings stored locally with recovery logic for interrupted sessions, helping the app behave reliably under real mobile conditions.
2.4
Subscription architecture
RevenueCat integration supporting freemium and pro plans, feature gating, and usage limits needed for a launch-ready app.

Mobile engineering fundamentals
3.1
Recording and storage limits
The app tracks recording duration and file size as a session progresses, so storage quotas can be applied during capture.
3.2
Permissions handling
The recording flow handles microphone and storage permissions, including the case where access is denied.
3.3
Store compliance
Managed submission for iOS and Android, including ATT privacy compliance.
