Hyper

Hey HN, we're building Hyper: an iOS voice recorder for the conversations that matter too much to pause and take notes. 1:1s with your cofounder, coffee chats, standups, whiteboard sessions. One tap to record, and when you're done you get a summary, full transcript, and tappable action items (calendar events, reminders, email drafts) — no notes needed.We built this because at our last company (a robotics startup), the most consequential decisions happened spontaneously — in hallways, over lunch, on walks. None of it got captured. Every recorder we tried was built for scheduled Zoom calls with agendas. We wanted something for the messy, unstructured conversations where the real work happens.How it works: Hyper transcribes your conversations in real-time. On-device wakeword detection lets you ask it questions mid-conversation with “hey hyper” or via chat without breaking flow — "wait, what did we decide about the deadline last time?" — and it pulls from every past conversation. After the meeting, another agent extracts structured actions and maps them to the rest of your tools (like Calendar, GMail, and native iOS integrations).The bet we're making: existing meeting tools stop at "here's a document." We believe people don't want better documents from their meetings, they want answers to their questions.We envision a future where people can simply ask across all conversations and get the answer instantly — without files or folders or manual organization. We’re building out a long-term memory framework that lets Hyper resolve conflicting information, surface stale information, and help untangle the gnarliest of problems.We're two founders, currently self-funded, building in SF. We’d love for you to try it out in your next exciting conversation and to hear your feedback. Thanks!-- Shalin & Kanyes
