Hedy

Overview

Hedy is a real-time AI-powered meeting coaching and transcription application developed by Hedy AI LLC, a Portland, Oregon-based company. Designed as an AI conversation companion, Hedy actively listens to conversations as they unfold and delivers live, context-aware assistance that helps users communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact across meetings, interviews, classes, and pitches. The platform combines on-device speech recognition with intelligent language processing to generate practical talking points, nudges, and prompts without disrupting the natural flow of dialogue.

At its core, Hedy provides real-time coaching through context-aware suggestions and discussion prompts, alongside automatic transcription and meeting summary generation. The system supports conversations in over 30 languages, making it well suited for multilingual teams and international business environments. A key technical differentiator is Local AI Processing: on capable hardware, speech recognition, transcription, summarization, and live suggestions all run locally on the user's device, ensuring full functionality offline and without sending data to the cloud. In default cloud mode, Hedy still captures and transcribes conversations during connectivity loss and generates insights once the connection is restored. The application is available on macOS, iOS, Apple Watch, Windows, and Android, with seamless cross-device cloud synchronization.

Hedy places strong emphasis on data privacy and enterprise-grade security. The platform is GDPR compliant with Data Processing Agreement (DPA) options available, has completed an independent SOC 2 Type I examination, and has undergone a HIPAA assessment. Critically, Hedy never trains its AI models on user data, and users can disable Cloud Sync to keep a conversation exclusively on the device that captured it. For workflow automation, Hedy integrates with Zapier and provides a public API, enabling connections to CRM platforms, project management systems, email clients, and other business productivity tools.

With a 4.8/5 aggregate user rating and a free plan that allows individuals to experience real-time conversation coaching before upgrading, Hedy is positioned as a practical AI assistant for professionals seeking to enhance communication performance, retain accurate conversation records, and operationalize conversational insights into their daily workflows.
