Why consultants need this
Consultants live in back-to-back discovery, kickoff, and status calls under client NDAs — and a notetaker bot joining a client call reads as recording them for a third party.
- Client calls are under NDA; a bot joining as a participant is an awkward look.
- Back-to-back calls leave no time to write notes up in between.
- You need clean who-said-what for scoping and follow-ups.
How Humla fits
See it in action: how to record Zoom on your Mac.
- No bot in the call. Humla records your Mac directly, so a client never sees a recorder join.
- On-device and private. Under NDA, nothing has to leave your machine — no cloud, no vendor retention.
- Who-said-what, sorted. Colour-coded speaker labels make scoping notes and action items easy to attribute.
- Free, with optional team sync at $5/user/month when your practice grows.
