Ida Documentation

Ida is an AI-powered meeting assistant that surfaces relevant documentation exactly when you need it. It combines real-time transcription, semantic search, and intelligent recommendations to keep you informed during any conversation.

What is Ida?

Ida—Intelligent Documentation Assistant—is a native macOS desktop application built for professionals who need instant access to their knowledge base during meetings, calls, and conversations. Instead of manually searching through docs while someone is talking, Ida listens and automatically surfaces the most relevant information.

How It Works

1. Index your documentation — Add local files, crawl websites, or paste text to build your knowledge base.
2. Start a session — Begin recording when you join a meeting or call.
3. Ida listens — Audio is transcribed in real-time and analyzed for context.
4. Relevant docs surface — AI recommendations appear automatically based on the conversation.
5. Ask follow-ups — Use the chat to dive deeper into any topic.
