Today Recording reads every call against your calendar, projects, teammates and living memory, so the notes name the actual project and the actual people. Each summary ends with a next step you can start without leaving Today.
Context from your memory, a record of what changed, and proactive next steps — not just a shorter transcript.
Today Recording reads each conversation against the living memory you have already built — the projects in motion, the people involved, the decisions already made. That context lets it understand which launch you mean, who a name refers to, and whether an idea is new or background.
Projects evolve through a series of conversations. Today Recording connects recurring meetings to the same project, notices when a plan moves or a decision gets replaced, and treats the latest confirmed decision as the current state while preserving how you got there.
A transcript captures what happened; Today Recording helps you decide what happens next. Ask why a decision was made, surface what remains unresolved, or turn the conversation into a plan for the week — without exporting notes or starting over in another tool.
From a transcript alone, no tool can tell which project "launch" means, who Sunhao is, or which past decision just got reversed.

Standalone tools only hear the current call, so their notes are fluent but generic. Today Recording already knows your projects, teammates and past decisions, so its summaries name the actual project, the actual people, and what changed since last time.
No. When a calendar event is about to start, a Live Activity on your lock screen asks if you want to record — one tap, and it begins. You stay in control of every recording.
Yes — that's the point. The summary isn't the end of a recording. Ask why a decision was made, what changed since the last meeting, or have Today Recording draft your week from what was discussed, all in the same thread.
Never. Memory supplies context; the recording supplies facts. If Today Recording can't confirm a name, decision or relationship, it keeps the uncertainty instead of guessing.
Yes. Decisions from recurring meetings live in the same project context, so Today Recording answers with the current state — and can explain how the plan evolved across sessions.
