Hello Product Hunters! I'm Julian, founder of Hedy AI, and I'm thrilled to be back with our biggest update yet: Hedy 2.0 featuring our native macOS app!

Since our initial launch, thousands of professionals have used Hedy to become the brightest person in the room. Now, we're bringing that same AI-powered meeting coach directly to your desktop.

🤔 What is Hedy?

Hedy is your AI meeting coach that analyzes conversations in real-time, providing instant insights when you need them most. It's like having a brilliant colleague whispering smart ideas in your ear, helping you contribute confidently and capture every important detail.

💻 What's New in Hedy 2.0?

  • Native macOS App: Connect directly to your system audio to analyze Zoom calls, Teams meetings, or any virtual conversation on your Mac—no phone required!

  • Expanded Language Support: Now with 30+ languages including Arabic, Hindi, and Thai on MacOS.

  • Automatic To-Do Tracking: Hedy identifies and organizes your to-dos from your conversations automatically so they can be exported to your favorite task management tool via our API.

  • Cross-Device Experience: Start a meeting on your Mac, review insights on your phone, and never miss a beat.

🌟 Why Hedy Matters Now

Stanford research shows virtual meetings demand 30% more cognitive effort than in-person conversations. Hedy reduces this burden by highlighting what matters in real-time, turning chaotic calls into strategic conversations.

💡 Perfect For:

  • Professionals navigating back-to-back Zoom meetings

  • Non-native speakers wanting to contribute confidently

  • Team leaders seeking clearer communication

  • Anyone who's ever thought "I wish I had said that" after a meeting

🚀 Exclusive for Product Hunters:

🔮 What's Next?

We're working on our Windows app and have an exciting roadmap of features coming soon, including session tagging, advanced search, and automatic feedback during sessions.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! What features would make your meetings even more productive? How can we make Hedy an even better meeting companion?

Thank you for your support on our journey to transform professional communication!

@julian_pscheid thank you for making it available in MacOS. It’s definitely a life saver for me personally as a consultant.

Julian Pscheid

@hendra_tambunan That's great to hear!

Anil Agrawal

@julian_pscheid Huge Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉 on the launch! Been using Hedy for sometime now. Pretty sleek app and awesome experience so far. Thanks for all the hard work. Best wishes for a great success 👍🏼

Julian Pscheid

Thank you, @anilagrawal64 !

CA Rajesh Pabari

@julian_pscheid Hindi support to android

Julian Pscheid

@ca_rajesh_pabari Yes, we would love to add that! Hopefully later this year our speech recognition tech will be able to handle Hindi well enough on Android.

@julian_pscheid you guys are doing an AWESOME job. Love Hedy.

Christophe HK
Regular user of Hedy, on both web and android. I can only strongly encourage you to give a try to this gem, and their brand new MacOs app - I should buy a Mac 😄 Congrats Hedy and Julian !
Julian Pscheid

Thank you @christophe_h !

In the section "Your role", I can see 6 or 7 listed.
Will be more roles available there? E.g. for marketers :)

Julian Pscheid

@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the comment! Yes, we are always looking to add more roles to create specific session types. The "Business Meeting" role does cover most use cases, even for marketers, and can be fine-tuned to your specific needs via the custom context feature. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Congrats on the Hedy 2.0 launch! 🎉 This is scarily awesome—like having a genius whisperer in your pocket. The real-time insights and to-do tracking sound like absolute game-changers for back-to-back meetings. And it’s on Android too?! 🙌 (Life-saver for us mobile-first users!) Any chance we’ll see a Windows version soon?

Quick Q: Would it work for offline/in-person meetings if you connect a mic? (In Indonesia, many folks—especially older generations—still love face-to-face chats over Zoom.) Either way, stoked to try this out! Cheers to smarter convos! 🚀

Julian Pscheid

@rani_zagita Thanks for the question! Hedy works great offline, in person, and for Android... all speech recognition happens on your own phone and does not require an internet connection. We built Hedy with privacy and global users in mind! Hedy does require an internet connection in order to chat with Hedy and create summaries though, but this can happen at a later point if internet is unavailable during the session.

We're also working on a Windows version that we hope to launch in the next couple of months!

Gianmaria Caltagirone

Wow! Hedy turns every meeting into a coaching session and a documented asset at the same time. From a digital‑ops perspective, that’s game‑changing: lower meeting fatigue and automatic, shareable summaries. I’ve tested a bunch of note‑takers, but the live nudges (“ask a clarifying question now…”) make this one stand out. 👏

Julian Pscheid

Thanks, @gianmaria_caltagirone ! Great to hear that you see the value in the real-time Q&A :)

Yan Balau

Congrats @julian_pscheid. It's nice to see that Hedy is available on macOS.

Will there be a version for Windows by any chance 🔆?

Julian Pscheid

Thanks, @yan_balau ! The Windows version is in development and will be ready in the coming months.

Yan Balau

@julian_pscheid That's awesome, looking forward to it!

Eljo Prifti

Cool, this is also for Mac now.

Julian Pscheid

@eljo_prifti We're pretty excited about it :)

Whitney Trujillo

I love this app and use it all the time! I also have my teenage sons use it to monitor school lectures so they can be confident there will be excellent notes to review while focusing their time on active engagement. Solid app!

Julian Pscheid

@whitneytrujillo Thank you! I love that you're able to use it for your son as well.

Vrushank Vyas

Hedy is one of the coolest applications of Gen AI I've seen to personal augmentation. Congratulations on the launch! Going to try out the MacOS app now soon!

Julian Pscheid

Thanks, @vrv18! And thanks to the entire @Portkey Prompt Engineering Studio team for building such a great tool for us to use in Hedy!

Casey Allen

I'm a regular user of Hedy iOS and have been constantly using the Mac app since released. It's a no brainer for meetings and a standard part of my day to day workflow now. Great work Julian and team!

Julian Pscheid

Thanks, @casey_allen ! Great to hear that the Mac app is part of your daily workflow.

Alfredo Jimenez

It does exactly what it's built for: helping you "contribute confidently, capture every important detail, and focus on what truly matters." It consistently helps me feel more productive, achieve better results, and free up valuable time, especially in long meetings, both personal and business!

Congrats, Hedy Team!

Julian Pscheid

Thank you,@ajsworld22 ! Great to hear that Hedy is making a difference for you!

Patryk Pijanowski

Love how Hedy brings real-time coaching to meetings — feels like having a smart co-pilot by your side. Does it integrate with tools like Zoom or Google Meet? Congrats on the launch! 👏

Julian Pscheid

Hi @patpijanowski! Hedy will listed to your virtual meetings (Zoom, Meet, etc) without "joining" the call. Hedy is your private coach...

Just S

Hedy AI is simply incredible! I've been a user for quite awhile now and I use it nearly everyday. I love it! @Hedy AI has added so much to my daily workflow. The ability to interact with the AI during the recording is the standout feature and why I use Hedy over the other half-dozen similar aps that I own. @julian_pscheid and his team are relentless in development and improvements. This is one of my most frequently recommended apps. Great to see another PH day! Best of luck!

Julian Pscheid

@just_s Wonderful! Thank you for your support!

CA Rajesh Pabari

I used this product, and this is really good.

Especially the feature of automatic mail with detailed notes on the discussion, steps to be taken, to do item from meeting/audio notes, etc.

It is at this stage. I am hoping to get tonnes of other features down the line.

Julian Pscheid

Thanks for the support, @ca_rajesh_pabari !

Savvas Konsta

In few years there will not be human interaction!

Julian Pscheid

@mrrabbar 😂 That's not quite our goal... we just want interactions to be brighter!

Glenn Marcus

Been an active user since initial launch. The summaries are very accurate and action items are clear. The product team is building with the community and moving fast adding great features. Congrats @julian_pscheid

Julian Pscheid

Thank you for your support, @glennmarcus!

Meenank Minnu

Duy told about this and I'm super excited to try out Hedy!

Julian Pscheid

@superminnu Awesome! Don't be shy to reach out with any questions!

Kay Kwak

I love the idea of a real-time meeting coach whispering smart insights — especially during back-to-back Zooms where it's easy to get overwhelmed. The automatic task tracking and expanded language support make it even more impressive.

Julian Pscheid

@kay_arkain Thanks! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Jun Shen

Excited for AI-driven meeting notes! 😄

Julian Pscheid

@shenjun Yay! Don't forget to try Hedy for real-time insights during your conversations as well.

Bani Risset
One of the best LTD tools I've ever bought. Hopefully it will be further improved for Indonesian transcripts. Superb!
Julian Pscheid

Thanks, @banirisset ! Definitely check out the transcript quality on the MacOS app. We're able to provide better quality due to the increased processing power.
