Hedy is an AI-powered meeting assistant that provides real-time transcription, analysis, and personalized insights for your meetings, lectures, and conversations. It uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning to understand context and offer valuable suggestions and prompts.
Hedy was born from a desire to help people communicate more effectively and confidently. Recognizing that many struggle with active listening, articulating thoughts, and navigating complex conversations, we created an AI-powered tool to provide real-time support and guidance, empowering individuals to become better communicators and leaders.
Hedy is named after Hedy Lamarr, the iconic Hollywood actress and inventor. Lamarr co-invented a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology that laid the foundation for modern wireless communication. We chose this name to honor Lamarr's legacy and reflect our commitment to innovation, intelligence, and empowerment.
Hedy listens to your conversations through your mobile device, transcribes the content in real-time, and analyzes the discussion to provide personalized insights and coaching prompts. These prompts are designed to help you excel in your interactions.
Currently, Hedy supports English. We're actively working on expanding our language support in future updates.
No, Hedy can only listen to external conversations, not those occurring on the same device where the app is running. Here's what you need to know:
Remember, Hedy is most effective when it can clearly hear all participants in the conversation, so proper placement of your device is key for optimal performance.
Cloud Sync allows you to access your Hedy session history and data across multiple devices. It synchronizes your sessions, making them available on both your mobile app and web browser interface. This allows you to interact with Hedy during video calls or while working on your desktop without needing to look at your mobile device.
You can enable Cloud Sync in the app settings. When you first install Hedy, you'll be prompted to opt-in to Cloud Sync. You can also change this setting later in your account preferences.
Hedy requires an internet connection for optimal performance, as it relies on cloud-based AI models. We're exploring options for offline functionality in future updates.
Transcription speed can vary depending on your device's processing power. Hedy uses on-device speech recognition to ensure your privacy, which can be resource-intensive. Here's what you need to know:
Remember, regardless of the update frequency, Hedy continues to listen and analyze your entire conversation. The difference is only in how often you see the transcript refresh on your screen.
We prioritize data privacy and security. All conversations and interactions with Hedy are encrypted end-to-end, and we employ industry-standard security measures to protect your data. While we use Anthropic's AI technology for advanced analysis, we have strict data handling protocols in place to ensure your information remains protected.
Hedy is designed with confidentiality in mind. Audio recordings are processed locally on your device and are not stored or transmitted. Transcripts are generated on-device and then securely transmitted to Anthropic's servers for AI analysis. This analysis is performed in real-time, and the transcripts are not retained by Anthropic after processing. All data transmission occurs over encrypted connections.
If you've enabled Cloud Sync, your session data is encrypted and stored securely in the Hedy cloud. This allows you to access your sessions across devices while maintaining confidentiality.
Hedy shares anonymized transcripts with Anthropic for AI analysis. These transcripts do not contain personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or other sensitive data. The AI analysis focuses on the content and context of the conversation to generate insights and prompts.
Anthropic uses the anonymized transcripts solely for the purpose of providing AI analysis for Hedy's functionality. This data is not used to train or improve Anthropic's AI models. Anthropic does not store the transcripts or analysis results beyond the immediate processing required to generate insights for your Hedy session.
Currently, Anthropic's AI analysis is an integral part of Hedy's core functionality. We're exploring options for more granular control over data sharing in future updates. If you have concerns about data sharing, please contact our support team for alternative solutions.
No, your data is never sold. It is only shared with Anthropic as described above for the purpose of providing Hedy's services. We do not share your data with any other third parties unless required by law, and in such cases, we will notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.
Yes, you can delete your Hedy account and all associated data at any time through the app's settings or by contacting our support team. When you delete your account, all your data is permanently removed from our systems. Please note that account deletion is permanent and irreversible. If you've enabled Cloud Sync, deleting your account will remove all your synced data from our servers as well as from your local devices.
We are committed to complying with global data protection regulations, including GDPR and CCPA. We regularly review and update our data handling practices to ensure compliance. You have the right to request access to your data, correct it, or request its deletion.
