Company profile
researched Sep 2026Sonnet AI provides an end-to-end AI meeting assistant and notetaker that records and transcribes conversations in real time and converts them into structured notes, summaries and action items. The desktop application captures audio directly from the user's device rather than joining calls as a meeting bot, so it works with video and communication platforms including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord and Slack without per-platform integrations.
Product features include a gallery of domain-specific note templates for use cases such as sales, legal, medical and recruiting; automatic extraction of tasks with assignees and deadlines; customizable note formats with tables and concept maps; relationship tracking that builds profiles of meeting participants; meeting reminders; and search across stored conversations. The workflow spans pre-meeting preparation (AI-generated participant profiles), in-meeting recording and transcription, and post-meeting follow-up including action items, automatically updated CRM entries and shareable summaries. A companion mobile application is described as forthcoming.
The service is delivered through desktop applications for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel builds, requiring macOS Ventura 13.0 or later) and for Windows 10/11, the latter offered as a public beta.
Business model
Sonnet distributes a downloadable desktop application under a freemium model: a free tier allows five notes per month with no credit card required, alongside subscription-based paid plans. Its terms of service reference Free, Plus, Pro and Enterprise tiers, including workspace and organization accounts where administrators control access and own account data.
Subscription fees for paid tiers of the service, charged in U.S. dollars and non-refundable, layered on a free version of the product.
Traction
The company states that thousands of professionals use the product; a free tier provides five notes per month. Application releases are published for macOS and Windows, with the Windows build in public beta.
