Google releases a new local-first Granola competitor

Note-taking apps usually send your audio to a server, but Google's new AI Edge Foresight runs on your Mac and can work with no internet connection, using an on-device model with 740 million parameters to transcribe meetings and write notes. You can also add PDFs, Office files and other documents to build a knowledge base, then ask questions about them during a meeting. It is optimized for Apple Silicon.
