Layers

Layers captures conversations passively -- no meeting bot required -- and uses AI to extract structured, actionable data. Not just summaries, but budgets, timelines, decision makers, requirements, and pain points.

Getting Started

1
Record

Use the batch recorder to upload audio files, or start a live streaming session for real-time transcription with speaker diarization.

2
Review

Once processing completes, review the AI-generated summary, key points, action items, and intake form extraction.

3
Track

Every meeting shows a transparent cost breakdown -- STT costs, LLM costs, and totals. Monitor your usage on the Usage page.
