Put it on the table. If everyone taps, everyone's AI may remember this conversation. If anyone doesn't, it stays off the record.
Tell us how you'd use itTry it: everyone at this table has to tap.
One way to use it
Any iPhone touches the coaster. There's nothing to install: a small part of the app opens by itself.
Each person confirms what's allowed, for this conversation only. One holdout means no AI notes for anyone.
Everyone's phone holds the same signed record of who agreed, when, and to what. Pick up the coaster and it ends.
No coaster with you? One phone opens a room and the others scan to join. Same agreement, same receipt.
These are public events and rules, not our customers. We don't have customers yet. The lawsuits below are allegations that no court has decided, as far as we could find.
A 2025 class action says Otter's meeting bot recorded people who never agreed. Otter says its users are responsible for getting permission. That leaves the person across the table with no way to answer.
NPR, August 2025A 2026 suit followed reports that contractors reviewed footage from Meta's AI glasses, including private moments. Meta says it filters that data first. Everyone nearby is still left guessing what's being captured.
Fortune, March 2026A New York City Bar ethics opinion says lawyers should tell clients and get consent before AI records their calls, on every call unless the platform clearly shows it's recording.
NYC Bar Formal Opinion 2025-6The Reporters Committee counts about 11 US states that mainly require all parties to agree to a recording. The rules vary by state and by situation.
Reporters Committee recording guideMade up to show the idea. These are not real customers or results.
A client taps to allow AI notes, or leaves the coaster alone. The choice is theirs, made in the room, and it's on record either way.
One friend wears an AI recorder. The coaster stays untouched, so it's clear to everyone that tonight isn't being kept.
Four people, one table. Everyone taps, and each person's AI can keep notes from the same agreed meeting. Nobody had to raise it awkwardly.
That's the question we're trying to answer. A table, a room, a job, a family: tell us what you picture. We read every answer, and the people with the clearest need get the first ones.
