The OpenBlock Assistant sits quietly on your desktop. It records the conversation, writes the notes — TL;DR, decisions, action items — drafts your follow-up email, and files what it learned into a Brain that briefs you before the next call. No bot joins your meeting. Nothing is ever sent without you.
$7.99/mo · Early-access pricing · Built for Microsoft 365 · Gmail coming
How it works
One desktop app, four things you never have to do again.
Hit record on your desktop. It captures your mic and the other side of the call — Teams, Meet, Zoom, or phone. No bot joins.
Minutes after you hang up: the full transcript, plus clean notes — TL;DR, key points, decisions, and action items.
One click drops a personalized follow-up into your Outlook Drafts — addressed, written from what was actually said. You hit send.
The Brain files away who said what — people, projects, and topics — so you open every future call already caught up.
See it work
One real meeting's journey — recording to Outlook-ready draft to updated Brain — compressed into thirty seconds.
Mock data shown. Your meetings stay yours — see how we handle them.
The assistant, up close
Recruiters, founders, consultants, account managers — anyone whose day is a stack of conversations they're supposed to remember.
The recorder
Notetaker bots change a meeting the second they appear in the participant list. OpenBlock records from your desktop instead — your microphone plus the other side's audio — so the conversation stays a conversation. Works with Teams, Meet, Zoom, or any call your computer can hear.
AI meeting notes
Every recording becomes clean, structured notes — a two-sentence TL;DR, the key points, the decisions that got made, and who owes what by when. Your own typed notes are folded in too, so nothing you flagged mid-call gets lost.
Northwind moved the Staff Platform Engineer offer target up to Aug 1. Band confirmed at $185–210k + 15% bonus. Two more profiles due Thursday; CTO intro next week.
Generated from the transcript — plus the notes you typed during the call.
…the comp band we discussed still holds — one eighty-five to two-ten base, fifteen percent bonus…
…her expectations sit right inside the comp band at one-ninety, assuming the bonus holds…
…if the comp band moves down we lose two of the three finalists…
Transcripts & search
The full transcript lands minutes after you hang up. Six weeks later, when someone asks "what did they say about comp?" — you search, and the exact quote is right there, across every meeting you've ever recorded.
Follow-up drafts
One click turns the transcript into a personalized follow-up — the recap, the commitments, the next steps — saved straight into your Outlook Drafts folder, already addressed to your contact. OpenBlock structurally cannot send email. The send button stays yours, in your inbox, forever.
Great speaking today — next steps for the Staff Platform Engineer role
Hi Sarah, Thanks for the time this morning — great to hear where the platform team is headed. Recapping what we agreed: • Offer target moved up to August 1 • Band confirmed at $185–210k base + 15% bonus • I'll send two more profiles by Thursday I'll get the CTO intro on the calendar for next week. Best, Jordan
Saves into your connected Outlook Drafts, addressed to the meeting's contact. Review and send from Outlook — OpenBlock can't and won't send email for you.
New · The Brain
Every meeting teaches the Brain something. It keeps a living page for every person, project, and topic in your world — what they care about, what was promised, where things stand — so you open every call already caught up.
Update Sarah Chen — offer timeline moved up to Aug 1

An assistant only works if you can trust it in the room. These aren't policies — they're how the product is built.
The assistant writes drafts. It has no send permission and no send code path — sending email as you is structurally impossible, not just disabled.
Interpretive changes to your Brain — a merged contact, a dollar figure, a decision — wait in a queue for your approve or reject. Nothing lands silently.
Recording happens on your desktop, from your machine's audio. Nobody named "Notetaker" ever joins your call or shows up in the participant list.
Remove a single Brain page, wipe synced email context, or disconnect entirely — each level is independent. Raw synced email auto-deletes after 30 days regardless.
Pricing
OpenBlock scheduling is free forever — that doesn't change. The Assistant is $7.99 a month: about one cup of coffee, and every meeting takes its own notes, writes its own follow-up, and never forgets a name.
No credit card. No per-seat tax. No catch.
About one coffee a month · Early-access pricing
Founding members lock in the $7.99/mo rate for good.
No — and it never will. The Assistant records from your desktop app, capturing your microphone and your computer's audio. Nothing joins the call, nothing appears in the participant list, and the other side experiences a completely normal meeting.
No. The Assistant creates drafts in your Outlook Drafts folder using a permission that structurally cannot send mail. There is no send button in OpenBlock and no code path that could send — you review and send every message from your own inbox.
Your Microsoft 365 sign-in for calendar and drafts, plus an optional read-only email sync that gives the Brain context about your relationships. Raw synced email auto-deletes after 30 days; the Brain pages built from it stay under your control and can be deleted individually at any time.
The desktop recorder runs on Windows and macOS, and works with Teams, Meet, Zoom, phone calls — anything your computer can hear. Your transcripts, recaps, drafts, and Brain are also available in the OpenBlock web app from any browser.
The Assistant is built Microsoft-365-first today — follow-up drafts save into Outlook. Gmail support (drafts saved to your Gmail Drafts, same review-and-send flow) is planned for public launch.
$7.99 a month — about the price of one cup of coffee. Join now during early access and you lock in that founding rate for good. Cancel anytime; your scheduler and your data stay.
Yes — free forever, full stop. The Assistant is an optional add-on. If you never turn it on, nothing about OpenBlock changes for you.
