Use case · Internal Meetings
For team standups, 1:1s, retros, and the meetings that decide things.
Bonfiyah captures the recording, transcribes it on-device, and pulls out the decisions, action items, and follow-ups that usually get lost between the meeting ending and someone's memory failing.
Why not a meeting bot
Meeting bots — Otter, Fireflies, Read, Granola — work fine for video calls. They're terrible for in-person meetings, hallway conversations, and the standup-after-the-standup where the actual decisions get made. Bonfiyah is iPhone-native — pull the phone out, hit record, the meeting is captured.
For Zoom/Teams calls, you can either run Bonfiyah on your iPhone (with the Mac handling the call) or use Bonfiyah's Mac Catalyst version with the system audio captured. No bot in the meeting, no "Otter is recording" disclaimer, no participant list email.
What gets pulled out
Pro AI's Action Items extract every task with owner + deadline from the transcript ("Sarah will own the Q4 deck by Friday"). Story Mode (Pro AI) gives you a 3-paragraph narrative recap to send to anyone who couldn't attend. Promise Tracker turns commitments into tracked cards that follow up automatically.
For recurring meetings, Pre-Brief (Pro AI) reads your calendar and 30 minutes before each meeting hands you the recap from the last one — what was open, what you'd agreed to, what you should ask about. End the standup-the-day-before-the-standup loop.
Privacy considerations for internal use
Every team has different policies on internal recording. Bonfiyah's on-device recording means the audio never leaves your phone unless you turn on iCloud sync. The consent module logs verbal acknowledgement when other people are in the room — useful both legally and as a basic professional courtesy.
If your company has a "no recording without consent" policy, Bonfiyah's consent module surfaces that requirement before you press record. If your company has a "no recording, period" policy, this isn't the tool for you in those meetings.
