The AI capability covered today is Neo 1 by NeoSapien
Here is a pain point every busy professional recognises: you leave a meeting with three commitments, and by next morning half of it has evaporated because you were too busy nodding along to write it down.
Most AI notetakers only solve half this problem: Otter and Fireflies sit inside a video call and go blind once you step away from the screen, into a hallway chat, a client dinner, or a call on the move. On the other hand, Zoom’s AI notetaker, My Notes, captures insights from your conversations on Zoom, in-person, on mobile, and across third-party platforms, so you can focus on the discussion, not documentation.
Neo 1 removes that ceiling. It's a 20-gram pendant you wear, not an app you open, so it transcribes conversations wherever they happen, on or off screen, then pulls out to-dos and summaries automatically. Its 'infinite memory' lets you ask, weeks later, what was agreed, in any conversation, not just the ones on a video call. Neo 1 costs around ₹13,000 in India.
How to access: https://neosapien.ai/
Neo 1 can help you:
- Stay fully present: Listen and engage in meetings instead of splitting attention with note-taking
- Never chase context: Recall any past conversation on demand, weeks later
- Walk in prepared: Get automatic briefings from prior conversations
Example: A business unit head has back-to-back client calls all week and a board update due Friday.
- Wear and forget: Clip on the pendant; it captures meetings and calls, even offline
- Prompt the recall: Ask Neo AI chat, "What did I commit to in yesterday's vendor call?"
- Request the output: Say "Summarise this week's client meetings into a report"
- Specify structure: Add "group it by client, with action items listed separately"
- Add formatting cues: Ask for "a short bullet summary I can paste into my board update"
- Push it onward: Connect the memory to ChatGPT or Claude to draft follow-ups
What makes Neo 1 special?
- Memory as infrastructure: Less a note-taking app, more a persistent, queryable memory layer for work
- Works in 140+ languages: Handles multilingual conversations most English-first notetakers stumble on
- Homegrown and validated: India's first AI wearable, backed by Shark Tank India and $2 million in seed funding.
