Assist
Product Hunt Hariharasudhan Giridharan
Assist just launched on Product Hunt: a MacBook-notch meeting assistant that listens and suggests what to say. Its pitch is privacy first — it can run fully on your Mac and stay off screen share.

Assist is a new meeting tool on Product Hunt, and it wants to be the kind of helper that sits quietly in the corner while the call goes on. The product lives in a MacBook’s notch, listens to the meeting, and offers suggestions on what to say next.
The company is leaning hard on privacy and discretion. Assist is described as a personal, secure meeting assistant, and it can run 100% on your Mac. It is also designed to stay invisible during screen sharing, which is a small detail that says a lot about who this is for: people who want help without making the help obvious.
This is an AI notetaker, but the pitch is less about transcription and more about real-time support. Instead of turning the meeting into a document after the fact, Assist tries to be present while the conversation is still happening. Product Hunt has it tagged under Productivity, Meetings, and Artificial Intelligence, which is about as on-the-nose as launch tags get.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of AI product: useful, narrow, and not trying to become your entire calendar’s spiritual adviser. The best sign is the “invisible on screen share” bit, because that means someone thought about how real people actually use tools when they’re trying not to look like they’re using tools. Not every AI launch needs a giant manifesto and a chrome-plated future. Sometimes a quiet assistant in the notch is enough.
