About Hellodeck

Your team of one. An AI assistant at a dedicated email address, CC it on a thread, forward it a file, ask it to run a routine. No app, no plugin, no permissions. Free for 14 days. The more your assistant works alongside you, the more it learns to take off your plate. Her birthday is Friday, and the review is your last scheduled conversation before then. Your assistant learns your preferences, your priorities, and the people you work with as it goes.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
