From the launch
“AI meeting assistant” has become synonymous with a note-taker waiting to summarize at the end. That's not a meeting assistant. That's a fancier transcript. Building a real-time AI meeting copilot is hard in two distinct ways. The invisible assistant must understand the live meeting context at blazing speed and surface the right thing at the right moment – questions to ask, things you're missing, who you're talking to. Timing is everything. Current AI is purely reactive. The active participant is harder. AI has no social awareness – every pause becomes a prompt, every gap an invitation to speak. AI that is socially aware and proactive is an unsolved problem. That's what we're building. Fern is a real-time AI that joins your meetings as either an invisible copilot or an active participant - your choice! It real time proactively coach you through every conversation so you always show up like a top 1% professional.
