Objection Digest Prompt · Tom Perez
what it does: -Reads the latest meeting transcript and produces an objection digest you can paste into notes. -It captures each objection with speaker, a short quote, category, severity, next step, owner, and status, merges near duplicates, and finishes with top blockers and quick mitigations. -Time and Due date lines appear only when the transcript provides a timestamp or a stated date. -No user input is needed and the output uses only transcript content. The output I posted its from a test conversation.
Create an objection digest from the latest transcript segment provided by the system. Capture every objection or concern that could block progress. Use only the words in the transcript. Do not invent facts. Do not ask questions. No links or brand names. Start with one line that…

Hedy is a real-time AI conversation coach. It listens during your meetings, sales calls, interviews, and medical appointments, then gives you suggestions and answers while the conversation is still happening, not after it's over. Most tools record and summarize. Hedy helps you in the moment.
Now you can run Hedy's entire AI on your own hardware. Turn on Local AI and your summaries, notes, live suggestions, and chat all happen on your device. Nothing goes to a server for processing.
Where Local AI runs:
Mac (Apple Silicon): GPU acceleration and every model size
Windows: capable GPUs, with CPU fallback for the rest
iPhone 15 Pro and newer, plus M-series iPads: the compact models
Local AI is opt-in and off by default. Speech recognition has run on-device since day one, and audio recordings stay on your machine. This extends that privacy to the rest of the pipeline for anyone who wants it. Cloud AI stays available too, and it's still faster and handles longer, more complex conversations better.
Hedy can now run AI entirely on your machine: Audio, transcription, summaries, chat, and real-time AI suggestions all happen end-to-end on-device, with no conversation data sent to the cloud. That's rare in this category. Most AI meeting tools send your audio and transcripts to cloud APIs for analysis. Hedy now allows you to process everything locally.
This opens up conversations that were previously off-limits to AI tooling. Legal strategy. Confidential board meetings. M&A discussions. Client-privileged work. Any conversation where "it stays on your computer" is the only acceptable answer.
Local AI is available now on macOS and Windows, with mobile support coming soon. Pick from 11 on-device language models to match your hardware. Works fully offline. No cloud dependency, no API costs.
Refreshed interface with Hedy 3: A new look across every device. Polished session cards, refined dark mode, and three desktop layout presets (Balanced, Chat Focus, Chat Only) so you can match the interface to your workflow. Mobile got the same visual treatment for a consistent experience throughout.
OMI wearable integration: Stream transcripts from your OMI device directly into Hedy sessions.
Hedy is an AI meeting coach that provides proactive suggestions in real time during your conversations, not summaries after the fact. Available on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and web. 30+ conversation languages.Project contentHedy AI BusinessCreated by youNewsletter: Version 3.140 linestextIn App Version Update JSON Example48 linestextNewsletter: Version 3.039 linestextContentappcast.xmlxml
EU Data Hosting and AI Analysis
Your conversations and AI analysis can now stay in Europe. Users can choose to have all session data (transcripts, summaries, and AI-generated insights) processed and stored on European servers. No conversation data crosses the Atlantic. You can chose where you want your conversations hosted during account sign-up.
New Session Types: Negotiation & Spiritual Teaching
Two new specialized coaching modes. Negotiation helps you during and after high-stakes conversations with tailored prompts and analysis. Spiritual Teaching adapts Hedy for reflective, teaching-oriented sessions with narrative-style notes and summaries.
Personalized AI Coaching
Hedy now learns about you during onboarding. Answer a few questions about your role, your goals, and the challenges you face and Hedy generates your first personalized coaching profile. Better context means sharper, more relevant insights from day one.
Apple Watch Companion App
Your AI meeting assistant, now on your wrist. Control sessions with a glance—a red dot means you're recording, orange when paused, gray when idle. Pause during a break, resume when you're back, or stop the session entirely.
The real power? Discretion. AI coaching tips arrive directly on your watch face during meetings. Checking your watch looks natural—checking your phone doesn't. Capture highlights with a single tap, as subtle as adjusting your watch band.
The Smart Stack widget surfaces session status and coaching tips automatically. Voice control via Siri lets you say "Start a meeting with Hedy" or "Stop Hedy session" without touching anything.
Requires iPhone with Hedy app nearby for audio capture and processing.
Comprehensive Data Export
Your meeting data belongs to you. Export sessions, topics, highlights, and action items in Markdown (human-readable), CSV (spreadsheet-ready), or JSON (complete data).
Multi-file exports bundle everything into organized ZIP archives by topic—perfect for archiving or migrating to other tools.
Cloud AI Privacy Kill Switch
New toggle gives you complete control over cloud processing. Disable it, and Hedy continues transcribing locally while sending zero data to cloud AI services.
Existing AI-generated insights are preserved. For users in regulated industries or anyone who wants transcription without cloud dependencies.
Happy New Year! December was a productive month for Hedy, with several updates that make your meeting experience smoother and more hands-free. Here's what we shipped:
🎙️ Siri Shortcuts: Hands-Free Session Control
You can now start and stop Hedy sessions using Siri on iOS and Mac. Say "Hey Siri, start my Hedy session" before walking into a meeting, or stop recording without reaching for your device. Perfect for when your hands are full or you want to stay focused on the conversation.
⏸️ Inactivity Auto-Pause
Long gaps in conversation? Hedy can now automatically pause your session when no speech is detected, then resume when talking starts again. This keeps your transcripts clean and saves your recording time for actual discussion. Enable this in your meeting settings.
🎯 Smart Session Type Defaults
Topics now remember your preferred session type. If your "Client Calls" topic always uses Coaching mode, Hedy defaults to that automatically when you start a new session in that topic. One less thing to configure every time.
🗓️ Date-Aware AI
Hedy now understands temporal context in your conversations. Ask about "last week's discussion" or "what we decided yesterday" and Hedy knows what timeframe you mean. This makes post-session chat and cross-session queries more accurate.
🌍 New Languages
We added Farsi and Sinhala for AI chat interactions, continuing our expansion to serve professionals worldwide.
✨ Additional Improvements
- Live Activity toggle for iOS (show/hide the lock screen indicator)
- Desktop update notifications in the sidebar
- Redesigned onboarding flow with streamlined sign-up
- Audio-only YouTube import option
- Various bug fixes for audio capture, topic invitations, and session stability
🔮 What's Coming in 2026
We're heads-down on several major initiatives:
- Hedy 3.0 — A complete redesign of the application interface
Apple Watch Companion App — Start sessions and view insights from your wrist - Google Calendar Integration — Automatic context loading based on your schedule
- Plus many other features from your requests on our feature board
Start every meeting already prepared. Introducing Topic Prep Notes & More
Ever walked into a follow-up meeting and struggled to remember what you discussed last time? Or realized mid-conversation that you forgot a key commitment from the previous session?
Hedy's new features ensure you're always prepared and supported throughout your entire meeting.
With today's update, Hedy delivers three features that professionals have been requesting:
✅ Topic Prep Notes
Get AI-generated briefing notes before your meeting based on all previous conversations in that topic. See what was discussed, what's still pending, and what questions need answers.
✅ Extended Automatic Suggestions (Pro)
Real-time AI coaching now runs for the first 60 minutes instead of 30. That covers most business meetings completely—giving you intelligent prompts for questions to ask and opportunities to explore, all appearing automatically.
✅ Trust Center
Access GDPR compliance documentation, data processing agreements, and security measures. Finally, the formal documentation that European businesses and regulated industries require.
How It Works:
-
At the start of your meeting: Hedy updates you with AI-generated prep notes covering important information
-
During your meeting: Receive automatic suggestions for the first 60 minutes (Pro users)
-
Stay organized: Track commitments, patterns, and progress across all your conversations
Available Now:
Update to Hedy 2.11.4 on iOS, macOS, Android, or Windows to access these new features. Pro features require a subscription ($9.99/month or $69.99/year).

✅ Key Patterns: Identify recurring themes and important trends across all your topic-related conversations
✅ Action Items: Never lose track of commitments made across multiple meetings
✅ Quick Context: Get instantly briefed on past discussions before your next meeting

Imported reviews 3
Was skeptical about another voice assistant but tried it during my workouts and it actually keeps up with my pace. Feels less like an app and more like having someone in your corner. Wish it had better form correction but for motivation it's been great.
Game changer for patient consultations. Whispers relevant info during appointments so I don't have to break flow looking things up. My patients have noticed I'm more present now.
Its a promising project and works well so far. Wishing them all the best and godspeed.
