# Ellis

> Ellis is an AI notetaker built for the meetings that happen in a room rather than on a call. Using nothing but an iPhone, it records the conversation, transcribes it, and pulls out the action items, so you can stay present instead of scribbling notes and still walk away with a clean record of what was decided. Most meeting AI has been built around video calls, where the audio is already piped through software. In-person conversations have been the awkward gap, usually requiring extra hardware or a laptop parked conspicuously on the table. Doing it from a phone in your pocket is a simpler answer, and a less intrusive one. It is aimed at non-technical professionals, the salespeople, consultants, and managers whose day is a string of face-to-face conversations. The real value is not the transcript itself but the follow-through, turning a hallway chat or a client lunch into tracked commitments without anyone having to remember to write them down.
