A closer look at Shadow
Shadow is the AI meeting assistant built for AI agents that captures what is said and shown in every call on its own, with nothing to click and no bot in the call. Every meeting is saved on the Mac as Markdown the user owns, ready for Obsidian and AI agents, and between calls a shortcut puts Shadow to work on screen with voice typing and quick replies, auto-starting and ending with meetings.
