NewFor your meetings

Listen. Take notes. Forget.

SAGA takes down your meetings and committee sessions, answers questions about them and drafts the minutes, with the source in the margin. You capture decisions with one click. And at the end, SAGA deletes what should not stay. Everything stays in house.

A meeting in three acts: the transcript shows what is said, with names and timestamps. One click on Decision captures the wording and the votes. From that the minutes are drafted, and their timestamp leads back to the spot in the transcript. At the end only the minutes remain; audio, transcript and questions are deleted.

Re-enacted with invented example meetings. The real interface is shown in the images further down.

Overview

One person writes the minutes.

Committees and meetings decide what applies: money, positions, projects. What applies ends up in the minutes. And they are usually written by one single person, while everyone else is talking.

Taking notes instead of taking part.

The person keeping the minutes listens, counts hands and writes down every decision word for word. Afterwards they sit down with it again, with their notes and their memory. And three days later someone asks for the exact wording.

The audio belongs in house.

Personnel matters, budgets, negotiations: meetings deal with confidential things. A recording that travels to someone else’s cloud is out of the question for many committees. For a works council, all the more so.

We thought: this has to be easier. Without a single word leaving the building.

A running recording in SAGA (German interface): at the top the 143rd Senate meeting at item 4, budget 2027, the running time with level meter and the buttons for decision, task, next item, end and pause. Below it the transcript paragraph by paragraph, with timestamps and the names of the speakers.

This is SAGA during a meeting: at the top the title, agenda item and recording, next to them the buttons for decision, task and next item. Below it, what is being said.

Example meeting, all people invented. Conversation and minutes texts were prepared for the recordings, the interface is real. The screenshots show the German interface.

In the meeting

You listen. SAGA takes notes.

While recording there is only one job: listening. Everything that controls the meeting sits in one line at the top. Below it, the transcript builds up, section by section.

01

Three steps to recording.

Which committee is meeting? Who is here? All set? You can prepare the agenda, documents and a word list, but none of it is required. And the level meter is the microphone test: if it moves, the microphone is listening.

The “All set?” step in SAGA (German interface): attendance 9 of 10, an agenda with 6 items, 3 documents, a word list with 5 terms, the microphone with a moving level meter, the switch for voice recognition in this meeting and optional short tests. Below it a note that none of this is required.
02

Paragraph by paragraph, with names.

One paragraph per change of speaker, the name above it, the timestamp in the margin. The meeting reads like a text, not like subtitles.

An excerpt from the transcript in SAGA (German interface): three paragraphs with timestamps and names, including the statement proposed by the chair and the reply from the minute-taker: “Yes, I have written it down.”
03

A decision: one click.

The decision sits in the transcript, exactly where it was made. When there is a moment, you add the wording and the votes. The draft minutes take it as a given.

A captured decision in the transcript (German interface): timestamp 00:42:34, the wording of the statement on the 2027 budget and below it the votes, 6 in favour, 1 against, 1 abstention.
04

Ask the meeting. With evidence.

“What does the budget mean for teaching contracts?” SAGA answers from what was said and from the meeting documents. Below the answer are timestamps: one click and you are at that spot in the transcript.

The questions column in SAGA (German interface): a question about the budget’s effect on teaching contracts has an answer from the meeting, followed by four timestamps that lead to the spots in the transcript.

Decisions are fixed exactly where they are made. And you are back in the conversation.

The recording comes along.

Mid-meeting, someone asks what was said about it in August. You go to the meeting list and search, while the recording keeps running at the top: running time, level, title. The search covers minutes and transcripts. One click on the recording and you are back in the meeting.

The meeting list in SAGA during a running recording (German interface): at the top the recording indicator with running time and title, below it a search with three hits from the minutes and transcripts of earlier meetings.
Look things up without stopping: the recording runs at the top, below are the hits from earlier minutes and transcripts.
The read-along view for the projector (German interface): large, calm text with timestamps, the votes on a decision and the divider to the next agenda item, without buttons.
The whole room reads along. On the projector, SAGA shows what is being captured: large, calm, without buttons. So everyone in the room can see which wording has just been decided.
After the meeting

One click. Then the minutes take shape.

After the meeting you review what is still open in one pass. Then the minutes come together item by item: header, attendees, agenda, decisions with votes, tasks. Not a block of text but a document.

Review: one pass, one click per spot.

In order.

SAGA walks through the open points in order: attendance, speakers, word suggestions. The suggestion is already open at the word.

One click per spot.

A word split in two becomes one again: one click on “accept all 4” and every spot is corrected. If the suggestion does not fit, you reject it or write your own correction.

Nothing changes silently.

SAGA suggests, you decide. The transcript only changes where you accept a change.

Reviewing in SAGA, step 3 of 6 (German interface): at a word the recognition split in two, the suggested correction applies to 4 places, with the buttons reject, own correction, accept here only and accept all 4.
Draft minutes in SAGA (German interface): the minutes of decisions with header data, attendees and agenda items, decisions with votes and timestamps as sources in the margin. On the right the chat with the modes revise and ask.

What comes out is a document. SAGA fills in the date, start time and place itself, from the meeting data. You edit any paragraph right where you read it.

The source of a decision in SAGA (German interface): timestamp 00:13:40, the transcript line before it with the speaker’s name, the decision with its wording and the votes 9 in favour, 0 against, 0 abstentions, and a link to show it in the transcript.

Every timestamp leads to a real spot.

The margin shows where a paragraph comes from. One click shows the spot in the transcript: who said it, and for a decision the votes. SAGA checks every one of these timestamps against the transcript. Whatever is not there gets dropped.

A paragraph without a valid timestamp stands without a source. Better no source than an invented one.

Revise in conversation.

“Make item 3 shorter.” The chat next to the minutes proposes the change. Only what you accept goes into the minutes.

The committee’s memory.

SAGA brings in the committee’s earlier minutes by itself; documents such as the rules of procedure you file once with the committee. Chat and draft refer to them, with a link.

Ready for the files.

Once approved, the minutes can no longer be changed. Export as PDF, Word or Markdown, with a header and template per committee.

Speakers

Better to name nobody than the wrong person.

SAGA hears when a new voice speaks. It still does not guess a name: only someone a person has named or confirmed goes into the minutes as a speaker.

Who is speaking here?

One click on the unknown speaker shows the sentence and everyone present. Assign once, and every paragraph from that voice carries the name. Guests get their own.

New voices are asked about.

When a voice without a name speaks, SAGA asks once by itself. Or later, if there is no time right now.

The “Who is speaking here?” card in SAGA (German interface): a new voice has been speaking since 00:45:33, its first sentence is quoted, below it the names of everyone present to tap and a button for later.

Voice profiles: only with consent.

Some committees want SAGA to recognise their members by voice. That is what voice profiles are for, and strict rules apply to them.

  • Only with signed consent, for each person and each committee.
  • What is stored is 192 numbers, no audio. The enrolment recording is deleted straight afterwards.
  • The whole thing is switched off by default. It is switched on per meeting, after everyone present has been informed.
  • Anyone who no longer wants it withdraws. Immediately, for all committees, with a deletion report for the files.
The voice profile window in SAGA (German interface): the signed consent is ticked, below it the note that consent can be withdrawn at any time without disadvantage and the profile is then deleted immediately, and a button to start enrolment.
Confidential

Confidential. Really.

With anything that listens, the first question is: where does the audio actually go? And who reads along? With SAGA the answer is short.

  • No cloud.
  • No telemetry.
  • No emails.

Recording happens in the browser of the device in the room. Recognition, answers and minutes are produced on a computer that stands in your building. No web search, no external AI service.

Operating data: yes. Content: never.

SAGA, too, records what happens in operation: numbers, counters, states. But never what was said. Never a question to the meeting. Never a sentence from the minutes.

Applies to SAGA itself. Making sure the service that writes answers and minutes does not log requests either is part of setting up operations.

What stays?

At the end you decide what remains of a meeting. SAGA deletes the audio in every case, even when archiving.

Archive
Transcript without speakers, minutes, agenda, attendance and markers remain. Audio, chat and meeting documents are deleted.
Close and delete
Only the minutes and the header data of the meeting remain.
A closed and deleted meeting in SAGA (German interface): on the left the approved minutes, on the right the deletion report listing what was deleted, including audio, transcript, chat history, documents and speaker assignment. Minutes and header data remain.

This is a meeting after closing: the approved minutes and, on the right, the deletion report. It counts what was deleted, when and by whom. It contains no content itself.

Deleted means deleted. With a report.

No recycle bin. No recovery.

Deleted means: files and database rows removed. Remnants on the storage medium remain until they are overwritten. SAGA cannot reach exports.

With LOKI

Built on LOKI’s technology. Found by LOKI.

SAGA builds on LOKI’s local speech recognition and on LOKI’s connection to local language models. And what SAGA records does not disappear into a drawer: you save the approved minutes as Word or PDF where LOKI reads. Months later LOKI finds the decision, with the exact source.

Platform

IGNAITE is the platform.

LOKI for your knowledge. MINERVA for your machines. HEIMDALL for the safe path to the cloud. SAGA for your meetings. Each product runs on its own. Together they are one system: LOKI, MINERVA and HEIMDALL share one machine, one login, one role model, one audit log and one works agreement. Every application inherits what is already in place. SAGA brings LOKI’s technology into the meeting room.

SAGA builds on LOKI’s local speech recognition and model connection. And once the approved minutes sit where LOKI reads, LOKI finds the decision again, with its source.

Listen. Take notes. Forget what should be forgotten.

Next step

Request SAGA.

30 minutes are enough for a first assessment: which meetings you keep minutes for, who writes them today and what should remain of them.

SAGA runs on your hardware, without the cloud. Voice profiles are switched off by default and can only be used with written consent. Answers and drafts can contain mistakes: what goes into the minutes is what you accept and approve. All images show invented example meetings in the German interface.
