Weaver - AI notetaker that keeps cross-call context via knowledge graph
Weaver is a notetaker app built on an AI companion backend the developer originally made for friends and family. It uses vector embeddings and a knowledge graph so meeting notes retain cross-call context, unlike tools such as Loop, Fireflies, or Plaud where notes exist in isolation. It targets people who want useful, persistent meeting knowledge rather than one-off transcripts.
