Optional assistant automation

Ask your assistant.
Harbor records.

Connect a supported assistant to Harbor’s restricted local control bridge. It can prepare, start, pause, resume, and stop an approved meeting recording while Harbor captures the audio and creates the transcript and notes on your Mac.

The assistant controls the workflow—not your content. It cannot read recordings, audio, transcripts, summaries, notes, participant names, calendar titles, or your Harbor library.

AudioOriginal recording TranscriptSearchable text NotesSummary and actions
01

Prepare Harbor

In Harbor Settings, choose your library and allow Microphone, Screen & System Audio, and optional Calendar access. Turn on meeting preparation for the series you want.

02

Pair your assistant

Open Settings > Autopilot and choose Pair Integration. Use Harbor’s OpenClaw or Hermes integration package, or connect a desktop assistant that supports a local stdio MCP server.

03

Give one clear instruction

Ask the assistant to use Harbor for the upcoming meeting. Harbor issues the valid meeting and action identifiers; the assistant does not guess them.

04

Confirm, then meet

You provide any required notice or consent. Harbor records the selected meeting app and your microphone, then saves the audio, transcript, and notes to your library.

Example instruction

“Hermes, use Harbor to prepare my next Zoom meeting. Ask me to confirm consent before recording, start when Harbor says it is ready, stop at the scheduled end, and tell me when Harbor has saved the recording.”

Compatibility: OpenClaw and Hermes use Harbor’s dedicated, separately installed integration packages. ChatGPT, Google Spark, Claude, and other assistants require a desktop configuration that can run Harbor’s local stdio MCP helper; availability and setup vary by assistant. Harbor also supports manual capture and its own local meeting scheduler without any external assistant.

Desktop library

Your Harbor library,
with room to think.

Browse, search, play, and review with notes, transcripts, and speakers in one place.

Review and correct

AI drafts.
You stay in control.

Listen beside the text, review speaker labels, and correct the summary when your context matters more than a model guess.

  • Evidence-based speaker suggestions
  • Editable transcript and notes
  • Original audio always close at hand

Visual evidence

Notes that can
show their work.

Harbor uses local OCR, nearby transcript evidence, and the moments you mark to find useful frames. Decisions and actions can stay connected to the words and visuals that support them.

Synchronized review

Replay in context.
Export when you choose.

Watch the screen recording with Harbor’s canonical audio, then seek from transcript timestamps, decisions, actions, anchors, or visual cues. When you need one shareable file, export a combined movie as an explicit action.

Control every stage

Finish what needs work.
Keep what already worked.

Retry only the stage that needs attention, or use Process Remaining to continue unfinished work in order without discarding completed artifacts.

Recovery and durability

A failed step should
not cost the recording.

If something goes wrong, Harbor keeps the original audio safe and makes the next useful step visible.

Original audio is preserved

Your recording is not overwritten or discarded when a later step fails.

Issues surface clearly

Needs Attention shows what happened and where review is useful.

Retry without starting over

Resume unfinished work while completed stages and saved audio stay in place.

Work with the recording package

Open the folder.
There it is.

Every recording creates a durable package you can reveal, copy, and share on your terms.

You control the library

Harbor works with the recording folder you choose. The original audio and authoritative record remain yours.

03

You control the handoff

When Harbor prepares notes or audio for an assistant, you decide what to paste or share.
