Show HN: Parrot – Open-Source Smart Meeting Recorder with Co-Pilot on Mac

https://openparrot.app
8•turantekin•2h ago
Hello Hacker News

I am Uygar, I am an entrepreneur from London. I run my businesses on calls everyday, customers, partners and suppliers. And i have a horrible memory i forgot things. So months ago with the help of Claude i have built Parrot. I have designed and coded for my work and what i need. An to be honest worked very well and helped me alot.

Parrot records what your mac hears and everything stays in your computer if you use local models, no account, no API calls. There is something called copilot which made my life easier, you can upload your files and when parrot hears that question on the screen recommends the answer. Which i believe very handy.

If you want to make it smarter and dont mind cloud you can hook up your Claude API and Deepgram account, that gives super powers to Parrot. You still keep it locally but eventually you need to make API calls.

So local or cloud totally up to you.

Then after months of thinking i have decided share it as open source and this is my first open source project, so please go easy on me :)

No account, no membership, open source and free.

Code: https://github.com/turantekin/Parrot

This project made me so excited and really would like to share with you guys so i hope can help you too. Again, i am new so go easy on me and if you have any feedback i would like to hear.

Thank you Uygar

instead of calling it "co-pilot" maybe call it something like "Coach", Assistant, or anything that doesn't connect it to Copilot from Microsoft b/c that's what I thought it meant

I agree, 'copilot' is overloaded even within the Microsoft portfolio.
