1. It always clearly identifies itself by name in the participant list (e.g., "Nomi.so Notetaker" or "Nomi.so [Host's custom name]'s Notetaker") so everyone can see it's present.
2. It also posts a message in the chat at the start, informing all participants that it's there to take notes and that the call is being recorded/transcribed.
If you're the host initiating Nomi, for instance through our desktop app integration, there's an additional step: you're required to explicitly confirm that all participants have consented before Nomi will join and start recording.
These in-meeting notifications and host confirmations are designed to ensure transparency. We're primarily focused on use cases, especially with enterprise clients, where trust and ethical recording practices are mandatory to make a deal. We have a strict policy against any covert use and have taken action, including banning accounts, when misuse is identified.

And in-car navigation systems make you promise to never touch the screen while you're driving the car on the road.
I can understand if there are legal reasons to inform, or if there is concern about the call data leaving local.
However, if the model was run locally, I do not think a product like this should need to notify that it is running.
There is nuance around whether an actual recording of the call would be stored. For example, keeping a copy without notifying the other party creates an unexpected risk if there was a data leak.
But otherwise this kind of behavior will become no different from a noise reduction filter passing over the audio channel.
It is simply augmented reality intended to assist in humans relating to one another.
