Getting Started

How to use the app

  1. Open ConvoPilot and complete the first-run legal setup.
  2. Choose your legal region manually, or use location to suggest a region if you want help identifying it.
  3. This release uses on-device transcription. Speech assets may need to download before the first session.
  4. Start a session before the conversation begins.
  5. Watch the live transcript, mood timeline, highlights, and analysis cues during the conversation.
  6. Stop the session when finished. Summaries are only stored if you enabled saving in Settings.
  7. Use History to paste/import a conversation or explicitly record/import audio for later review. Saved recordings remain on device until deleted.
Permissions

What you may need to allow

  • Microphone: required for live transcription.
  • Speech recognition: required for Apple speech transcription.
  • Notifications: optional and only used for local analysis prompts when enabled.
  • Location: optional and only used to suggest a legal region if you request it.
Troubleshooting

Common issues

I started a session but do not see live transcription.

Check microphone and speech permissions first. Then confirm your current locale is supported for on-device transcription on the device you are using.

The transcript does not seem to include the other person on a call.

That can happen on iPhone. ConvoPilot is microphone-first and does not guarantee two-sided capture from Phone, FaceTime, Zoom, Bluetooth audio, or the earpiece path.

I see an on-device or cloud badge. What does it mean?

This release uses on-device transcription. Its cloud preference is off by default and warning-backed, but enabling that preference does not activate a cloud engine. An active future cloud mode would need to display a Cloud badge.

Can ConvoPilot give legal advice about recording a call?

No. The app provides general guidance only. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply where you and the other participants are located.

Are summaries or raw audio saved automatically?

Live session audio is not saved. Summaries and full transcripts are stored on device only if you enable saving. Audio you explicitly record or import in History is saved locally until you delete it.

Apple Intelligence or a downloaded model is unavailable.

Apple Intelligence depends on compatible hardware, supported language, and device settings. Built-in conversation signals and imported review guidance remain available without generated prose. Strong Local AI models require a supported physical device and an explicit download in Settings. Choose a smaller model if memory is limited.

What leaves the device during a model download or location suggestion?

Hugging Face and its delivery services receive model/file requests and connection metadata, such as your IP address. Conversation content is not included. Optional location help uses Apple Maps reverse geocoding; manual legal-region selection needs no location permission. See the privacy policy for details.

I see Settings Unavailable when the app opens.

Check that the device has available storage, then use Try Again. The retry preserves saved History and preferences; it does not reset your data.

Safety

Important reminders

Not medical advice

ConvoPilot provides low-risk conversational analysis cues and reflection prompts. It does not diagnose, treat, or monitor medical or mental health conditions.

Not for emergencies

If you are in crisis or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional in your area.
