Your meetings come to you now.
A desktop notification slides in before every call — who's joining, what it's about, and one click to join and record. Walk away during setup and it starts recording on its own the moment the room goes live.

You shouldn't have to remember to hit record. You shouldn't have to dig through your calendar to find the link. The meeting is starting — Chief should already be on it.
Now it is.
What happens now
Right before a meeting starts, a notification slides in on your desktop.
- See who's coming. Attendee avatars and first names, right on the card. You know the room before you walk into it.
- Read the brief. A short preview of what the meeting is about — context, not just a title.
- Join in one click. The Join button opens the call and starts recording in a single tap. No hunting for the link, no separate "start recording" step.
- Or just let it ride. A countdown ticks down. When the call actually goes live, Chief starts recording on its own — you don't have to touch anything.
- Not now? Hit the ✕. Dismiss the notification and nothing records. Simple.
It records when there's actually a meeting
The auto-record countdown is gated on a real signal: Chief only starts when it detects a live call. An empty calendar block that nobody joins won't burn a recording. The room has to be live.
And if you change your mind — discard a recording — the meeting doesn't vanish. It becomes eligible to notify you again. Reschedule the invite to a new time and the notification comes back at the new time, too.
Why this matters
The best recording is the one you never had to think about. Every step between "the meeting is starting" and "Chief is capturing it" is a step where you could forget, fumble the link, or just be too in-the-moment to bother.
We removed the steps. The notification finds you, shows you the room, and either joins on your click or starts itself when the call goes live. You show up. Chief handles the rest.
