Most AI tools create summaries after your meeting ends. GeekBye works live - answering questions as they’re asked and giving you talking points during the conversation. Like having an expert whispering in your ear.

Troubleshooting

GeekBye appears in my screen share. What should I check?

Run a test share and review the Detectable control in the main window. If you just granted Screen Recording on macOS, quit and reopen GeekBye.

Listen is not transcribing anything.

Check microphone permission, the selected input device, and your network connection.

The screenshot shortcut does nothing.

On macOS, verify Screen Recording permission and restart GeekBye. If another app owns the shortcut, choose a different preset in Settings.

Do I need to repeat setup before every interview?

No. Before a call, open GeekBye, make a quick audio check, and use the same dry-run setup that worked for you.
