# CogniCo

> CogniCo is a Russian AI-powered platform for meeting recording, automatic transcription, intelligent summarization, and protocol generation. It works without bots in conference calls – recordings happen locally via the CogniRec desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux). The service produces speaker-separated transcripts with timestamps, AI summaries, action items, and searchable archives of all past meetings. Freemium model with tiered subscription pricing starting at 0₽.

CogniCo serves individuals and teams who want to stop manually taking notes during meetings. The platform captures system audio (and optionally screen video), transcribes it with high accuracy for Russian speech, and automatically generates structured meeting protocols. All data is stored on servers in Russia (compliant with ФЗ-152/GDPR).
