Meridian · Voice AI chief of staff

A chief of staff that asks before it writes.

Meridian keeps your mission, goals and decisions in one system, talks through your day with you, and changes nothing without your explicit yes.

Waiting

Demo: a scripted exchange, no microphone used

The loop

You say it. It understands, shows, proposes. You confirm.

  1. 01

    Say

    Hold the button and talk. There’s no wake word, so in a meeting it simply isn’t listening.

  2. 02

    Understand

    The core thinks while the agent reads what it needs from your records.

  3. 03

    Show

    The answer is spoken, and the right card appears: cash flow, sprint, goals.

  4. 04

    Propose

    If something should be recorded, you see exactly what changes — before and after.

  5. 05

    Confirm

    Yes applies it. No — or silence — declines it.

Design

Light, glass, rubber. Never mixed.

Three material rules keep a serious tool from looking cheap. Every screen is checked against them.

Light

Comes only from the core

No card glows on its own. Only what comes from the assistant is lit: a proposed write, an active step, the talk button. Your data stays matte.

Glass

Only for the system layer

Translucent, blurred panels live where the interface floats above everything: navigation, confirmations, subtitles. Data sits on solid slabs.

Rubber

Only what you press

A bevel on top, a shadow below, a 2 px press. Everything that isn’t a control stays flat.

Confirmation gate

Silence is a no.

Speech recognition can mishear and an agent can misunderstand. So every change to your records arrives as a before-and-after with a timer — and when the timer runs out, the change is declined.

Waiting for your answer

Demo timer: 10 s · in the app: 30 s

  • Show the change, not the intent

    Not “write to the dashboard?” but the exact text: what it was and what it becomes.

  • One confirmation at a time

    A queue of dialogs would blur what you’re saying yes to.

  • The rule survives shortcuts

    A write triggered from a notification or a system assistant still comes back for confirmation.

Daily model

One critical outcome a day.

Meridian follows a strict model of the day: one critical outcome, two or three supporting tasks, and a deliberate list of what not to do today. A longer list is a warning sign, not a plan.

Status is color, shape and word — always together

No invented numbers

If the records don’t hold a figure, Meridian shows a dash and hatching instead of a guess. On a dashboard for decisions, a made-up number is worse than an empty space.

Reviews

Reviews that are told, not scrolled.

The morning briefing and the weekly review play like a short narrated film. The agent directs the scenes, and each card flies out of the core exactly while it’s being discussed.

A scene without data isn’t padded with filler — it turns into a checklist of what’s missing.

Journal

An audit trail, not a chat.

Every entry records four facts, so you can always see how an answer was reached.

Privacy as an answer, not a policy

Settings say plainly what is stored, what isn’t, and how to take everything with you.

Platforms

On your second monitor. In your pocket.

In use

  • Weekly and monthly reviews with narrated scenes
  • Runs for days as a kiosk, with an honest freshness indicator
In development
