Show HN: Bearbits, an AI Copilot for Real-Time Meeting Assistance

Summary

Bearbits is a browser-based AI copilot designed to assist during meetings rather than only summarize them afterward. Its creator wanted real-time visibility into what participants were saying regardless of the language, including meetings where speakers switch languages. The app translates the conversation into the user’s language as it happens and suggests possible responses grounded in web search instead of relying only on the model’s generated knowledge. Bearbits uses Soniox for transcription and Exa.ai for web search. It runs in the browser and does not join meetings as a bot. The creator is seeking feedback on whether this kind of real-time assistance is useful or distracting.
