OLVA

OLVA is a bot-free real-time AI meeting assistant designed for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Webex, and in-person conversations. Instead of joining the call as a visible bot, OLVA runs privately on the user's device, capturing live transcripts and providing contextual assistance while the meeting is happening. It is available as a Windows desktop app with a companion mobile app for iOS and Android, and it is currently offered free of charge. OLVA's core features include live transcription, automatic question detection, in-meeting Q&A, live insights, coaching suggestions, multilingual transcription in 87 language and regional options, and live translation. The assistant can detect questions raised during a conversation and surface answers without requiring the user to type or search. It also generates live insights such as signals, risks, and follow-ups, and can turn completed meetings into structured, editable PowerPoint slide decks. Because OLVA does not join as a bot, it aims to preserve meeting naturalness and privacy while still giving participants a searchable meeting memory. Users can review transcripts, recaps, and follow-up questions from the mobile app after the meeting. The tool is positioned for professionals who want real-time meeting intelligence without changing their existing video conferencing workflow.
