You need three things: the app, whatever your operating system asks you to grant, and a call. This page gets you through all three. Target time to your first answer is under five minutes.
Sayli ships on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open it, then sign in with Google, Apple, or a six-digit code emailed to you.
Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, 64-bit or ARM. Run the installer. About 200 MB of disk and a working microphone.
macOS 13 Ventura and later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Drag Sayli into your Applications folder. About 200 MB of disk and a working microphone.
64-bit, AppImage or .deb. On a Wayland desktop it runs through
XWayland. Install a desktop keyring
(gnome-keyring or kwallet) so Sayli can keep you signed in between
launches.
On first launch, Sayli walks you through the permissions your operating system actually requires, one at a time, previewing each dialog first.
Your voice, so Sayli can tell you apart from the other person. On Windows this is a privacy switch rather than a prompt. On Linux there is no gate at all.
The other side of the call. macOS 14.2 and later asks for "System Audio Recording Only"; macOS 13.0 to 14.1 asks for Screen Recording instead. Windows and Linux need nothing.
For Read my screen. macOS 14.2 and later asks for Screen Recording and a restart, so Sayli asks during setup rather than mid-call. Windows and Linux need nothing.
Without it, Sayli cannot start a call at all. Grant it now. Every permission is reviewable later in Settings, and the exact per-platform picture is in Permissions & setup.
Open any call: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, or a browser tab, then start Sayli. Out of the box it does not start recording on its own: when it notices a meeting app using your microphone, it offers, and you tap once. You can turn on auto-start from your calendar later. The words then begin to stream in on Sayli's side.
When you want help, press ⌥+↵ from any app, or type your question and press ⌘+↵. The answer streams in as it is written. Press ⌘+B to mark a moment you want to revisit, and ⌘+\ to fold the pane away or bring it back. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl for ⌘ and Alt for ⌥.
From your call on 3 March
Ask in your own words. The answer arrives grounded in what was just said.
When the call ends, Sayli writes the brief in a few seconds: a one-line headline, a summary, your to-dos with owners, and a follow-up email drafted for you. Find it in Meetings.
What to do next
A closer walk through that first session, with the moves worth knowing.
Connect your calendarLet Sayli see what is coming up, and start itself when a call begins.
Build your Knowledge BaseGive Sayli your docs so its answers cite your facts, not the internet's.
Sayli gets better the more you use it. Every call you finish becomes searchable memory. By week two, "what did we tell that customer in March" is one question away.
