What Omi is and what it does

Omi is your personal AI that listens to your real-life conversations, remembers them, and turns them into actions.

It captures what you say and hear throughout the day, transcribes it, and then helps you with things like:

  • Meeting and call summaries

  • Tasks and reminders

  • Searchable “memories” of what was said and decided

Think of it as a second brain that lives across your phone, Mac, and compatible wearables.

How Omi works: app, devices, apps, conversations, tasks, memories

  • Omi App (mobile + desktop)
    ​

    • Install the Omi app on iOS or Android to capture and review your conversations.

    • Use the Mac app to record meetings and access the same memories, summaries, tasks, and chat from your computer.
      ​

  • Devices (Omi hardware + third-party wearables)
    ​

    • You can pair Omi with official devices like the Omi, Omi DevKit, or Omi Glass for hands-free capture.

    • Omi also supports selected third-party wearables (like Plaud, Limitless Pendant, Bee and Friend) through integrations, so audio from those devices flows into the Omi app.
      ​

  • Conversations → memories → tasks
    ​

    • When you speak, Omi transcribes your conversation in real time.
      ​

    • Each recording is stored as a conversation in your account.
      ​

    • Omi’s AI turns that into:

      • Summaries

      • Key points and decisions

      • Tasks and reminders
        ​

    • All of this is saved as memories you can search by people, topics, or phrases later.
      ​

  • Apps (Omi Apps / marketplace)
    ​

    • Inside Omi, you can install apps that run on top of your conversations and memories.
      ​

    • Some apps focus on daily recaps, others on productivity, coaching, exports, or integrations with external tools.
      ​

    • You choose which apps process your data, and you can enable/disable them at any time.
      ​

Using Omi with or without hardware

  • Using Omi without hardware
    ​

    • You can start with just the Omi app on your phone or Mac.
      ​

    • Record directly from the device’s microphone (for calls, meetings, personal notes, etc.).
      ​

    • You still get transcriptions, summaries, memories, tasks, and AI chat. No wearable required.
      ​

  • Using Omi with hardware
    ​

    • If you have an Omi device or a supported third-party wearable, you can pair it to the app.
      ​

    • The wearable captures audio hands-free, while Omi handles transcription, memory, and tasks automatically in the background.
      ​

This is ideal if you’re in conversations all day and don’t want to think about pressing “record” on your phone.
