Need

A streamlined workflow tool for capturing and organizing key moments from meetings, with AI-powered insights and references to help designers act on feedback and drive projects ahead more efficiently.

Main Feature(s)

01 Creating visual note

Why are the icons and bookmark methods different on the desktop and mobile versions?

The easier and more intuitive method of making image bookmarks differs slightly, such as users taking a photo with a phone or capturing a screenshot on a desktop.

02 Creating visual note

Why is there no AI reference feature  in the plug-in version?

Browsing references during meetings can be distracting and may lack complete data to generate an accurate reference list, so the list is available on both desktop and mobile homepages.

Key Takeaway(s)

__Even when users seek the same results, their interactions can differ depending on the platform and situation. Especially when users must focus on other priorities, they need interactions that are intuitive, simple, and aligned with their situation and needs to enable quick and effortless engagement.

__Small visual cues, such as indicators for visual notes or recordings in progress, can provide valuable confirmation of users’ actions. These subtle signals help users stay aware of what’s happening in the system, reduce uncertainty, and build trust in the interaction.
