Meet Blinq AI Notetaker. Made for in-person conversations

Today, we're launching Blinq AI Notetaker. Every conversation you have, whether it's a networking event, client meeting, or casual chat over coffee, can now be captured, transcribed, and automatically linked to your new contacts.

This isn't another transcription app that organizes notes by meetings. Blinq AI Notetaker organizes notes by person, making every conversation easy to find. The summary appears on their contact automatically, giving you context right there to nail the perfect follow-up.

Digital business cards were just the beginning. The best networking tool doesn't just store contacts; it remembers conversations. And we're excited to show you how it works.

From great conversations to forgotten details

Our mission is to help professionals build meaningful relationships. But most relationship-building moments get lost to bad memory.

Picture this: you've just left an industry event. You met 14 people and had some incredible conversations. Someone mentioned they’ve got a place in Tahoe. Evaluating vendors in Q2. Huge Eagles fan.

Two days later, you remember... almost nothing.

We all know the strongest relationships are built on small details. But here's the problem: the best conversations happen in the worst places for taking notes.

At conferences, between sessions. On trade show floors where your hands are full. During client dinners where pulling out a laptop or notepad would kill the vibe.

You want to be present and engaged. But later, when it's time to follow up, you're stuck scrolling through scattered notes trying to remember who said what.

”Great meeting you" gets ignored. Mention their product launch or the challenge they're working through, and you'll actually hear back.

Most notetaker apps are made for virtual calls and don’t translate for those spontaneous in-person meetings, while voice recorders and transcription tools create files with text but require manual workarounds to make them valuable.

Blinq helped you make strong first impressions and organize your network. With AI Notetaker, we taught Blinq to listen, transcribe, and connect those conversations to the people that matter.

Your AI Notetaker in action

It's incredibly simple: Tap record before your conversation starts. When you're done, stop recording. That's it. AI Notetaker handles the rest: transcribing, extracting insights, identifying action items, and linking everything to the contact.

For example, you're at a conference and meet a potential client. You tap record, exchange digital business cards, then have a 15-minute conversation about their current challenges, upcoming projects, and their weekend plans. When you follow up next week, you open their contact and have perfect context right there: their dog's name, the intro they asked for, the vendor evaluation timeline. All on the contact.

Our customers are already using it for:

Client meetings to capture what they actually need, not just what the brief said

Networking events, when you're meeting a dozen people and trying to remember who does what and who you actually need to follow up with.

Conferences or Trade shows where you're meeting hundreds of people with different business needs and potential sales opportunities, you can turn it on once and each new contact created will be linked to a summary automatically

It's perfect for personal use too. I use it to remember conversations with mentors, friends' recommendations for books or restaurants, and those "I should really write this down" moments that usually slip away.

Built for how you actually work

The best tool is the one you actually use.

We didn't want the AI Notetaker to be another gadget to remember, charge, or carry. That's why it works with what you already have, your phone or smartwatch.

Record from your phone or smartwatch. Open Blinq, tap record, and keep your phone in your pocket or bag. The audio quality is excellent because your device is already optimized for voice capture.

No AI pins. No separate recorders. No Bluetooth devices that can die, break, or get left behind. Just the app you already use to manage your network. Notes on contacts, not trapped in a device that can fail.

The recording happens locally on your device, then securely uploads for transcription. You control when to record, when to stop, and what to keep.

Built for privacy and trust

We know conversations can be sensitive. Privacy isn't optional - it's essential.

You control everything. Every recording is opt-in so you choose when and what to record. Transcripts are encrypted and stored securely.

Be transparent. We always recommend letting people know you're recording. A simple "Do you mind if I record this so I remember the details?" builds trust and shows you care enough to remember.

You can even share the transcripts with the people you met, it becomes a value-add. "Here's a quick summary of what we discussed" is a pretty impressive follow-up.
