Can Wave record in-person consulting workshops?

Yes. Consultants record workshops, roundtables, and interviews on the Wave mobile app for iPhone or Android, or on Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch. Wave transcribes each recording with speaker labels and writes an AI summary.

How do Wave's AI summaries help consultants write deliverables?

Wave summarizes each session into themes, decisions, and action items, and Wave Assistant answers questions across all of your recorded sessions. Consultants use these as source material for reports, proposals, and status updates.

Can Wave record client video calls without a bot?

Yes. The Wave desktop app for Mac and Windows records Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other calls by capturing your microphone and system audio, so nothing joins the meeting. Tell participants you're recording where the law or client policy requires it.

Is client data secure in Wave?

Wave is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant for the Security criteria. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are encrypted in transit and at rest, are never used to train AI models, and belong to you.

Can a consulting firm use Wave across a team?

Yes. Wave Teams gives a firm one bill and a team console for seats, starting at $7.50 per user per month with a 5-user minimum. Each consultant keeps a private account and shares individual sessions with colleagues; admins see usage, never recordings.

The AI Note Taker Built for Consultants

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Wave AI is an AI note taker for consultants: it records in-person workshops and stakeholder interviews on your phone or watch, and client video calls on your laptop without a bot, then writes a transcript and summary of each. It works on iPhone, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS, Mac, Windows, and the web, and is free for 30 minutes a month.

How consultants use Wave

How do consultants use an AI note taker?

Much consulting work happens in client conference rooms, not on video. Consultants record workshops and interviews on the Wave mobile app or a watch, record video calls with the Wave desktop app, and keep each engagement's sessions together in a folder.

Workshops and interviews on site: tap record on the Wave mobile app and set the phone on the table.
Walking meetings and site visits: record from Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch.
Client video calls: record with the Wave desktop app for Mac or Windows, with nothing added to the call.
Writing the deliverable: ask Wave what stakeholders said about a topic across the engagement, with links to each source.

Can I use Claude or ChatGPT on my interview notes?

Yes. Wave is listed as Wave AI Note Taker in the Claude connector directory and the ChatGPT app directory. Once connected, the assistant can search your Wave sessions and quote transcripts, which helps when synthesizing a dozen stakeholder interviews into findings.

The problems you know too well

Notes Miss the Nuance of Discovery

If you're writing, you're not probing. Recording discovery sessions lets you follow the thread and still keep every quote.

Deliverable Prep Starts From Scattered Notes

Rebuilding what a dozen stakeholders said before writing the report takes hours. Searchable transcripts and summaries shorten that step.

Clients Misremember What Was Agreed

When scope or decisions get disputed, a transcript shows what was actually said in the meeting.

Features

Everything you need to capture every conversation

In-Person and Wrist Recording

Record on iPhone or Android with the screen off, or from Apple Watch and Wear OS when pulling out a phone would be awkward.

Bot-Free Client Calls

The Wave desktop app records Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex calls from your side, with no bot in the participant list.

Folders per Engagement

Group each client's sessions into a folder so an engagement's workshops, interviews, and calls stay together.

Speaker-Labeled Transcripts

Know who said what in multi-stakeholder sessions. Voice ID labels people you record often automatically.

Notion, OneNote, and Google Docs Export

Send a session's summary to a Notion database, OneNote section, or Google Doc, or export PDF or DOCX for the client.
