Be brilliant. Effortlessly. Welcome to AiCopal Studio on desktop: a

00:00:09.530 --> 00:00:13.670
workspace for the conversations you want to do more with. Get help when

00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:18.590
a question matters. Turn a discussion into a clear plan. Create visuals,

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:22.590
and come back to what you learned. We'll build one small project together,

00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:27.060
starting with your very first session. You can follow along now, or return

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:28.840
to any chapter when you need it.

00:00:29.867 --> 00:00:33.707
Start with a session. Think of it as the home for one conversation and

00:00:33.757 --> 00:00:37.107
the work you do with it. Here is your session list, where you return

00:00:37.157 --> 00:00:41.527
to earlier conversations. New session gives the next conversation its

00:00:41.567 --> 00:00:46.177
own space.  The transcript is the written record. Live is where you get

00:00:46.227 --> 00:00:50.637
assistance while the conversation is happening. Chat is where you ask

00:00:50.687 --> 00:00:53.800
your own questions and explore an idea further.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.620
Let's create a session for the Willow Cafe launch. A clear name makes

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:01.880
it easier to recognize later. On the desktop app, check the microphone

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.680
menu before you start. The source list shows the devices available on

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:10.320
your computer. Use the microphone you intend to capture. The desktop

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:13.350
transcription notice also explains that the other side of a call can

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.380
be captured. Make sure everyone involved is comfortable with transcription

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:22.070
before you begin.  Start transcription, then say a short sentence. Look

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.960
for words arriving here. In this fictional demonstration, we are playing

00:01:25.990 --> 00:01:29.810
a prepared example so we can watch the real transcript develop. If no

00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:34.040
words appear, check the selected source and its permission before continuing.

00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:38.070
Our example sets an opening target, a planned budget, and the people

00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.960
responsible. As the words arrive, they become the material for answers

00:01:41.990 --> 00:01:45.860
and summaries. Let the sentence finish so you can distinguish an in-progress

00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:49.610
phrase from the completed transcript.  Use Pause when you need a break.

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:54.300
The same control now offers Resume. When the conversation is finished,

00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:59.000
stop transcription. Notice the live timer disappears and the microphone

00:01:59.050 --> 00:02:02.480
returns to its ready state. Check the saved session before you leave.

00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:05.080
We now have a conversation we can work with.

00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:10.280
In our fictional cafe conversation, someone asks, “What must be ready

00:02:10.330 --> 00:02:14.690
before we commit to opening day?” AiCopal detects the question as the

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:20.110
transcript arrives. Open Questions to see it. Detection is the invitation.

00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:25.330
You decide whether this question needs an answer.  Choose Respond. That

00:02:25.380 --> 00:02:29.750
deliberate action starts the response and opens Live. Watch the answer

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:34.390
arrive. The detected question stays above it, so you can see exactly

00:02:34.430 --> 00:02:38.480
what the response addresses.  Start with the direct recommendation, then

00:02:38.550 --> 00:02:42.200
read the explanation underneath. It connects our opening target to Leo's

00:02:42.230 --> 00:02:46.520
equipment responsibilities, Priya's menu and promotion work, training,

00:02:46.550 --> 00:02:50.650
and the rehearsal. It also identifies the grinder decision that is still

00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:54.760
open. Notice the distinction between the plans in our conversation and

00:02:54.790 --> 00:02:59.080
the answer's additional recommendation. An AI recommendation is something

00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:02.733
to evaluate, not a decision the team has already made.

00:03:02.733 --> 00:03:06.793
When the conversation ends, make it easier to act on. Open the transcript

00:03:06.843 --> 00:03:11.883
menu and choose Generate Summary. This desktop app offers Default, Detailed,

00:03:11.993 --> 00:03:17.973
Brief, Action, Technical, and Custom. Brief focuses on key points. Action

00:03:18.053 --> 00:03:22.343
focuses on next steps and decisions. Detailed is useful when the reasoning

00:03:22.413 --> 00:03:27.903
matters.  Choose Action, then Generate. Read the result against the conversation.

00:03:28.333 --> 00:03:32.073
Our Willow Cafe summary includes the opening target, planned budget,

00:03:32.183 --> 00:03:37.113
owners, and open grinder decision. Check the deadlines too. A date inferred

00:03:37.143 --> 00:03:41.453
by the AI is not the same as a deadline explicitly agreed in the conversation.

00:03:41.823 --> 00:03:41.833


00:03:41.833 --> 00:03:45.783
Your first step can be small. Record a short planning conversation.

00:03:46.093 --> 00:03:51.193
Ask one useful question. Create one clear summary. Come back to the deeper

00:03:51.253 --> 00:03:55.823
chapters when you want to do more.  On the desktop app, arrange AiCopal

00:03:55.883 --> 00:03:59.913
around your workspace so the help stays close at hand. Your next conversation

00:03:59.963 --> 00:04:04.463
can become something you can understand, use, and build on.  AiCopal
