Be brilliant. Effortlessly. Welcome to AiCopal Studio on desktop: a workspace for the conversations you want to do more with. Get help when a question matters. Turn a discussion into a clear plan. Create visuals, and come back to what you learned. We'll build one small project together, starting with your very first session. You can follow along now, or return to any chapter when you need it.

Start with a session. Think of it as the home for one conversation and the work you do with it. Here is your session list, where you return to earlier conversations. New session gives the next conversation its own space.

The transcript is the written record. Live is where you get assistance while the conversation is happening. Chat is where you ask your own questions and explore an idea further.
Let's create a session for the Willow Cafe launch. A clear name makes it easier to recognize later. On the desktop app, check the microphone menu before you start. The source list shows the devices available on your computer. Use the microphone you intend to capture. The desktop transcription notice also explains that the other side of a call can be captured. Make sure everyone involved is comfortable with transcription before you begin.

Start transcription, then say a short sentence. Look for words arriving here. In this fictional demonstration, we are playing a prepared example so we can watch the real transcript develop. If no words appear, check the selected source and its permission before continuing.

Our example sets an opening target, a planned budget, and the people responsible. As the words arrive, they become the material for answers and summaries. Let the sentence finish so you can distinguish an in-progress phrase from the completed transcript.

Use Pause when you need a break. The same control now offers Resume. When the conversation is finished, stop transcription. Notice the live timer disappears and the microphone returns to its ready state. Check the saved session before you leave. We now have a conversation we can work with.

In our fictional cafe conversation, someone asks, “What must be ready before we commit to opening day?” AiCopal detects the question as the transcript arrives. Open Questions to see it. Detection is the invitation. You decide whether this question needs an answer.

Choose Respond. That deliberate action starts the response and opens Live. Watch the answer arrive. The detected question stays above it, so you can see exactly what the response addresses.

Start with the direct recommendation, then read the explanation underneath. It connects our opening target to Leo's equipment responsibilities, Priya's menu and promotion work, training, and the rehearsal. It also identifies the grinder decision that is still open. Notice the distinction between the plans in our conversation and the answer's additional recommendation. An AI recommendation is something to evaluate, not a decision the team has already made.

When the conversation ends, make it easier to act on. Open the transcript menu and choose Generate Summary. This desktop app offers Default, Detailed, Brief, Action, Technical, and Custom. Brief focuses on key points. Action focuses on next steps and decisions. Detailed is useful when the reasoning matters.

Choose Action, then Generate. Read the result against the conversation. Our Willow Cafe summary includes the opening target, planned budget, owners, and open grinder decision. Check the deadlines too. A date inferred by the AI is not the same as a deadline explicitly agreed in the conversation.

Your first step can be small. Record a short planning conversation. Ask one useful question. Create one clear summary. Come back to the deeper chapters when you want to do more.

On the desktop app, arrange AiCopal around your workspace so the help stays close at hand. Your next conversation can become something you can understand, use, and build on.
