FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Voice-first. Zero recording. Real-time AI intelligence.
May 2026 | Miami, FL Voice-first. Zero recording. Real-time AI intelligence. A new kind of meeting platform that eliminates video distractions, discards audio the moment it’s transcribed, and deploys on private cloud or on-premises, giving regulated industries AI meeting intelligence with nothing to breach, subpoena, or misuse.
Beaver AI, the meeting intelligence company, today announced the general availability of Magic Whiteboard, a fundamentally new approach to AI-powered meetings. Unlike every other meeting AI tool on the market, Magic Whiteboard delivers real-time transcription, agenda tracking, action item detection, and live AI analysis without ever recording, storing, or retaining a single second of audio or video.
But Magic Whiteboard isn’t just private. It’s opinionated. The platform is voice-only by design, deliberately eliminating video to cut bandwidth waste, remove visual distractions, and force teams to focus on what actually matters: the agenda, the decisions, and the outcomes.
For organisations that require video for external calls, Beaver AI’s companion Notetaker product integrates with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, providing the same zero-audio-recording, text-only transcription architecture, ensuring privacy extends to every meeting type.
Meetings Are Broken Twice: Privacy and Focus
The meeting intelligence market has exploded, but two critical problems remain unsolved.
The privacy problem: Traditional meeting bots join calls, record everything, and upload audio to cloud servers. For organisations bound by GDPR, HIPAA, attorney-client privilege, DORA, or government security requirements, this is a non-starter. Otter.ai faces a federal class-action lawsuit over recording consent. Universities and hospitals are banning AI meeting bots outright. Only 13% of clinicians use AI for documentation, because the compliance risk outweighs the productivity gain.
The focus problem: Video meetings were designed for connection, but they’ve become a productivity drain. Participants multitask behind muted cameras, fixate on their own appearance, or lose cognitive bandwidth managing visual stimuli instead of engaging with the substance of the discussion. Research consistently shows that audio-only communication improves focus, reduces fatigue, and produces faster decisions. Yet every major meeting platform still defaults to video.
Magic Whiteboard solves both problems simultaneously.
How Magic Whiteboard Works
Voice-First: Meetings That Exist to Get Things Done
Meetings have become the most expensive unmanaged cost in business. The average professional spends over 20 hours per week in meetings, yet the majority produce no clear decisions, no documented action items, and no accountability for follow-through. Teams leave calls unsure what was agreed, who owns what, and whether the meeting needed to happen at all. Video made it worse. Instead of sharpening focus, the gallery view turned meetings into passive viewing experiences, participants multitasking behind muted cameras, monitoring their own appearance, or simply waiting for their turn to speak. The medium became the meeting, and the agenda became an afterthought. Magic Whiteboard strips meetings back to what they should be: a group of people working through an agenda, making decisions, and leaving with clear ownership of what happens next. The platform is deliberately voice-only. Participants join a browser-based voice room, no downloads, no accounts for guests, no video. The interface isn’t a grid of faces. It’s a shared, AI-powered workspace built around the agenda. As the conversation progresses, Magic Whiteboard’s AI tracks which agenda item is being discussed, detects decisions as they’re made, captures action items the moment they’re spoken, and attributes them to the right person, all in real time, visible to every participant.
This changes the dynamic of the meeting itself. When action items appear on screen as you speak them, people are more precise about commitments. When the agenda advances automatically and everyone can see it, tangents get shorter. When a live summary panel shows exactly what’s been decided so far, teams don’t waste ten minutes at the end trying to reconstruct what was agreed. By removing video, Magic Whiteboard eliminates the single largest source of meeting fatigue and bandwidth waste. But the real gain isn’t bandwidth, its focus. Planning sessions produce documented decisions instead of vague alignment. Sensitive discussions stay on track because the AI is structuring the conversation in real time, and participants engage with the substance instead of performing for a camera.
Meetings stop being a line item cost. They become the place where work actually gets decided.
Zero Recording: Audio That Exists Only in Transit
Magic Whiteboard uses a streaming-only architecture. Voice data flows from participants’ browsers through a secure connection to Beaver AI’s speech-to-text engine, which converts it to text on the fly. The audio is never written to disk, never stored in a database, and never retained after conversion. It exists only in transit, the moment speech becomes text, the audio is gone.
There is nothing to subpoena. Nothing to leak. Nothing to breach. Because it doesn’t exist.
Real-Time AI Intelligence
From the live text stream, Magic Whiteboard’s AI engine delivers:
Real-time transcription, Live, speaker-attributed transcript visible to all participants as the conversation happens.
Automatic agenda tracking, AI monitors the discussion and detects topic changes, automatically advancing through agenda items so meetings stay on track.
Live action item and decision detection, Commitments, decisions, and action items are surfaced the moment they’re spoken, not hours later in a summary email.
Ask Beaver, in-meeting AI chat, Any participant can privately query the AI about the meeting in progress. “What action items have been assigned to me?” or “Summarise the discussion so far”, answered instantly, visible only to the person who asked.
Live summary panel, A continuously updating summary refreshed every 30 seconds, with topic recap cards that appear when the conversation moves on.
Live reactions and hand raising, Lightweight engagement tools that keep distributed teams connected without interrupting the speaker.
Post-meeting personalised emails, Every participant receives a tailored summary highlighting their own action items, key decisions, and a full record of what was discussed.
No Bots. No Video Grid. Just Your Team and the Work.
Magic Whiteboard eliminates the two most complained-about aspects of modern meetings: the AI bot lurking in the call, and the video grid that nobody asked for. There is no third-party participant. No “Beaver AI Notetaker has joined the meeting” notification. No awkward moment explaining to a client why a robot is listening. And no gallery view of colleagues eating lunch on mute. Participants open a browser, join a voice room, and start talking. The AI works invisibly in the background, surfacing insights in real time through a clean, collaborative workspace.
Built for Regulated Industries. Useful for Everyone.
Magic Whiteboard was designed from day one for organisations where data sensitivity is paramount:
Zero audio or video recording, Voice data is streamed to Beaver AI’s proprietary speech engine and immediately discarded. Nothing is stored. Nothing can be subpoenaed, leaked, or breached.
No AI training on your data, Meeting content is never used to train AI models. Your discussions remain yours alone. Ephemeral processing, Audio exists only in transit. The moment speech is converted to text, the audio data is gone. Only the text transcript and AI-generated insights are retained, under your control.
Private cloud and on-premises deployment, The entire Magic Whiteboard platform deploys within your own infrastructure, private cloud or on-prem. No data leaves your environment. Full data sovereignty, no exceptions.
Proprietary speech-to-text engine, Beaver AI operates its own speech recognition infrastructure. Audio never touches third-party APIs or external processing services. Guest access without accounts, External participants join via a simple shared link. No downloads, no sign-ups, no data collection beyond a display name.
But privacy and focus aren’t just compliance requirements, they’re productivity features. Any team tired of bloated video calls, creepy meeting bots, and post-meeting summaries that arrive too late will find Magic Whiteboard a faster, sharper way to meet.
The Complete Beaver AI Meeting Platform Magic Whiteboard is Beaver AI’s flagship product for teams that want focused, private, AI-powered meetings. But not every meeting is an internal standup. Some require video. Some happen on platforms teams already use. For those meetings, Beaver AI Meeting Notetaker seamlessly plugs the gap. It integrates with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, providing AI-powered transcription and meeting intelligence with the same zero-audio-recording architecture. Audio is processed in real time and immediately discarded, only the text transcript is retained. No stored audio. No recordings. The same privacy guarantee, extended to the video platforms teams already rely on. Together, Magic Whiteboard and Beaver AI Notetaker create a complete, 100% private meeting intelligence platform. Every meeting type is covered. No audio is ever recorded or retained. Every deployment option, from SaaS to on-premises, keeps data under the organisation’s full control.
Integrations That Turn Conversations Into Action
Meeting intelligence is only useful if it connects to where work actually happens. Beaver AI Meeting Assistant integrates with Linear, GitHub, Notion, Jira, Asana, Trello, Slack, and Discord, so action items, decisions, and follow-ups flow directly into the tools teams already use. No manual copying. No context switching. Meetings end, and the work begins immediately.
Pricing and Availability
Magic Whiteboard is available today. Voice rooms support up to 50 concurrent participants with no per-meeting time limits. Beaver AI Notetaker for Google Meet and Microsoft Teams is available as an add-on or standalone subscription. Both products offer private cloud and on-premises deployment options for organisations requiring full data sovereignty.
“Every meeting AI tool asks the same question: how do we make recording smarter? We asked a different question: what if we never recorded at all? Magic Whiteboard proves that you don’t need to store audio to deliver real-time intelligence. And by going voice-first, we’ve built meetings that are not only private, but faster, leaner, and more focused than anything video can offer.”
