DriftAlert

Listens to your meeting and nudges the host when the topic drifts

Problem

Online meetings wander off-topic without anyone noticing, and people leave without resolving the original question; existing meeting tools only summarize afterward, doing nothing while the drift is happening.

Solution

A local desktop tool captures meeting or system audio, runs lightweight local transcription and topic matching against the user's agenda keywords, and when drift exceeds a set duration shows a subtle badge or sound cue. It logs drift timestamps for an after-meeting review.

Users

Hosts on remote teams, product managers, and consultants who need to keep meetings on track

MVP

Set agenda keywords and tolerance window; capture system audio with local transcription (local small model); drift detection and desktop nudge; drift timeline during the meeting; short post-meeting drift report export

Revenue

Free trial plus $6–10/month subscription; per-seat team plan

Why now

Remote meeting density remains high and local small models allow transcription without uploading audio, easing privacy concerns; the logic is simple enough for an indie MVP
