What is OLVA?

OLVA is a bot-free AI meeting assistant for live transcription, question detection, live answers, and AI coaching across 60 languages. It works on desktop and mobile for video calls and in-person meetings, then generates summaries and searchable memory afterward.

OLVA is a bot-free AI meeting assistant that delivers live intelligence during Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Webex, and in-person conversations. It captures audio directly from your device rather than joining the meeting as a visible participant, so it never appears on the roster. The core workflow centers on the live moment: a real-time transcript follows each speaker across up to 60 spoken languages with automatic detection, and OLVA flags questions as they are asked so you can address them without breaking the flow of conversation. Beyond transcription, OLVA offers live Q&A that draws on the active transcript and any reusable meeting context you have attached, such as notes or uploaded documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Markdown, text). An AI coach surfaces prompts for what to say next, sharper framing, or follow-up questions. Optional live insights add fact-checks and risk signals while the meeting is still running. This makes OLVA suited to sales calls, client visits, consulting sessions, and product discussions where the value lies in responding well in the moment, not just producing notes afterward. The tool runs on Windows and macOS desktops, with iOS and Android companion apps for in-person capture using the device microphone. After meetings, OLVA generates summaries, minutes, action items, and searchable meeting memory, and can turn a completed conversation into an editable PowerPoint deck. A Free plan exists with limited AI usage, while paid tiers scale meeting time and AI model access. Compared with Granola, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, and Otter.ai, OLVA emphasizes live coaching and question detection over post-call review, though its bot-free design depends on device capture rather than native platform integrations.

How do you use OLVA?

  1. 1Download and install OLVA for desktop
    Get the Windows x64 installer from the homepage and install OLVA locally. MacOS support is also available through the platform's app listings.
  2. 2Set up your meeting context
    Open the context manager to add notes or import files such as PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or Markdown. Assign the context to a folder or select it when starting OLVA so answers and insights can draw on your documents.
  3. 3Start bot-free capture in a meeting
    Launch OLVA before or during your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack huddle, or Webex call. It captures device audio without joining the meeting roster, and live transcription begins automatically.
  4. 4Use question detection and live Q&A
    As questions are detected, OLVA brings them forward with suggested answers. Use the in-meeting chat to ask for clarification, fact-checks, or context-aware responses while the conversation continues.
  5. 5Capture in-person conversations on mobile
    Install the iOS or Android app and use the device microphone to transcribe in-person meetings. Keep OLVA open to monitor capture, then review recaps and ask follow-up questions later.
  6. 6Review post-meeting outputs
    After the call, return to OLVA for summaries, minutes, action items, decisions, and searchable meeting memory. You can also generate an editable PowerPoint deck from the conversation.
