Overview

AskElephant's web platform is powerful on its own, but you don't have to stay at your desk to use it. The mobile and desktop apps extend your AskElephant experience wherever you are1 letting you capture meetings, stay on top of your schedule, and access your insights from any location or device. Whether you're in back-to-back meetings, working from a coffee shop, or juggling multiple projects at once, these companion apps make sure you're never out of the loop.

Key Terms

Engagement: A meeting, call, or conversation with a customer or colleague that you record and store in AskElephant.

Workspace: Your personal hub in AskElephant where all your engagements, recordings, and team collaboration happen.

Note-taker: An AI-powered assistant that joins your meeting to capture key points and create a transcript automatically.

The Mobile App: Capture Meetings On the Go

The AskElephant mobile app (available on iOS and Android) turns your phone into a portable meeting hub.

What you can do:

• View your schedule: See upcoming meetings with dates, times, associated companies, and attendees
• Record anywhere: Start a new recording with one tap, whether you're in a formal conference room or catching a spontaneous business conversation at lunch
• Access past engagements: Search through all your previous meetings by name, view audio and video recordings, check transcripts, and read participant details
• Collaborate in real time: Chat about engagements on the go and share content with coworkers or external contacts
• Trigger workflows: Start new conversations or actions based on workflows connected to specific meetings

The biggest advantage? You don't need to wait until you're back at your desk. The moment a meeting ends, your recording automatically uploads to your workspace no manual steps required.
