How to Use Screenpipe to Capture and Search Meeting Details Automatically
Learn how to use Screenpipe to record and search all your screen and meeting content automatically.
What is Screenpipe?
Screenpipe is an open-source AI screen recording tool that continuously captures your screen and microphone, then uses on-device AI to turn that raw footage into searchable, actionable insights. It works like a personal memory layer for your computer, so you never lose track of what you saw or said.
Unlike conventional screen recorders that just save video files, Screenpipe analyzes everything you see and hear, transcribing meetings, extracting tasks, and building a searchable timeline of your digital life. Because processing happens locally, your data stays private and under your control.
