What is CONVOLENS by ELAV8?
CONVOLENS by ELAV8 is Streaming Intelligence for live conversation. While people talk or listen, it transcribes speech, turns those words into real-time slides and infographics, fact-checks claims as they are spoken, surfaces insight, remembers context like names and prior points, suggests the next best question, and shows a live transcription.
Who is CONVOLENS for?
CONVOLENS by ELAV8 is for teachers, speakers, meetings, teams, podcasters, and anyone in a live conversation who wants real-time slides, facts, and insight while they talk or listen. Podcast is one use case among many.
What can CONVOLENS do during a live conversation?
CONVOLENS works while you talk or listen. It shows a live transcription, builds real-time slides and infographics from what is said, fact-checks claims, surfaces insight, remembers context, and suggests the next best question so you know what to say or think about next.
What platform does CONVOLENS run on and how do I join?
CONVOLENS by ELAV8 is in free Open Alpha on macOS. On a Mac, go to elav8.ai/convolens and click Download to get the app directly. On a phone or PC, use the signup form to get the download link by email (or join the Windows waitlist). Browser and other surfaces are on the roadmap.

Who builds CONVOLENS?
CONVOLENS is built by the ELAV8 team at ELAV8 AI LLC, the same company behind ELAV8 Voice. It uses enterprise-grade encryption, gives you control over your data, and never sells personal data to third parties.
