The AI-powered notetaking app Granola, valued at $250 million, has become a popular tool among tech industry founders and VCs. But one developer believes there’s demand for a more private, local-only alternative that’s available for a one-time fee and without a subscription. That’s led to the creation of a new Mac app called Talat.
Yorkshire, England-based developer Nick Payne, a self-described computer nerd, says the idea to build a local AI notetaker came about mostly because of a series of happy accidents.
