Highlight AI is an AI assistant that runs on your desktop and captures what matters across your meetings, screen and connected tools. Its stated aim is to remove the work around the work: hunting for context, repeating tasks and writing the perfect prompt before the assistant is useful.
The company says most AI tools make individuals faster but leave team coordination untouched. Highlight focuses on the space between people, preparing briefs, tracking decisions and owners, and drafting follow-ups in the tools where work already happens. It is based in San Francisco and reports $40M in Series A funding.
Highlight runs on the desktop and joins calls without a bot to invite. It captures meetings, screen activity and connected apps, then builds context around your work. Before a meeting it prepares a brief with updates and open questions. Afterward it produces a summary, decisions, owners and drafted next steps.
Drafts such as emails, Slack messages, scorecards and documents are staged for review, and the user can edit, discard or send them. Nothing happens without approval. Users can exclude apps, websites and windows, and the site says passwords, sign-ins and health, financial and government content are never captured.
The core features are meeting transcription with summaries and reminders, meeting briefs, daily briefs, and daily and weekly recaps. A chat assistant answers questions grounded in meetings, messages and documents, and search works across connected tools. Follow-ups can draft an email, create a document or book a meeting.
Pro and Max add skills, which are built-in or custom routines that run on a schedule or when something happens. One example is a daily pipeline sweep that checks Ashby, Gmail, Slack and calls for candidates who slipped through. Recruiting also gets ATS-ready scorecards and a weekly pipeline report.
