Nod for consultants

Every client thinks they are your only client.

You carry six engagements at once, and each one expects you to remember the thing they mentioned in passing five weeks ago. Nod captures every client call from your Mac's own audio — no bot joins the room — and keeps each engagement as its own memory you can ask. So the scope you agreed on in the kickoff is still quotable in month four.

14-day free trial, no card. macOS only.

  • Everything this client has asked for, in one list
  • What was in scope, and what quietly wasn't
  • The status update, drafted from the last three calls
  • Prep for a check-in you have not thought about in a month
  • For independent consultants

    “What did we agree was out of scope?”

    Scope creep starts as a sentence nobody wrote down. Get the sentence back, with the call it was said on.

  • For account managers

    “What has this account asked for this quarter?”

    Every request across every call, so the QBR is a summary of the truth and not of your inbox.

  • For agency leads

    “Which clients are waiting on something from us?”

    One question across the whole book of business, before a client has to send the follow-up email.

Ask it the way you'd say it.

  • What did we agree was out of scope?
  • What has this account asked for this quarter?
  • Which clients are waiting on something from us?
  • What has Northwind asked for this month?

A day with Nod

Four moments where the notes would otherwise be on you.

  1. 09:30Client kickoff

    The scope, captured as it was actually agreed.

    • What is in, what is out, and who owns each part
    • Their words, not the version in your proposal
    • Zoom, Meet, Teams, or a phone on speaker
  2. 13:00Mid-engagement check-in

    Walk in holding the last four weeks.

    • What you promised at the last check-in
    • What shipped, and what is still open
    • The concern they raised and nobody closed
  3. 16:20A second client, same afternoon

    Switch accounts without switching your head.

    • Each engagement kept as its own thread
    • Ask one client's question without the other's noise
    • Notes written before the next call starts
  4. 18:00Ask Nod

    The status update writes itself.

    • “What has Northwind asked for this month?”
    • “What am I late on, and for whom?”
    • Answers with the call each one came from

Action items

The follow-up is written before you close the laptop

A consulting relationship is a long series of small promises. Nod pulls the ones with your name on them out of every call — what you said you would send, who is blocked until you do, and by when — so the client never has to be the one who remembers.

Ask Nod

Ask one account, not all of them

Scope your question to a single engagement and get an answer drawn only from that client's calls, with the sessions it came from. That is what makes it usable in front of the client: you can check the source before you repeat the claim.

Engagement memory

Month four still remembers week one

The kickoff is where the engagement is defined, and it is also the conversation you are furthest from when it matters. Nod keeps it as retrievable in month four as it was the day after, which is what turns a disagreement about scope into a quotation.

Your client's words stay between you

Client calls carry things that are not yours to leak: their numbers, their internal politics, the reorganisation they have not announced. Nod captures the audio your Mac is already playing, through native macOS APIs, so nothing dials into the call and nothing shows up in the participant list. Each segment goes through a European proxy to a hosted transcription service under Zero Data Retention, and is discarded the second the text comes back. No audio is stored at either end. Only the transcript and the summary are kept, encrypted at rest in the EU, and nothing is used to train a model. The full detail is on the security page.

  • Nothing joins the call — no participant, no recording banner
  • No audio stored, at Nod or at the transcription service
  • Notes encrypted at rest in the EU (AWS eu-west-1)
  • Private by default — a summary leaves only when you share it

Stop being the bottleneck in your own engagements.

The billable hour is not the problem. The unbillable half-hour after every call, spent writing up what was just said and still forgetting the one detail that mattered, is.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I keep clients separate?

    Yes. Sessions go into folders, and Ask Nod can be scoped to one folder, so a question about one engagement is answered only from that engagement's calls. That is a Pro feature — see pricing.

  • Does a bot join my client calls?

    No. Nod captures your Mac's system audio rather than dialling in, so nothing appears in the participant list and no recording banner fires on your client's screen. No bot doesn't mean no consent. Recording law varies by country and by state, and some of it asks everyone on the call to agree — so tell people you're taking notes. See recording consent laws.

  • What if the call is on the client's platform?

    It does not matter. Nod captures at the operating-system level rather than integrating with a meeting service, so Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, a Slack huddle or a phone on speaker all work the same way. It is macOS only.

  • Is my client data used to train a model?

    No — not by us and not by our subprocessors. Transcription runs under Zero Data Retention and the language-model calls have training disabled. Details on the security page.
