Different halves of the same question
Ask Claude to reason about a decision and it will do it well, from whatever you put in the window. Ask it what your customer said in March and it has no way to know.
Nod holds that half. It captures the call from your Mac's audio, keeps the transcript and summary, and answers across every session with the sources attached.
- Knows your conversations — Nod: yes, the ones it captured · Claude: only what you paste in.
- General reasoning and writing — Nod: limited to your material · Claude: its actual strength.
- Joins or records calls — Nod: captures from your Mac, no bot · Claude: no.
- Together after approval — the connector is built to retrieve Nod meetings in Claude, read-only.
What the connector does
After the directory listing opens, a user can add Nod and authorize meeting retrieval in Claude. Claude can then combine what was said on a call with other context in that chat. The grant is read-only and revocable.
Public installation is not open yet. Details are on Nod for Claude. Nod's own security posture — no stored audio, EU hosting, no model training — is on the security page.
When you don't need Nod
If your work does not run on conversations, Claude on its own is plenty. Nod is for people whose commitments and decisions get made out loud and then vanish.
Frequently asked questions
Can Claude sit in on my call?
No. Claude does not capture Nod's Mac audio or join calls. Nod captures the meeting without a participant bot. Its read-only Claude connector is built to make the result readable after public directory approval and user authorization.
Is my transcript sent to Claude automatically?
After public installation opens, only an authorized request can retrieve summaries or transcripts. Nothing is pushed on a schedule. The connector is built but still awaiting directory approval.
Is my data used to train a model?
Not by Nod and not by our subprocessors — our language-model calls run with Zero Data Retention and training disabled. What Anthropic does with a conversation in Claude is governed by their terms, so check those for the Claude side.
