## What it is
Glass by Pickle is an open-source Electron desktop app that acts as a 'digital mind extension', seeing your screen and listening in real time to turn context into structured knowledge. It provides proactive meeting notes, summaries, and answers using OpenAI, Gemini, or local Ollama/Whisper models.

## Use cases
- take real-time meeting notes automatically
- get live summaries and action items during meetings
- ask questions about my previous screen activity and audio
- run a local LLM assistant with Ollama and Whisper
- have an invisible desktop AI assistant that doesn't appear in screen recordings

## When to choose
- you want a local-first, open-source meeting assistant on macOS or Windows
- you prefer using your own API keys or fully local models
- you need an on-screen assistant invisible to screenshots and recordings

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile or web-only assistant
- you require enterprise compliance or cloud-managed deployment
- you don't want an app that observes your screen and audio
