Hedy 3.2 performs all AI tasks directly on the user's device. Meeting summaries, notes, and live suggestions are processed locally without reaching a server. This ensures complete privacy for your conversations. Local processing is now possible thanks to powerful hardware and optimized models. ## Privacy First Hedy has prioritized privacy from the start. Audio recordings and speech recognition always stayed on the device. But AI analysis required servers. Now, even that can be done locally. Lawyers, doctors, and consultants with high confidentiality needs can use Hedy with confidence. ## Who Benefits? Local AI processing is ideal for privacy-sensitive professions. Lawyers can record client meetings. Doctors can get summaries of patient discussions. Journalists can secure sensitive interviews. Those with poor internet can also work offline without compromising features. ## Technical Details Local AI processing is supported on Apple Silicon Macs, Windows PCs with capable GPUs, and recent iPhones and iPads. Users can choose models matching their hardware. Smaller models are fast but basic, while larger ones offer better quality but are slower. Android and web versions are coming later. ## Cloud vs Local Cloud AI is still faster and higher quality. Local processing is for those with specific privacy needs. Summaries that are instant in the cloud may take 30 seconds to several minutes locally. Hedy doesn't silently switch to cloud if local processing fails, ensuring user trust. ## User Experience Local AI processing is opt-in and off by default. Users can enable it for an experimental experience. Larger models are better for long, detailed meetings. Hedy allows model selection based on hardware, balancing performance and privacy for a flexible user experience. ## Future Importance Local AI processing is a milestone for privacy-focused users. Keeping data off servers will expand Hedy's use across industries. Shrinking yet powerful AI models indicate such solutions will become common. Hedy leads by example, setting a benchmark in the industry. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.hedy.ai/post/local-ai-meetings-hedy-3-2/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
