What is Earmark?

Earmark is an AI workspace that turns your live conversations into finished work—PRDs, tickets, recaps, and status updates—so you stop rewriting your meetings after hours.

What exactly does Earmark do?

Earmark listens to your meetings (remote or in-person), understands the context, and then:

  • Extracts decisions, risks, and next steps

  • Writes PRDs and specs using your templates

  • Creates Jira/Linear tickets with acceptance criteria

  • Drafts customer follow-ups and stakeholder recaps

  • Produces status updates and summaries

You talk through the problem; Earmark turns that into structured, shippable output.

Is Earmark a note-taking tool or something else?

Earmark is not “just an AI notetaker.” Its primary output isn’t a transcript, it’s finished work. Think of it as:

  • Part AI Chief of Staff for product and engineering

  • Part real-time documentation engine

  • Part workflow automation for meeting output

You still get summaries, but the real value is PRDs, tickets, and updates that are ready to share.

Who is Earmark for?

We built Earmark primarily for:

  • Product Managers (PMs) and Group PMs

  • Technical Program Managers (TPMs) and Program Leads

  • Engineering Managers (EMs) and Tech Leads

  • Forward Deployed Engineers

  • Sales Engineers

  • Strategy Teams

  • Chiefs of Staff / BizOps / Ops leaders

  • Cross-functional leaders who live in meetings

If you spend your days in planning, roadmap reviews, standups, grooming, customer calls, or stakeholder syncs—and then nights converting those into docs and tickets—Earmark is for you.

What problems does Earmark solve?

Earmark attacks a few painful patterns:

  • The “second shift” after meetings

    • You already decided everything in the meeting, but still have to write the PRD, tickets, recap, and status deck afterward.

  • Scattered, inconsistent documentation

    • Some meetings get notes, others don’t; every PM writes specs differently; tickets are missing context or acceptance criteria.

  • Backlog churn and misalignment

    • Teams implement the wrong thing because context never made it cleanly from the conversation into the tools devs actually use.

Earmark compresses this loop: one conversation → multiple finished artifacts, reliably and consistently.

How does Earmark capture my meetings?

Earmark uses device-side capture rather than a guest bot:

  • You open Earmark (desktop or web)

  • Click Start capture (with or without a linked calendar event)

  • Earmark listens to the conversation and builds an internal representation of what’s being discussed

No extra “AI Bot” shows up on the participant list.

Which meeting platforms does Earmark support?

Earmark is meeting-platform agnostic. If you can hear it on your computer, Earmark can capture it:

  • Zoom

  • Google Meet

  • Microsoft Teams

  • Webex and other browser-based tools

  • In-person meetings (via your laptop microphone)

  • Phone calls on speaker near your laptop

You’re not locked to a specific conferencing provider.

Does everyone in the meeting need Earmark?

No. Only the organizer (or whoever is running Earmark) needs the app. Other attendees don’t need an account, extension, or install.

What happens once Earmark is “listening”?

During the meeting, Earmark:

  1. Listens for context – people, topics, decisions, and next steps.

  2. Tracks the structure – what’s being proposed, debated, decided, or parked.

  3. Waits for instructions – you assign tasks like:

    • “Create Jira tickets from this discussion.”

    • “Draft a PRD for this feature.”

    • “Write a recap for the leadership team.”

Earmark then turns the conversation into specific deliverables, using your templates and tools.

How do I tell Earmark what I want from each meeting?

You can:

  • Assign tasks live:

    • “Draft PRD for ‘billing tier change’.”

    • “Create 10-ish Jira tickets with acceptance criteria.”

    • “Send a high-level recap to our GTM Slack channel.”

  • Configure defaults by meeting type:

    • For recurring meetings (e.g., “Weekly Product Sync”), you can set default tasks like “summary + decision log + action items.”

  • Use templates:

    • Choose from built-in templates or define your own PRD, ticket, and recap formats.

What does Earmark product exactly?

Common outputs include:

  • PRDs / Specs

    • Problem, background, constraints

    • Requirements, user stories, edge cases

    • Open questions, assumptions, risks

  • Jira / Linear tickets

    • Title, description, context

    • Acceptance criteria and test notes

    • Links back to meeting context

  • Customer call recaps

    • Customer goals, pain points

    • Feature requests and adoption risks

    • Follow-up actions and owners

  • Status updates

    • Progress summaries by workstream

    • Risks, blockers, and mitigations

    • Next steps and asks

  • Decision logs

    • What was decided, by whom, and why

    • Alternatives considered

    • Impact and follow-ups

You remain in control, but you’re starting from a strong draft rather than a blank page.

Can Earmark handle multi-speaker, messy meetings?

Yes. It’s designed for real life, not perfect podcast audio:

  • Multiple speakers, different accents

  • Back-and-forth debates and interruptions

  • Topics that bounce around and then come back

You’ll still get more accurate results from clear microphones and a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio, but Earmark is built for the mess.

Does Earmark work in real time or only after the meeting?

Both:

  • Real-time: See early drafts of artifacts during the meeting, so you can sanity-check or adjust direction.

  • Post-meeting: Run additional tasks on the captured meeting (e.g., “Now create a short executive summary,” or “Create a customer-facing recap.”).

Many teams use Earmark live in the meeting, then run one or two follow-up tasks after.

Can I use my existing PRD or ticket templates?

Yes. You can:

  • Copy/paste existing template structure in Earmark

  • Capture any relevant meetings

Earmark will auto-complete your document as conversations take place.

Can I define different templates for different meeting types?

Absolutely. You can:

  • Send Earmark specific templates to recurring meetings (e.g., “Backlog Grooming → ticket template”) and we'll push task agents to you.

  • Let PMs/TPMs choose those custom templates on the fly depending on the context

What type of meetings does Earmark work best for?

Some high-value patterns:

  1. Backlog grooming / refinement

    • Turn a messy discussion into a set of ready-to-dev tickets.

  2. Roadmap / planning sessions

    • Generate PRDs, milestones, and decision logs.

  3. Spec walkthroughs and reviews

    • Capture feedback, decisions, and open questions—and update the spec.

  4. Customer and sales calls

    • Summaries, risk notes, follow-ups, and internal notes (vs. customer-facing recap).

  5. Weekly status / standups

    • One summary per team or initiative, plus action items and blockers.

  6. 1:1s and performance conversations

    • Goals, feedback, commitments, and follow-up tasks.

  7. Executive reviews

    • Crisp “executive-ready” summaries and decision logs.

Can I use Earmark just for summaries and action items?

Yes. Some teams start with:

  • Summaries (short or detailed)

  • Action item lists with owners and due dates

Then gradually move into full PRDs, tickets, and more structured outputs as they get comfortable.

Do you support non-product meetings?

Yes. While Earmark is optimized for product/engineering workflows, it can just as easily:

  • Draft sales follow-ups and account notes

  • Write marketing briefs

  • Summarize ops and leadership meetings

Wherever conversations become written work, Earmark can help.

How "good" are the outputs?

In practice, customers report that:

  • Earmark reliably captures the important decisions, context, and tasks

  • Most artifacts need light editing, not a full rewrite

  • The more consistent your meeting patterns and templates, the better the output

We recommend treating Earmark as your first draft engine: it gets you to 70–90%, you do the last 10–30%.

Who is responsible for the final output?

You are. Earmark:

  • Suggests structure and wording

  • Aggregates context from the conversation

  • Saves you from starting at zero

But you review, edit, and own everything that gets shared with your team, customers, or leadership.

What are the limits of what Earmark can do today?

What are the limits of what Earmark can do today?

Some realistic limitations:

  • It’s not a replacement for your judgment, product sense, or stakeholder alignment.

  • It can’t read minds; if something wasn’t clearly discussed, it may not infer it correctly.

  • It needs internet connectivity to generate artifacts (AI models run in the cloud).

  • Extremely chaotic audio or very noisy environments can reduce accuracy.

If Earmark ever produces something off, you can correct it, re-run it, or give more explicit instructions.

Security, Privacy & Compliance?

Do you send bots into my meetings?

No. Earmark does not join your calls as a participant. It relies on device-side capture instead of a “guest bot,” which:

  • Avoids awkward “who invited this AI bot?” moments

  • Plays more nicely with customers and external stakeholders

  • Reduces confusion around meeting visibility and links

Do you store my audio or transcripts?

Earmark is designed to be privacy-first:

  • We don't store raw audio.

  • You don't store any data by default

  • We do not train on your data.

For teams with strict policies, we work with you to align retention and deletion rules with your governance needs.

How is my data kept secure?

We follow industry-standard practices, including:

  • Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest

  • Access controls at the org and user level

  • Environment isolation for customer data

We’re happy to go through your security review and provide additional technical detail as needed.

Do you sell or share my data?

No.

  • We don’t sell your data.

  • We dou don't store any data by default

  • We don’t share transcripts or artifacts with other customers.

  • We don’t use your data to train public or shared models.

What models does Earmark use?

Earmark uses state-of-the-art LLMs (including GPT-5.1) and may mix in other providers where it improves quality, reliability, or latency. Over time we may adjust the exact model mix to give you better results.

Is training or fine-tuning happening on my data?

We do not use your data to train public models.

Internally, we may use aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to improve prompts, templates, and product behavior—but never in a way that exposes your proprietary content to other customers.

What do I need to run Earmark?

What do I need to run Earmark?

Typically:

  • A modern browser and/or the Earmark desktop app

  • A work email address

  • A stable internet connection

For best performance, use a reasonably recent machine and OS (the same standard you’d use for other modern SaaS tools).

Do you sell or share my data?

For an individual:

  • 10–15 minutes to sign up, connect calendar, and set a few templates

  • 1–3 meetings to start seeing real value

For a team:

  • 1–2 weeks to pilot with a core group

  • 2–4 weeks to standardize on templates and workflows

Do I have to give Earmark access to my calendar?

No, but it’s recommended.

Without calendar access, you can still:

  • Run Earmark manually

  • Start capture and name the meeting yourself

With calendar access, you get:

  • One-click “Start with this event”

  • Auto-labeling of meetings with title and attendees

  • Cleaner meeting history and search

How is Earmark priced?

Earmark uses seat-based pricing:

  • Individual / IC plans for solo PMs/TPMs

  • Team plans for product/engineering orgs

  • Enterprise plans with advanced security, integrations, and support

We don’t charge per meeting or per artifact—you shouldn’t feel like you have to “ration” usage.

How much time can Earmark actually save?

Most teams see:

  • Several hours per week saved per PM/TPM, some customers get back 10+ hours a week

  • A meaningful reduction in post-meeting “cleanup time”

  • More consistent documentation and fewer “what did we decide?” moments

The exact number depends on how meeting-heavy your team is and how many artifacts you generate.

How can I measure the impact internally?

Some practical approaches:

  • Survey your PM/TPM/EM team about time saved and stress reductio

  • Track how long it used to take to write a PRD/tickets/recap vs. now

  • Count how many artifacts are directly generated or started in Earmark

  • Monitor reduction in “follow-up meetings” caused by missing context

How is Earmark different from generic AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT in a browser, Copilot, etc.)?

Generic tools are powerful, but:

  • You still have to move content in and out manually

  • They’re not tied deeply to your meeting workflows and calendar

  • They don’t know which specific outputs you need for each meeting

Earmark is purpose-built around meetings → artifacts, with templates, integrations, and workflows tuned for that loop, especially for product and engineering teams.

Why not just build this internally?

You can try—but questions quickly appear:

  • Who maintains the internal tool when frameworks, APIs, and models change?

  • Who owns uptime, on-call, and performance?

  • Who handles security, compliance, and audits?

  • Who keeps templates, models, and workflows improving over time?

Earmark is a product, not a one-off script. You’re buying all the operational care, iteration, and support that goes into making this work reliably for your team day after day.

Do I need to tell people Earmark is being used in a meeting?

We recommend being transparent:

  • Mention at the start: “I’m using Earmark to capture notes and draft tickets/recaps.”

  • Include a brief note in recurring agendas that “AI-driven documentation” is being used.

In most organizations, people are relieved that someone else (even AI) is handling the detailed note-taking.

Does Earmark replace human note-takers?

Often:

  • It replaces the need for a dedicated “scribe” role in many meetings.

  • It allows PMs/TPMs to participate more fully instead of typing constantly.

But you’ll still want a human owner of each meeting’s outcomes, who validates the artifacts before they’re shared.

What happens if my internet dies mid-meeting?

  • Earmark needs a connection to generate AI artifacts.

  • If connectivity drops, capture may pause, and tasks may be delayed until you’re back online.

  • In many cases, you can resume or re-run tasks once your connection stabilizes.

What if I forget to start Earmark at the beginning of the meeting?

You can:

  • Start Earmark mid-meeting; it’ll capture from that point forward.

  • Add manual notes or context if you need to fill gaps that occurred before capture started.

How do I delete a meeting or artifacts I don’t want to keep?

You can:

  • Open the meeting in Earmark

  • Delete the session and/or specific artifacts

  • Apply your org’s retention policies for auto-cleanup

What if the artifact feels too long or too short?

You can:

  • Ask for a shorter/longer version (“Can you condense this to a 3-paragraph exec summary?”)

  • Refine templates to be more concise or more detailed

  • Re-run the task with clearer instructions (“Focus only on decisions and action items.”)
