Summary

Google quietly released Foresight, a free Mac AI app for meeting notes and information retrieval that runs fully offline using EmbeddingGemma 2 and Gemma 4, keeping all audio and personal data local.

Google quietly released a Mac AI app: Foresight, free, no subscription required, and runs completely offline locally. It's said that NotebookLM is Google's most standout AI product in recent years. Foresight is likely to be the second. Foresight's use cases: helps you with meetings, take notes, and find information you need for work anytime. During meetings, you just focus on listening and jot down a few keywords casually; it will combine the meeting transcription to turn those scattered notes into complete ones. Works for both online meetings and in-person discussions. (When I tested it, I played a YouTube video nearby, and it transcribed just fine.) After connecting project files, reference materials, and your calendar to Foresight, it can also help you look up info during meetings. When a topic comes up, it automatically pulls up relevant content with sources cited, saving you from flipping through files mid-meeting. Foresight is powered by EmbeddingGemma 2 and Gemma 4 behind the scenes: the former handles retrieval, while the latter generates responses based on the materials. All AI inference happens entirely on your Mac, with meeting audio, notes, and personal data staying on your own computer.
