Your smartwatch can feed your AI agent now. Meet Recly

Recly records and transcribes into your own Google Drive, and your existing agent does the thinking.

Recly turns an Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, phone, Mac or Windows PC into a capture device for the AI agent you already use. The flow is simple: record, save to your Google Drive, transcribe, run an agent skill, and get structured notes.

Instead of paying for another meeting-summary platform, Recly handles recording, transcription and storage. Your existing agent does the interpretation. The audio and transcript stay in your own files, and an agent with access to them can turn a transcript into meeting notes, a decision log, follow-up tasks, a journal entry, research themes or a Notion page.

Recly supports on-device transcription where hardware allows, or a provider through your own API key. It ships editable skills, including a recly-notes workflow.

A practical use: a decision-log inbox. After a planning call, ask your agent for:

  1. Decisions made and the reason for each
  2. Unresolved questions
  3. Promised follow-ups, with owners and deadlines
  4. A link back to the original transcript

Start with a short, non-sensitive recording, check the files land in the right Drive folder, and read the transcript before letting an agent create tasks.

The catch: recording laws vary, so get consent before recording anyone. The no-account, no-server and limited Drive access claims come from the developer, so confirm them. Drive storage alone does not make a workflow private: check folder access, which provider hears the audio, retention, and where generated notes go.
