Quick Navigation
What is Meerkat? Who cares? So what?
Meerkat is your AI-powered teammate, built to capture, connect, and accelerate the conversations that drive your business forward. It remembers what was said, tracks who knows whom, and surfaces the next best step so nothing gets lost and momentum never stalls.
Startups, small teams, investors, operators, consultants, solopreneurs, community builders, and enterprise innovators use Meerkat because their work runs on relationships and fast decisions. But too often, intros are buried, context fades, and opportunities slip.
Meerkat fixes that. It maps networks in real time, tracks actions across meetings and chats, and serves as your long-term memory. The result: faster follow-ups, smarter collaboration, and fewer dropped balls when every hour and every connection counts.
What does Meerkat actually do in a typical workday?
Meerkat joins your meetings, listens in on your chats, and quietly tracks what matters. It identifies key moments, suggests warm introductions, and tracks what needs to happen next.
Before a call, it reminds you who you are meeting with and what was said last time. During the conversation, it answers research questions, captures insights, maps relationships, and helps surface follow-ups in real time. Afterward, it continues the thread in the chat, ensuring that no next step falls through the cracks.
Meerkat connects dots across your calendar, inbox, meetings, and network. It doesn’t just listen. It moves things forward.
How does Meerkat differ from note-taking apps?
Most note-taking tools do a solid job of logging what happened: transcripts, summaries, and action items. Meerkat does all of that, but it goes further.
Meerkat builds shared memory across every conversation, whether it happens in a meeting, a chat thread, or a voice note. It tracks context over time, connects the dots, and makes it easy to pick up where you left off.
It also understands your network, maps who knows whom, and reveals warm paths to the people who matter. In real time, Meerkat responds to research prompts, surfaces relationship insights, and offers smart nudges so nothing gets lost and momentum keeps building.
This isn’t just about remembering what was said. It’s about understanding the why behind it and helping you move faster with clarity, context, and connection.
Can Meerkat be used as a replacement for WhatsApp or Slack?
Meerkat supports both real-time and asynchronous messaging, similar to Slack or WhatsApp. You can create threads, share updates, loop in teammates, and stay connected all in one place.
But Meerkat goes further. It doesn’t just facilitate communication, it enhances it. Every conversation becomes part of a living, searchable memory. Meerkat captures context, conducts research, tracks decisions, and keeps the momentum going so you never lose the thread or repeat yourself.
It also understands your network, reveals connections, and offers proactive insights based on who is in the room or what is being discussed. For teams looking to escape the clutter and reclaim clarity, Meerkat offers a fresh, focused, and more human way to work.
Is Meerkat just another ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT is a powerful general-purpose chatbot, but it doesn’t know your business, your people, or your past work. Meerkat does.
Meerkat is built for teams, not individuals. It joins your meetings, remembers your conversations, maps your relationships, and works across chats, calls, and contacts. It doesn't wait for prompts. It proactively surfaces follow-ups, insights, and warm introductions when and where you need them.
With multi-user conversations, real-time guidance, relationship intelligence, and long-term memory, Meerkat is not just answering questions. It helps you take action and maintain momentum.
How is Meerkat different from Microsoft Copilot?
Copilot is designed to enhance individual productivity within the Microsoft ecosystem, helping users generate emails, summarize documents, and work more efficiently across Microsoft tools. It is a strong fit for large enterprises deeply embedded in that environment.
Meerkat is different. It is built for fast-moving, relationship-driven teams. It sits across your existing tools, integrates across platforms, and joins your conversations wherever they happen. It maps your network, captures context, and helps everyone stay connected and aligned before, during, and after the meeting.
Where Copilot assists with content creation, Meerkat drives continuity, collaboration, and follow-through. It helps you act on what was said, connect with the right people, and keep momentum across every conversation.
What tools can Meerkat replace?
Meerkat replaces a surprising number of single-purpose tools. It can reduce or eliminate your need for meeting transcription apps, note-takers, messaging and productivity platforms, internal wikis, to-do list trackers, and even standalone AI chatbots.
Because Meerkat connects conversations, remembers context, and surfaces insights where you work, it simplifies your stack and helps your team stay focused without switching tools.
What tools and platforms does Meerkat integrate with?
Meerkat works across desktop and mobile, including macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. It integrates with tools your team already uses, including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Calendar integrations help Meerkat know when and where to show up, and our LinkedIn sync powers real-time relationship intelligence.
CRM integrations with Salesforce and HubSpot are on the roadmap, along with deeper connections to Notion, Slack, ClickUp, and Google Workspace. Meerkat is designed to sit across your communication stack, capturing, connecting, and surfacing insights without adding friction.
How else does Meerkat stand out in the marketplace?
Meerkat is more than an AI tool. It is infrastructure for how modern teams connect, collaborate, and follow through.
Unlike apps that operate in silos, Meerkat works across meetings, messages, and networks. It captures memory across every interaction and compounds in value over time. Your past conversations become assets, not clutter.
While most tools are built for internal use, Meerkat reflects how work really happens across companies, collaborators, and communities. It combines your network with others, surfaces insights, and brings everyone into one secure conversation space.
And because Meerkat lives inside your daily workflows, it becomes more helpful with every use. From startup teams to nonprofits to advisory firms, Meerkat helps people turn conversations into real outcomes.
How do I control what Meerkat remembers?
You are in control. Meerkat only joins conversations you invite it to, and you can choose what gets saved or deleted. In meetings, you can pause memory if you prefer not to have something captured, and conversations can be marked private when needed.
Meerkat is built to respect both personal discretion and team visibility. Our approach to memory is transparent and flexible, so you can keep what matters and clear what doesn’t, all with just a few clicks.
Is Meerkat secure enough for sensitive business conversations?
Yes. Meerkat is built for teams that work with high-stakes, confidential information. Founders, operators, investors, advisors, consultants, legal teams, and nonprofit leaders use Meerkat to handle sensitive conversations across meetings, messaging, and follow-ups.
Every conversation is organized into a private, secure cloud—accessible only to the people on your call or in your group. Meerkat uses enterprise-grade security protocols, including encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, secure APIs, and continuous monitoring.
It runs on trusted platforms like Google Cloud and Firebase, and every action is logged to ensure accountability. Security is not an add-on. It is foundational to how Meerkat works.
Is my personal data safe? How does Meerkat protect my data?
Yes. At Meerkat, your privacy and trust matter. Your data is encrypted at all times, both when it is being shared and when it is stored. We utilize secure APIs, robust access controls, and SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, all built on trusted platforms such as Google Cloud and Firebase.
We collect only what is necessary and avoid storing sensitive or unnecessary personal information. When we store data, we use techniques that hide or scramble it to reduce risk. Every action is logged and monitored to keep your information protected.
But beyond best practices, our philosophy is simple: your data belongs to you. We do not sell it, share it, or use it to train models. You can request to delete your data at any time, and we will handle it promptly and securely.
We adhere to leading privacy standards, including the GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA. We also take extra steps to protect sensitive information, such as emails and phone numbers, by detecting and masking them when necessary.
Meerkat is built with security in mind from day one, so you can focus on your conversations with confidence.
What is Meerkat’s approach to privacy?
Privacy is foundational to how Meerkat works. We value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal information.
You control what Meerkat joins, what gets saved, and when. Conversations are only visible to the people involved, and your data is never shared without your explicit permission. You can delete your conversations or your account at any time.
Meerkat utilizes encryption in transit and at rest, adhering to industry standards and privacy regulations, including the GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA. We believe in user-first data practices that are transparent, respectful, and built to serve you, not to monetize you.
