Capture what you'd forget.
Recall it when it matters.
Nuola is a wearable AI pendant for people who work at speed. One press records the meeting. One phrase captures the scene. By the end of the day, your scattered notes have become a traceable, multimodal work memory.
Your day produces exactly the information you will need later. And then it disappears into notebooks, camera rolls and memory.
Three ways your working memory leaks
Half a day of discussion, a two-hour site visit, three decisions. By evening, almost none of it is retrievable with the context intact.
Fragmented by default
Discussions live in a notebook. Site observations live in your camera roll. Client talk lives in your head. Three carriers, no way to reconnect them into one thread.
Details lost by evening
The point you meant to note. The detail you only glimpsed on site. The idea that flashed mid-discussion. All of it arrives when you cannot write it down — and leaves before you can.
Experience with no evidence
You accumulate years of field judgement, but nothing structured to review against. Lessons never compound, and the same problems come back the same way.
A closed loop from recording to report
Three capabilities that hand off to each other. Record the meeting, capture the field, and let the report pull it all back together.
Meeting recording
Start recording with a single press — with everyone informed and consenting. The LED stays lit for the whole session.
First-person capture
Say “Nuola, note this” and the pendant photographs what you are looking at, while recording what is being said.
Intelligent report
Everything gets merged — minutes, site photos, spoken notes — into one report that reads like someone followed you all day.
Work at the speed of the room you are in
Different jobs lose different things. Nuola adapts what it captures, and how it reports it, to the work you actually do.
Consultants
Walk out of the client meeting with the record already written, and the afternoon site visit already linked to it.
Sales
Stay with the buyer instead of your notebook, and send a follow-up that quotes the call back to them accurately.
Product & engineering
Turn a discussion into a decision log or a first-pass spec before you have reached your desk.
Operations
Every site visit becomes a checklist: what you saw, what was said, and what has to change before the next one.
Legal & compliance
An accurate, searchable record of what was actually said — not what someone remembers saying three weeks later.
Finance
Pull the context behind any number back up — who put it forward, on what basis, and what was agreed at the time.
Built for the way real work happens
Not a general-purpose AI gadget. Every feature answers one question: what does a person who lives in meetings and on site actually need?
One charge covers the longest day you have
Nuola runs 12 hours or more of continuous recording on a single charge — longer than any meeting day, and long enough that you stop thinking about battery at all. Start it in the morning and it is still listening when the last call of the day runs late.
- 12 h+ of continuous recording on one charge
- Wakes on a single press or a spoken phrase
- Magnetic dock tops it up in 90 minutes
The details you'd never stop to write down
Whiteboards, spreadsheets, a crack in the wall, a name on a door, the layout of a warehouse floor. You cannot photograph all of it without breaking the conversation — so Nuola takes it from where it hangs, on your chest.
- First-person field of view — what you see is what is captured
- Your spoken explanation is recorded alongside the frame
- Every capture carries a timestamp and location
- You decide when — Nuola never photographs on its own
Walk out of the room with the minutes already written
While you stay present with the people in front of you, Nuola is separating speakers, tracking the threads, and pulling out the things that actually need to survive the meeting: decisions, owners, deadlines and open questions.
- Speaker-separated transcript, searchable by keyword
- Decisions and action items extracted with an owner for each
- Follow-up meetings reference what was agreed last time
Project workflow methodology
When the same conversation keeps happening — the budget pushback, the scope creep, the client who will not commit — that repetition is a pattern, not bad luck. Nuola distils those repeated moments into a reusable playbook you can actually run next time.
Career growth coaching
Growth feedback is usually annual and vague. Nuola works from what you actually said, in the room, this week — then tracks whether your communication improves across projects, so advice stops being a one-off and starts being a trajectory.
One consultant's Tuesday, with and without it
Marcus is 35, a management consultant, and spends his life moving between conference rooms and client sites. This is a real shape of day — and what each hour looks like when Nuola is around your neck.
The project meeting
The team works through progress and blockers. The client has raised new concerns, someone needs to define the next step, and two decisions get made in passing.
Nuola records with the LED lit and everyone informed, then produces minutes that flag the site visit as an action item — which is exactly how the next scene gets triggered.
Standing on the actual floor
On site, the client walks Marcus through problem after problem. Too much arrives at once to write any of it down — so the capture has to be hands-free or it does not happen at all.
The pendant photographs what Marcus is looking at, records the client's explanation and his own reaction, timestamps and geotags both, and blurs faces on device before anything is stored.
The report already exists
Back at his desk, Nuola has merged the morning's minutes, the afternoon's photos and every spoken note into a single multimodal report — cross-referenced by project, not by timestamp.
Marcus reviews and sends. The work memory of that day is now traceable: whoever picks up this project next can reconstruct what was seen, heard and decided.
Site visit to confirm the issues raised by the client, reviewed on location with their site contact, and to align on which problems are in scope.
4 first-person captures attached — environment, whiteboard, documentation, and the specific damaged area — each with the full transcript of what was said at that moment.
Three client-reported issues sorted by likely root cause and impact, with the two items that still need verification explicitly marked as open.
Five actions, each with an owner and a date — linked back to the action items from this morning's meeting so nothing falls between the two.
Nothing dropped between the meeting and the visit
Text, photos and audio are not three separate records — they are three views of the same hour. Nuola keeps them bound together, so a sentence in the report can be traced back to the moment someone said it and the thing you were both looking at.
A memory that gets easier to use, the more you put in it
Recording is the easy part. Nuola's app is built around the harder question: six months from now, how do you find the thing you need in ten seconds?
Search by project, not by date
A reverse-chronological list is a pile. The moment you work on more than one thing, timestamps stop being an index and start being noise. Nuola reads each recording, decides which project it belongs to, and files it — so the same project's meetings, site visits and follow-ups sit on one timeline.
- Auto-archiving by content, always overridable by hand
- Create a project and pull existing recordings into it
- Unfiled recordings collect in one place — never silently lost
- One-line summary per recording, so you can locate without listening
Advice that is grounded in what you actually said
Generic tips do not change behaviour. Nuola works backwards from your real conversations: it shows you the moment, names the pattern, and turns it into a method you own.
Restore the scene
The original words and the captured image, kept in context — so the advice can never drift away from what happened.
Extract the method
Across repeated situations, Nuola generalises the move you keep making into repeatable steps — building a personal playbook that outlives the project.
Coach the growth
Concrete changes to how you negotiate and decide — tracked across projects, so you can see whether you are actually getting better.
A camera on your chest has to earn its place
Four layers, designed so that the people around you are never unknowingly recorded — and so that Nuola itself has nothing worth leaking. Privacy here is a condition of entry, not a feature on a list.
LED recording indicator
Steady when recording, pulsing when capturing. The light cannot be switched off, and covering it stops the recording — anyone nearby can tell what state the pendant is in.
Consent-first recording
Nothing is recorded passively. You press the button, or you say the phrase. Nuola has no ability to decide on its own to start.
On-device face blur
Faces are detected and blurred by the on-board NPU at the moment of capture. What is stored is the scene and the detail — not the people in it.
Local-first processing
Raw audio and video are processed on the pendant. Only transcripts and structured analysis go to the cloud. There is no archive of raw media to breach.

Fair questions
The device
No. Nuola has no passive mode. Recording starts when you press the hardware button, and capture starts when you say the trigger phrase. The LED cannot be disabled and covering it ends the recording, so the state of the pendant is always visible to the people around you.
One number matters: 12 hours or more of continuous recording on a single charge3 — comfortably longer than any meeting day, including the back-to-back ones. The pendant records to its own 32 GB of storage, so battery is the only limit you will notice. A full charge on the magnetic dock takes about 90 minutes, and ten minutes on the dock gives you roughly two hours of recording.
No. Nuola records and stores locally on 32 GB of internal storage, and syncs to your phone or desktop later over Wi-Fi. You can leave your phone in a bag or at your desk for a full day of recording.
Privacy & data
Raw audio and video are processed on the pendant itself. Faces are detected and blurred by the on-board NPU at the moment of capture. Only transcripts and structured analysis are synced — there is no cloud archive of raw footage to be leaked or subpoenaed.
Transcription and summarisation are being validated in English and Mandarin first, in line with our initial North American and Asian launch markets. Additional languages depend on how the validation round goes — tell us which one you need.
Crowdfunding & availability
It is a working prototype, not a shipping product1. We are running this page to validate demand and gather feedback before committing to a crowdfunding launch and a production run. That is exactly why the feedback box above matters more than it usually would.
Yes, almost certainly2. Colours, materials and the cord attachment are all still open. Backers who reserve now will see the design iterations before launch and get a say in the ones that matter most.
