Pocket

Pocket is a credit-card-sized recording device with a single button that captures phone calls, meetings, and in-person conversations, then produces structured AI summaries tailored to the user's role. Founded by Akshay Narisetti and Gabriel Dymowski, Pocket makes a credit card-sized device that attaches to the back of a phone and records conversations offline. The device automatically transcribes meetings, generates summaries, answers questions and pulls out action items. As the launch video shows, a doctor gets a clinical summary, a lawyer gets a legal one, and a student gets study notes, with the device also drafting follow-up emails and populating to-do lists from what was said. The company is built for professionals who work in the real world rather than on Zoom, and the hardware is designed to work without a phone tethered in the moment. Enjoy unlimited transcription in 120+ languages, offline recording, instant summaries, action items, and HIPAA-compliant security. No subscription required, free shipping, and 30-day returns. The device is made by Open Vision Engineering, a San Francisco company in the Y Combinator W26 batch, with backing from Accel and a group of angels. This launch marks a run-rate milestone rather than a product debut. According to the founding team, Pocket has crossed $100M in annualized run rate roughly seven months after hitting $1M, with more than 270,000 devices in circulation. Akshay previously built, Omi, one of the world's largest, open-source AI note-taking devices , and Dymowski previously founded a document management startup, giving the team a mix of consumer AI hardware and software background as the always-on note-taker category gets increasingly crowded.
