Shadow for AI agents
Your meetings, already readable
by your AI agents.
I take meeting notes without joining the call and save every meeting as Markdown in a folder on your Mac: the transcript, your notes, Skill results and the people in the room, plus a guide that tells an agent how it all fits together. Point Claude Code, Codex or Cursor at the folder. No connector, no API key.
Free forever. Includes 2 weeks of Plus, no card required.
Files, not a connector
Your agent gets the files, not a slice of them
Most meeting tools hand AI apps a connector to their cloud. I keep your meetings as files on your Mac, so an agent reads them the way it reads your code.
| Feature | Shadow vault | Meeting-notes connectors (MCP) |
|---|---|---|
| Where your meetings live | A folder on your Mac, or in your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive | The vendor's cloud |
| How an agent reads them | It opens the files, like any other folder | It calls the connector's tools after you sign in |
| What it can read | Every file: full transcripts, notes, Skill results, People pages, screenshots | What the tools return. Granola adds folder and transcript tools on paid plans |
| Setup | None. Point the agent at the folder | Add and authorize the connector in each AI app |
| Reading needs a network | No. The agent's own model may | Yes |
| Also works with | Obsidian, grep, git, Spotlight and any editor | The AI apps that support the connector |
A connector is the right tool for an AI app that can't open local files, such as a chat in your browser. I don't offer one today. Desktop agents read the vault directly.

What your agent finds
A folder an agent can find its way around
Every meeting is a dated folder. Every person has a page that links to their meetings. SHADOW.md, at the top, is a schema guide I write for people and AI agents.
SHADOW.md (excerpt)
Example files. Names and emails are placeholders. The guide text is what Shadow writes today.
Try it
Ask across every meeting you've had
Open a terminal in your vault folder and start your agent. It reads SHADOW.md, then the meetings it needs.
$ cd ~/Documents/Shadow # your vault folder $ claude > Read SHADOW.md. What did we promise Acme in the last three calls? Quote the transcript lines and link each meeting.
The same folder works in Codex, Cursor or any agent that can open it. More to ask:
- “Draft my weekly update from every meeting in Meetings/2026/10.”
- “Which customer calls mentioned the export bug, and who raised it?”
- “Prep me for tomorrow's call with Dana: read her People page and summarize our last two meetings.”
Questions about agents and the vault
No. Your meetings are already plain Markdown files, so any agent that can open a folder can read them, and SHADOW.md tells it how the folder is organized. An AI app that can't open local files, such as a chat in your browser, needs a connector, and I don't offer one today.
Give your agents your meetings.
Download Shadow, take your next call, then point your agent at the folder.
