Is it safe to use an AI notetaker at work?
Last updated August 17, 2026
An AI notetaker is reasonable to use at work when four things are true: you control when it records, consent is explicit, actions wait for your approval, and deletion genuinely removes your data. Judge any tool against those four. Here is what each condition means, and how Audria answers it.
You control when it records
The first question for any tool is who starts capture and whether its state is visible while it runs. A tool you start yourself, with an honest on screen state, is one you can vouch for to a colleague. In Audria, you tap Start yourself, a call or another app taking the microphone shows a paused pill and banner, and capture never silently continues.
Consent is explicit
The person running the tool should knowingly agree to their words being processed before any of it happens. Audria shows a one time consent sheet before anything you say or type is processed; agreeing resumes the action and declining drops it, and the same consent gates both recording and asking questions of your memory.
Actions wait for your approval
Modern notetakers draft emails and tickets, which means the real risk question is what can run unattended. In Audria, every draft waits in the Today feed, nothing runs until you tap Run, and risky steps require an extra per step confirmation on top of that.
Deletion genuinely removes your data
Check what deletion covers, in writing. In Audria, you can delete any single memory from its detail screen, and deleting your account removes everything once the 30 day grace window completes, including voiceprints and stored audio.
Your workplace policy still applies
Recording norms vary by company and by place, and following them is your responsibility with any tool. Visible capture state and explicit consent make that easier: you can always show a colleague exactly what is happening and when it started.
Frequently asked questions
Can an AI notetaker record without me knowing?
A well designed one cannot. Audria only records after you tap Start, shows a paused pill and banner when a call or another app takes the microphone, and never silently continues.
Can Audria send something without my approval?
No. Every draft waits in the Today feed, nothing runs until you tap Run, and risky steps require an extra per step confirmation.
What happens to my data if I stop using Audria?
Delete your account from Profile. You are signed out everywhere immediately, and after the 30 day grace window completes, everything is permanently removed, including voiceprints and stored audio.
