How it works

It fits into how you already work.

No new habits. No extra steps. hmm? runs in the background and builds your understanding over time, automatically.

Desktop App

Live meetings, understood

Install once. Then meet as you normally would. hmm? handles the rest.

1

Download and install

Install hmm? on Windows in under a minute. It connects to your system audio. Nothing to configure, no browser extension required.

2

Join your meeting normally

Whatever meeting service you use. hmm? listens in the background while you stay focused on the conversation. No indicator, no interruption.

3

Terms are detected and defined

As technical terms come up, hmm? identifies them, generates plain English definitions, and queues them for your review. No more Googling after the fact.

4

Your glossary grows

Confirm the terms that matter. Over time, your glossary becomes a living reference for your team's specific language: searchable, editable, and always up to date.

Web App

Between meetings, catch up fast

Message threads, incident reports, architecture docs. Paste anything technical and get a plain English breakdown instantly.

1

Paste your text

Copy any technical conversation (a message thread, a PR comment, an incident post-mortem) and paste it into hmm?. No account required to get started.

2

Get a structured summary

hmm? identifies technical terms and produces a plain English breakdown: what happened, why it matters, and what decisions you need to make.

3

Terms feed your glossary

New terms discovered in translations are added to your glossary, reinforcing your knowledge base across both the web and desktop app.
