The context lives in your head
Who pushed back on what, which version they saw, what you promised on the last call. Switch clients five times a day and some of it falls out.
The AI second brain for consultants
Every client, remembered.
Glowstone is like an assistant who has read everything about your practice: every client, every meeting, every decision and every promise. It thinks with the judgment of your sharpest colleague and answers from your own records, so you walk into every call already briefed.
Free, including transcription · Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor · Your notes stay on your Mac
If you’re a consultant, this probably sounds familiar
Notes you never finish
You’re either listening or typing. Write-ups pile up for Friday, and by Friday half the nuance is gone.
Follow-ups that slip
“I’ll send that over by Thursday” is said in passing and lives nowhere. The client remembers. You find out when they ask.
01 · Your business knowledge
Keep every client on record and ask your AI anything about them
Each client gets its own notes: the engagement, the people and what they care about, every meeting, every decision and what you’ve promised. Your agent writes and links them as you work, so they stay current without a filing session.
Then you ask it anything, in plain words, the way you’d ask a colleague who never forgets: what the CFO objected to, when a scope change was agreed, what’s still open before the next steering committee.
- One note per client, person, meeting and deliverable
- Decisions saved with the why and the date
- Answers that cite the note they came from
Example
It’s Thursday afternoon. Acme’s CFO has a steering committee tomorrow and you haven’t touched that engagement in nine days.
Brief me on Acme: where we are, what Hannah objected to, and what I owe her.
- ✓Reads the engagement note, the last two meetings and Hannah’s note
- ✓Pulls out the open objection and the promise you made
- ✓Checks deliverables/ for the draft you started
What you get
A five-line brief: status, Hannah’s churn objection, the revised model due Friday and where the draft is. Two minutes instead of thirty.
04An answer that comes from your records, not a guess.
02 · Meetings
Record client meetings and ask questions live, with the meeting and the client’s history as context
Start recording from the tab at the top of your screen. No bot joins the call, so nothing changes for the client: Glowstone hears your microphone and what your Mac plays, and transcribes it on your Mac.
When a question comes up you can’t answer from memory, ask the tab mid-call. The answer comes from the conversation so far and from everything you already know about that client. Afterwards, Process files the decisions, the people and the follow-ups into the right notes.
- No bot in the call, nothing for the client to accept
- Ask mid-call, with the client’s history behind the answer
- Process turns the transcript into decisions and follow-ups
Example
Mid steering committee, the CFO asks a number from a workshop three weeks ago.
What did the September workshop say about churn by region?
- ✓Reads the transcript of the call so far
- ✓Opens the Sep 18 workshop notes
- ✓Answers with the figure and where it came from
What you get
You answer on the spot with 6.1% vs 3.4%, instead of “I’ll get back to you”.
04An answer you can use before the pause gets awkward.
03 · Every day
Use it all day: capture what’s on screen, jot notes and ask from any app
Most of the value comes from small moments, dozens of times a day. Glowstone hangs from the top of your screen in every app: bring the pointer up, ask, jot something down or attach what’s on screen, and get back to work.
Away from the desk, a voice note to your own Glowstone bot on Telegram does the same. Everything lands in the same memory.
- The tab, over any app
- Screenshots it understands: “add this to…”
- Telegram from your phone
- The tabTwo minutes before a call
What did we leave open with Northwind last time?
Three open points and who owes what, while the call connects.
- Attach a fileA client sends a 30-page statement of work

- Search ⌘FYou remember a phrase, not the meeting
“regional churn”
The workshop note and the line it’s on, in a second.
03It reads the screenshot and files what matters.
04 · Routines
Schedule routines: your AI sends you a weekly summary of every client on its own
Tell your agent, once, what you want to know and when: “every Friday at four, go through every client and tell me what’s due, what’s waiting and what I haven’t invoiced”. At that time it starts the conversation on its own.
When there’s nothing to say, it stays quiet. Routines run while Glowstone is open on your Mac.
- Set in plain words, no forms
- It starts the conversation, you don’t
- Silent when there’s nothing to report
Example
Friday, and five clients each have something pending.
Once: “every Friday at four, tell me what’s due, waiting and not invoiced across clients.”
- ✓Writes the routine into your workspace
- ✓Every Friday at 16:00, reads every client’s notes
- ✓Opens a conversation with what needs you
What you get
Nothing slips into Monday: the overdue reply to Sophie and the unsent invoice show up before the weekend.
02A normal chat: reply to it, ask more, or let it be.
Bring your own AI
Use your Claude or ChatGPT plan as an assistant for consultants
Glowstone doesn’t sell its own AI. Sign in with the agent you already use, on the plan you already pay for, and it gets your notes, your meetings and your tools. Switch agents any time: the memory stays.

05 · Tools & connectors
Connect Notion, Slack, Stripe and more, so your AI can read and update them for you
Most tools you work in today can be connected to an AI agent, through what are called MCP connectors. Tell Glowstone which ones you use and your agent sets them up with you, in the conversation: it looks for the official connector, adds it, and walks you through signing in. No settings screen, no developer needed.
From then on it can read them and, where the tool allows it, act in them: create and update tickets, write pages, draft emails, check a customer’s invoices. Every action shows up in the chat, and it only reaches what your own account can.
- Connected in the conversation, guided step by step
- Reads and, where allowed, writes in your tools
- Every action visible in the chat
NotionRead and write client pages, task lists and meeting notes- SlackRead channels and post updates (with a token)
StripeCheck invoices and what each client has paid
Jira & ConfluenceRead and create issues and pages, in clients that use Atlassian
LinearRead and create issues for client projects
Calendar & emailRead your day and draft emails, through community connectors
Google DriveFind and read client documents
AsanaRead and update client projects and tasks
Hundreds of tools have a connector today. These work too, through official or community connectors:
- monday.com
Xero- Canva
- Amplitude
Zapier- + More tools
And through Zapier’s connector, thousands of apps more. If a tool has no connector, your agent tells you, and writes it down.
Example
Every client lives in a different tool: one in Notion, one in Jira, one in email.
What’s open for Globex in their Jira, and what did we promise them last week?
- ✓Reads Globex’s Jira issues through the Atlassian connector
- ✓Reads last week’s meeting note
- ✓Matches promises against open issues
What you get
One view across their tool and your notes: two promises without an issue yet, which you create on the spot.
03Done, and it tells you what it did.
Speak instead of typing, about three times faster
Hold a key and talk: to your agent, or into any app. Whisper transcribes it on your Mac, free and offline, and spells your clients’ and colleagues’ names right.
Everything else Glowstone does
The same app, with the same memory behind every part. Each one has its own guide, step by step.
The tab
Your agent hangs from the top of the screen in every app. Ask or jot something down without switching windows.
Connectors, step by step
How your agent finds, adds and signs in to a connector, and keeps a list of what you use.
Search & spaces
Find anything by what was said, and keep work and personal life in separate folders.
Bring your memory
Start with what ChatGPT or Claude already know about you, or your Obsidian vault.
Telegram
Text or send a voice note from your phone, and it’s filed by the time you’re back.
Private by design
Notes are files on your Mac. No Glowstone account or server: only the agent you choose reads them.
A consultant’s day with Glowstone
- The morning routine lists today’s client calls and what’s due.
- Steering committee with Acme. Recorded from the tab, a question answered mid-call.
- Process: decisions and follow-ups filed into Acme’s notes.
- The proposal for Globex, dictated instead of typed.
- Before a Northwind call: “what did we leave open last time?”
- The weekly wrap-up across every client, and what isn’t invoiced.
Things you could ask it
- “What’s open with each client, and who is it waiting on?”
- “What did we agree with Acme about scope in September?”
- “Prepare me for the Northwind call in ten minutes.”
- “Draft the steering committee summary from today’s meeting.”
- “Which deliverables are due this week?”
- “What hours or work haven’t I invoiced yet?”
Your notes stay yours
Everything is plain Markdown in a folder on your Mac. There’s no Glowstone account and no Glowstone server, so we can’t read your notes, your chats or your meetings. Only the AI agent you choose reads what it needs to answer, under your own account.
Who can see what →Questions from consultants
Can I keep clients separate?
Yes. Each client can have its own notes inside one workspace, or you can use separate spaces: each space is its own folder with its own conversations, and the agent in one never sees the other.
Does the client see a bot in the call?
No. Glowstone listens on your Mac: your microphone for you, the system audio for everyone else. It works with any call app because it never joins the call. Recording people is regulated in many places, so tell them first.
Where does client information go?
Your notes are files on your Mac and Glowstone has no server that receives them. When you ask something, the agent you chose (for example Claude Code, from Anthropic) reads the notes it needs to answer, under your own account. Transcription and dictation run on your Mac.
Is it free?
Glowstone is free, and so is transcription and dictation. The agent you chat with uses your own plan with its provider, as it does today.
Can I use my Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Yes. Glowstone doesn’t sell its own AI: it works with the agent you already pay for. Claude Code runs on your Claude plan, Codex on your ChatGPT plan and Cursor on your Cursor plan. OpenCode and Kilo Code can use free models. Glowstone gives that agent your notes, meetings and tools, and takes no cut.
