Sloth Notes: an open-source, on-device AI tool that condenses meeting notes

Sloth Notes is a small open-source web app that turns rough English meeting notes into a short, source-linked digest and a list of suggested follow-up actions. Users paste their notes, choose a highlight count, and a compact open embedding model, MiniLM, runs in the browser to pick the most representative sentences. Each highlight links back to its original sentence so readers can verify what was kept or dropped. In one demonstration on a synthetic study-group recap, text shrank from 127 to 59 words in roughly half a second, though the creator stresses this is not a broad benchmark. The project, released under the MIT license with no build step or API key, runs locally and does not send notes to a server, though the model files are downloaded on first use.
