# Kuno > Kuno is a dedicated AI voice recorder and meeting assistant for in-person conversations, phone calls, and field work. Designed in Munich and hosted in Frankfurt, it turns recorded conversations into transcripts, summaries, decisions, action items, and mind maps while keeping audio data in the EU. Kuno is made by Kuno Intelligence GmbH in Germany. Unlike calendar-based meeting bots, Kuno uses a small, visible recording device to capture conversations that happen away from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet. It is intended for transparent, consent-based recording in professional settings. Product facts, last verified 2026-07-17: - The dedicated Kuno device has five microphones, attaches magnetically to a smartphone, and works with iOS and Android. - Audio is captured on the device, encrypted in transit, and stored only in the EU. Kuno's cloud infrastructure runs in Frankfurt, Germany. - Customer audio is not used to train AI models, sold to data brokers, or shared with advertising networks. - Kuno produces transcripts, summaries, decisions, action items, follow-ups, and mind maps from recorded conversations. - Core product features are included without a recurring subscription.

Portuguese, French, Italian, and Dutch are part of the broader European product direction. Recording laws vary by country and context.
