A panel with something to quack about
Live context for panels, talks and workshops. A room full of ideas. A little more context.
Research the speakers before the doors open. Follow questions, claims, and ideas while you host, then carry the notes and visuals into your follow-up.
Get for MacCONVOLENS for events
CONVOLENS is a desktop app that listens to an event as it happens. On stage or in the room, it transcribes the conversation, checks claims with sources, suggests the next question for the moderator and turns the discussion into slides, charts and images the audience can see. It works from a room microphone or the event’s stream, with nothing added to the program.
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
In the flow
Prepare the context. Follow the room.
Use chat and your own research to prepare for the event, then follow the ideas and questions that emerge in the room.
Build the event brief
Use Chat to research speakers and topics. Import your run-of-show, speaker bios, and background reading before the event so the session starts with your context.
Keep the room moving
Follow the transcript and suggested questions as you host. Ask for a check, image, or slide when it helps; an operator can support you if needed.
Take the ideas with you
Reopen the session in History, ask Chat about an earlier point, and export or share the Notes and saved visuals you want to use.

How should we connect event audio?
Select microphone, system audio, or both, then test the exact path during rehearsal. CONVOLENS follows that input; separate rooms and breakout groups need their own capture setup.
Who should run CONVOLENS during an event?
A host, moderator, or facilitator can use it directly. In a busy session, an operator can follow the checks, questions, and visuals and pass on what helps.
Can we put a generated visual on a screen?
Yes. Copy or download it from the Feed, or export slides from History, then show it through the event’s existing presentation setup when it serves the conversation.
How does CONVOLENS hear a session in a room?
Through the microphone input you choose, such as a room microphone or a mixer feed. Pick Microphone Only for in-room sessions and System + Microphone when the session also plays through your computer.
Can the audience see what CONVOLENS produces?
Yes, if you share it. Show the slide, chart or image through your display or stream. Nothing is shown automatically.
Which platforms does CONVOLENS run on?
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It needs the microphone permission and, for calls, the system-audio permission. The download page is where a computer installs it. On a phone, tablet, or Chromebook, nothing downloads.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Start free with limited monthly usage. The app shows your current allowance, and you choose a plan in the app.
