Radiant is a meeting AI assistant from Supernormal Technologies. Its defining trait is that it never sends a bot into your call. Instead of an unfamiliar recording participant showing up in your Zoom or Google Meet roster, a desktop app running on your machine captures the device audio directly. Once the meeting ends, the conversation is summarized into notes, and the AI drafts the work that normally follows — follow-up emails, proposals, slides, project plans. It launched in September 2025 and is available for both Mac and Windows.
One thing to note: the official URL radiantapp.com now redirects to supernormal.com/desktop-app, and the product is presented under the Supernormal brand. When looking it up, searching for “Supernormal desktop app” is the surest path.
Key Features
- Bot-free meeting capture: No recording bot is invited to the call. The desktop app pulls audio directly from your device, so no third-party “recorder” appears on participants’ screens — useful for external sales calls and casual 1-on-1s alike
- AI-generated deliverables, not just notes: Beyond transcription and summaries, it can produce follow-up emails, campaign briefs, proposals, slides, and calendar invites from the conversation
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) support: Meeting records can be referenced and connected from external tools, so you can pull “what we decided last week” straight into your own AI client
- Runs quietly in the background: The app sits in the background during calls and asks nothing of you, which keeps the per-meeting overhead low
- Project-based organization: Meeting records can be grouped into projects, letting context accumulate per client or initiative
- Mac and Windows: The Mac build requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14.4.1 or later. A Windows build is also distributed

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No recording bot joins the call, so participants are less likely to feel uneasy about being recorded by a stranger in the room
- It does not stop at a transcript — it drafts the emails, proposals, and slides that follow
- MCP support lets you reuse captured meetings from your own AI tooling
- Core capabilities (bot-free notes, document generation, MCP) are available on the free plan
- Always-on and low-friction, so it fits naturally into a daily meeting routine
⚠️ Cons
- A desktop app is required, so it is unusable on phone-only setups or locked-down managed devices
- The Mac build requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14.4.1 or later, ruling out older machines
- With a credit system, heavy AI generation exhausts the free tier (5 daily / 15 monthly) quickly
- Because it captures device audio, you still need to confirm recording policies and obtain consent separately
- The official URL now folds into the Supernormal brand, which makes searching by the Radiant name confusing
Comparison with Similar Services
| Criteria | Radiant | Granola | Otter.ai | Fathom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recording method | Bot-free (device audio) | Bot-free (device audio) | Mostly bot-based | Mostly bot-based |
| Form factor | Mac / Windows app | Mac / Windows app | Web and mobile focused | Web and app |
| Strength | Post-meeting deliverables | Note-augmenting minutes | Transcription and search | Call summaries and CRM |
| Integrations | MCP support | Various integrations | Various integrations | Strong CRM integrations |
| Free plan | Yes (credit-based) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Granola is the closest match in taking the no-bot approach. What sets Radiant apart is that it weighs “producing the next deliverable from the meeting” more heavily than “polishing the minutes.”
Who Is It For
- Sales and consulting professionals with frequent external calls where adding a recording bot feels awkward
- Anyone who writes minutes and a follow-up email after every single meeting
- Creative and planning roles who need to turn discussions into proposals and slide decks faster
- Developers and power users who want to reference meeting records from their own AI tools over MCP
- People working primarily on a Mac or Windows desktop who do not mind installing a resident app
Summary
Radiant commits to two things: capturing meetings without a bot, and converting those captures into finished work. That is a different target from tools competing on transcription accuracy and searchability — the design goes after the clerical work that piles up after a meeting. A sensible approach is to try the free plan, see how fast you burn through credits, and then evaluate a team rollout. Just be aware that visiting the official site takes you to the Supernormal brand.
