Littlebird and Claude are built for different jobs. Claude is powerful when you give it the right context through uploads, projects, and prompts. The alternative builds that context for you: it pays attention to the active window you're working in and transcribes your meetings, so the memory is already there when you ask, and Routines can act on it on a schedule.
AI is more useful when it already knows your work
Littlebird learns from everything you see and do on your computer, so you don't have to upload documents or explain the background every time you ask for help.
Littlebird automatically transcribes your meetings and adds them to your memory. No pasting in transcripts or uploading them into projects.
Double-tap Option from any app and Littlebird appears with the context of what you're already working on.

No. Claude has no view of a meeting unless you paste in a transcript or upload a file. Littlebird transcribes by listening along on your computer, with no bot joining as a visible participant, so the call is captured as it happens. That is the practical difference between assembling context by hand and having it collected while the work is going on.
The app pays attention to the active window you're working in, and listens during meetings to transcribe and summarize them. You decide what stays out of view: pause context collection, exclude specific apps and website domains, or delete your data at any time. Password fields are always ignored, and password managers like 1Password are auto-excluded by default.
No. It works automatically by paying attention to your screen, so there is nothing to wire up before it is useful. Integrations are optional and exist for deeper access: connecting Google Calendar helps with scheduling, for example. That is the practical difference from a tool that only knows what you typed into it.
The Basic plan is $0 and includes full context from day one, with limited daily chats, limited active routines, and limited meeting notes. Plus is $17 per month billed annually, or $20 billed monthly, and adds unlimited meeting notes plus enhanced memory. Power is $42 per month with an annual subscription. Pro starts from $100 per month. Actively enrolled students pay $15 per month with a .edu email.
Yes. The Basic plan is free at $0 with full context from day one, so you can run it against real work before paying anything. Plus adds a 14-day free trial on top of that if you want the paid capabilities first. Actively enrolled students get their first two months free and then pay $15 per month with a .edu email.
Mac and Windows, plus iOS and Android companion apps for asking questions away from your desk. The desktop app is the core product, because that is where the active window and your meetings are. The mobile apps read the context already collected on your desktop rather than capturing anything from the phone itself.
The app runs on your computer, and the memory it builds is encrypted and stored in the AWS cloud, US East. Littlebird is SOC 2 certified, with GDPR-aligned and CCPA-aligned data handling, and neither the company nor its underlying model providers train on your work. You can delete everything at any time. Teams that need local-only systems can self-host at the Enterprise tier.
