Littlebird and Echo Integration Overview

You're troubleshooting integrations. You need to verify Littlebird can reach an external service, so you open Echo, type a test command, wait for the response. The round trip takes focus and a manual check.

Littlebird can ping Echo from Chat. You ask, you get confirmation. No app-switching, no manual verification step. The Echo integration exists to test connectivity: that's the entire capability set.

What Littlebird finds

Pays attention to your active window

Littlebird reads the text and elements of your active window via macOS accessibility permissions. It captures what's on your screen every few seconds and builds a private, encrypted index. It's not a screen recorder. No video, no screenshots. It's not a keylogger. It's designed to ignore password fields, and password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden are auto-excluded by default. Credit card numbers and API keys are auto-redacted before storage.

Transcribes your meetings without a bot

Littlebird transcribes meetings in real time, on your computer, without joining the call or announcing itself. The transcript becomes part of your searchable memory.

Lets you ask your memory later

You can ask Littlebird what happened in a meeting, what someone said in a thread, or where a decision was made. The answer comes from your real work: the meetings it transcribed, the windows it saw, the context it captured.

What Littlebird does

Ping Echo to verify the connection

Littlebird can ping Echo to verify the connection is live, so when you're troubleshooting integrations or confirming Littlebird can reach an external service, you ask in Chat and get confirmation. This is a diagnostic capability. Echo does not store data, surface work artifacts, or tie into a workflow. It exists to test the pipe.

All the content I produce starts with Littlebird. It sits in the background, capturing the conversations that matter, so nothing gets lost in the details of a meeting or the bottom of my inbox.

How it works

Littlebird does not index Echo proactively. Echo is query-on-demand: when you ask Littlebird to ping Echo, it calls the Echo API at that moment. The ping is a write action (sends a test request), not a read (does not retrieve data). You get confirmation in Chat.

Littlebird also works on its own, without integrations, paying attention to your active window and transcribing meetings without a bot on the call. You control what it does. Pause context collection, exclude apps, or delete your data at any time. Nothing is collected without your permission.

Privacy

The app runs on your computer. The memory it builds is encrypted and stored in the AWS cloud.

Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). AWS KMS manages encryption keys.
SOC 2 certified, independently audited. GDPR and CCPA compliant data handling policies.
Littlebird never sells your data and never trains models on your data.
Delete your data, or your entire account, at any time.

Why would I use the Echo integration?

You're troubleshooting connectivity or confirming Littlebird's integration layer is working. Ping Echo in Chat, get confirmation, no app-switching.

Does Littlebird capture Echo content?

No. Echo is a test endpoint with no content to capture. The ping capability is query-on-demand: it runs when you ask, and it does not retrieve data.
