The problem

The deck was never the problem. The forgetting is.

Version 14 of the same deck

One project, a folder of copies, and nobody sure which one the room saw.

The write-up that never happens

Six things discussed. One thing written down. A week later, everyone remembers a different decision.

The next meeting starts from scratch

Three reviews in, the deck has moved on but the context hasn’t.

Arclio keeps the presentation and the meeting together.

Between two tools

A slide tool forgets the meeting. A note-taker forgets the deck.

Arclio is the two together, for the project that comes back.

Keynote, PowerPoint and Google Slides are still where you make a keynote. Arclio is for the project you present to the same people until it ships.

Build

Spend the time on what you’ll say, not on the slides

Start with a template, describe what you need, or bring in a presentation you already have. The layouts keep everything aligned, so the deck is ready in an afternoon and still looks designed.

  • Start without a blank pageSix starting decks. Seventeen layouts, each with a prompt that says what it’s for. Or bring in a PowerPoint or a PDF and keep working from there.
  • Keep the proof next to the claimPin Figma files, Loom recordings, websites, PDFs and images to the slide they back up. Open them in the meeting, the moment the question lands.
  • A portfolio on one slideA gallery of pictures and video, as a carousel or a bento wall. Videos play quietly and get their sound when you hover; click one and it fills the screen.
The Arclio builder: a gallery of nine checkout screens on a full-bleed slide, shown as the bento wall, with the deck's pictures listed in the rail beside it
The builder: a gallery on one slide as the bento wall, and the deck’s pictures in the rail
Present mode with the Panel peeked over the right edge of the slide: the pinned picture first, then the deck's resources, one click away
Present mode: the Panel peeks over the slide with everything you attached

Present

When the room changes direction, go with it

Someone wants the prototype. Someone else wants slide 12. Open it, talk it through, and step back into your plan with one key.

  • Everything you attached, one key awayThe files for this slide first. R peeks, again goes full, B returns to the plan. Paste a link to show a page that isn’t in the deck yet.
  • A second screen, or a window shared into the callYour notes, the next slide and the timer stay with you on Zoom, Meet or Teams.
  • Feedback as it happensOne line, Enter, done. Every line remembers the slide that was on screen.

Summarize

Leave the meeting with the write‑up already done

End the session and Arclio writes the Summary on your Mac: what was discussed, what was decided, who owns what, and what happens next. About 90 seconds for an hour-long meeting on an M1 Mac with 16 GB.

  • DecisionsWhat the room agreed, in the words it was agreed in.
  • ActionsWho owns what, and when. A name only when you typed it.
  • FeedbackGrouped by theme, tied to the slide that was on screen.
  • Next sessionOpen questions and a suggested goal, carried forward. Edit any line, then export as Markdown or PDF.
EXAMPLE SUMMARY
Checkout redesign · Design review48 minOnlinePriya, Dan, Sam, Jo

Cart step approved; address step goes one more round

The room approved the three-step checkout and the new cart step as shown. The address step drew the most discussion and goes one more round so that address lookup lands with it rather than after it. Ops asked for the empty states before the final screens. Nobody argued for keeping the gift options on the payment step.

Feedback

  • Returning buyers should land on step two, with the saved address shown. One page or three steps · @Priya
  • The postcode lookup has to be there at beta or the address step will look unfinished. The address step, before and after

Decisions

  • Checkout ships as three short steps, not one page.
  • Gift options move to the receipt.

Actions

  • Send the empty states for the address step to Ops. Maya · due Sep 17
  • Confirm the postcode service date. Dan · due Sep 19

Where the room pulled away

The address step, before and after. Four minutes on whether address lookup is a beta blocker. Settled: it is.

Next session

Suggested goal: sign off the address step with lookup in place, and set the beta date. Carry forward: empty states, saved cards on the first step.

Every claim in a real Summary comes from the transcript or from what you typed.

The Arc

Every meeting adds to the story

Each session stays with its Summary and the deck as it was that day. Your next session starts with the goal and the open items already there.

That’s the Arc: the project’s memory, in order, in your own folder.

  • The next session starts from the lastThe goal and the open items are filled in before you begin, and the deck as it was that day is kept as a version you can go back to.
  • Story so farOne document from every Summary: how the project was framed, what changed, what was decided, what is open. It reads like a case study, for a town hall, a hand-over or a portfolio.
A session's Summary as a page: the headline, the paragraph for the people who were not there, and feedback by theme with the slide each line points at
A session in the Arc: the Summary, editable, with export to Markdown or PDF
The Coaching page: score, pace and fillers across runs as tiles with a trend line, and each coached rehearsal as a card with its headline
Coaching: the trend across runs, and a report on each

Rehearse

Practice before you present

Run through the deck on your own. Arclio measures your timing, pace, fillers and pauses, then shows you what you skipped and quotes what you actually said.

  • Every number is measuredTime per slide, words a minute, fillers and the longest pause, from your recording, never estimated.
  • Every quote is checkedVerbatim, from what you said. If it can’t prove a point, it doesn’t make it.

Questions

Good to know

Does it work offline?

Yes. After the models download once, you don’t need a connection. Presenting, listening, the Summary and the coach all run on your machine.

Can it listen to a Zoom, Meet or Teams call?

Yes. An online session captures the call’s audio along with your microphone. A recording indicator stays on screen for as long as it records, and you’re asked to tell the room.

Does it know who said what?

Only when you tell it. Type @Priya in front of a line during the meeting and it stays attached. It never guesses a name.

How long does the Summary take, and how good is it?

About 90 seconds for an hour-long meeting on an M1 Mac with 16 GB. It’s written from the transcript and from what you typed, and it says plainly when the recording was too thin to say more. Everything is editable.

Where is my data?

In a folder you choose on first launch, as plain files: one folder per deck with its sessions, transcripts and Summaries. Point it at iCloud Drive or Dropbox to take it between machines.

Can I bring in my Keynote or PowerPoint deck?

Yes. Drop in a PowerPoint or a PDF and it comes in laid out; Keynote and Google Slides get there through their PowerPoint export. A deck goes out as a PDF or a PowerPoint.

Which computers does it run on?

A Mac with Apple silicon, M1 or later, on macOS 14 or later; 16 GB recommended, Intel Macs aren’t supported. About 6 GB of models download once at first launch. Windows is coming.

Lost your key?

Enter the email you bought with on the resend page and it’s sent again.
