Scheduling and meetings decision
timeOS
A capable developer can build a narrow meeting-capture → agent automation flow using hosted STT and LLM APIs within a week, but matching Timeless's enterprise-grade features (SOC2, SLAs, polished cross-platform apps, and broad integrations) is nontrivial — keep paying for full product unless you only need a minimal workflow.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Record meeting audio, transcribe to text, detect 'moment' triggers in transcript, run simple agent actions (send email/create task/upload artifact), surface results in a web UI and send notifications.
What it still won’t have
- SOC 2 compliance and enterprise security guarantees
- Polished multi-platform desktop apps and UX polish
- Guaranteed SLAs, priority support, and dedicated onboarding
- Built-in unlimited integrations and enterprise-grade exports
What remains hard
- Compliance and regulation

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted meeting->agents service using Node.js (Express) backend, React frontend, Postgres for storage, and S3 for artifacts. Core features in scope: 1) record or upload meeting audio (WebRTC + simple upload), 2) send audio to a hosted STT API and store transcripts, 3) detect trigger moments via rule-based NLP (keyword+regex + lightweight intent classifier using an LLM API), 4) run agent actions: send templated emails (SendGrid), create tasks in Notion, and fire webhooks, 5) a web UI to review transcripts and approve/undo agent actions, 6) basic user auth and single-tenant workspace. Out of scope: SOC 2 certification, dedicated enterprise SSO, desktop native apps, and advanced scaling. Include error handling for failed transcriptions and action retries, unit and integration tests for transcription/trigger/action flows, and a README with deployment steps (Docker Compose) and a small Postman collection for the API.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
