What it does
Hintly is a Chrome extension for Google Meet that reads the call's live captions and shows short hints when someone mentions a term, acronym, name or thing you may not know. It also flags facts that are clearly wrong, names what a speaker is trying to describe, and reminds you of people, projects and clients mentioned earlier in the call. You switch it on from Meet's toolbar; caption text is not stored by Hintly's server, and in-call notes are cleared when the call ends.

- Live explanations of terms and names. When someone uses a term, acronym or name you don't know, a short explanation appears on screen a moment later. Official source 1 ↗
- Names what a speaker can't recall. If someone can't remember what something is called, Hintly works out what they mean and names it. Official source 1 ↗
- Live fact checking. When a speaker gets a fact clearly wrong, such as a year or an inventor, Hintly shows the correct answer. Official source 1 ↗
- In-call reminders of who's who. People, projects and clients mentioned earlier in the call come back as reminders when they are mentioned again; these notes live in the browser for the length of the call. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
- Hints follow you between tabs. If you switch to your notes or inbox, hints keep appearing in Meet's floating window. Official source 1 ↗
- Works with captions hidden. Hintly asks Meet for live captions even when they are hidden on your screen, so you don't need captions showing. Official source 1 ↗
