1-line
Ascolio is an on-device AI coach that listens to your real conversations and tells you what really happened — how you sounded, who manipulated you, every promise that was made.
3-line
Ascolio is the first consumer AI app that combines a real-life speaker coach, a manipulation pattern detector, and long-term conversation memory — all running 100% on your phone, no cloud. It's built for the moments you can't replay: the meeting that didn't go well, the date that felt off, the chat with mom that always ends in an old fight. While Plaud transcribes and Yoodli runs roleplays, Ascolio is the only app coaching you on what actually happened in your life.
for a tech audience
Ascolio stitches together whisper.cpp transcription, on-device LLMs (Gemini Nano on Android, Apple Foundation Models on iOS, MLC-Llama 3.2 fallback), and local sqlite-vec embeddings to deliver real-time conversational intelligence with zero cloud dependency. The app's value prop — privacy by architecture, not promise — is technically defensible because the entire pipeline runs on the device.
for a lifestyle audience
Ascolio is the friend in your pocket who actually pays attention. It hears the gaslighting you missed, remembers what your mother said in october, and tells you — kindly but honestly — when you sounded smaller than you are. It's like a therapist for your conversation life, and it lives entirely on your phone.
founder quotes — use freely
“i built ascolio because i kept walking out of conversations and forgetting what was actually said. it's not transcription. it's the friend who remembers for you.”
— marwan samir, founder
“your audio never leaves your phone. that's not a marketing line — it's how the app is architected. transcription, analysis, memory — all on-device.”
— marwan samir, on privacy
“yoodli abandoned consumers for enterprise. plaud is a recorder. nobody is coaching real people on real conversations. that's the door we walked through.”
— marwan samir, on the market
