But even the most capable AI depends on having access to the right information at the right moment.
So what if you could bring that advantage into your everyday calls — using the knowledge and experience you have already built, without routing everything through someone else's cloud platform first?
That's the idea behind Haide AI Call Assistant, a real-time call assistant that runs locally on Windows.
Quick facts:
- One-time price: $30 AUD — no monthly or yearly subscription
- 30-day free trial
- Runs locally on Windows; you connect your own AI provider keys
- Uses semantic search across your own documents during live calls
- Currently optimized for English-language calls
Use AI to Make Yourself More Competitive
As AI becomes more capable, the goal shouldn't be to compete against it. It should be to use it to make ourselves more capable and more competitive.
Haide AI Call Assistant is built to help with exactly that.
During an important call, you may already know the answer — but finding the right information at exactly the right moment can be difficult. You may be nervous, under pressure, distracted, or simply having a bad day.
Sometimes the best opportunities arrive when we feel the least prepared.
Don't let the right opportunity pass you by just because it comes at a challenging moment.
Haide AI Call Assistant works alongside you during a call, helping you search your own knowledge and surface relevant information when you need it — whether that's a job interview, a sales call, or a support conversation.
Your Knowledge Is Your Advantage
Haide AI Call Assistant uses semantic search to search through your knowledge base.
Instead of relying only on exact keyword matches, semantic search considers the meaning behind a question and looks for information that's relevant to it.
For example, imagine an interviewer asks:
"Tell me about a difficult integration project you worked on."
Your notes don't need to contain those exact words. Relevant information might be stored under a project description discussing system integration, APIs, IoT devices, cloud services, or technical challenges.
Semantic search can surface that related knowledge automatically.
Your documents, experience, procedures, notes, FAQs, project examples, and accumulated expertise can become a searchable source of assistance during your calls — think of it as a fast, intelligent search capability across your own knowledge bank.
The knowledge is already yours. Haide AI Call Assistant helps you find it when it matters.
That can provide something extremely valuable during an important conversation: confidence. Confidence when you're nervous. Confidence when you're under pressure. And confidence when you know you have the knowledge but can't quite recall a detail at that moment.
How Haide AI Call Assistant Is Different From SaaS Call Assistants
Most AI call assistants — tools like Otter.ai, Fireflies, or Gong — are delivered as fully hosted SaaS platforms, where the provider's infrastructure sits between you and the underlying AI services.
Haide AI Call Assistant takes a different approach:
| Typical SaaS call assistant | Haide AI Call Assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Provider's cloud platform | Locally on your Windows PC |
| Knowledge documents | Uploaded to the provider's servers | Stored and managed on your own machine |
| AI provider | Chosen and billed by the provider | You configure your own AI provider keys |
| Pricing | Recurring monthly/yearly subscription | One-time purchase, no subscription |
Haide AI Call Assistant runs as an application on your Windows PC. Your knowledge documents are managed through the application, and you configure your own AI provider credentials. When cloud AI services are required, Haide AI Call Assistant communicates directly with the providers you configure, rather than routing your calls and knowledge through a Haide-operated AI processing backend.
This distinction matters because your knowledge base can represent years of experience, expertise, research, and hard work — and your conversations may contain information you consider sensitive. In a job interview, your preparation material might include details about your experience, the company you're applying to, and examples from your career. In a business setting, your knowledge could include product information, internal procedures, technical documentation, or sales material.
Information is one of the most valuable assets in today's world. Haide AI Call Assistant is designed to help you benefit from AI while keeping more control over how that information is handled.
A Note About Cloud AI Providers
Haide AI Call Assistant is not an entirely offline system. Features such as live transcription and AI-generated suggestions rely on third-party AI providers that you configure yourself. Relevant audio, text, or context is sent directly to those providers when their services are used, and is subject to their respective terms, privacy policies, and data-handling practices.
The local-first approach is about avoiding an unnecessary extra AI-processing layer operated by Haide — not a claim that cloud AI can be used without any data reaching the cloud.
Setting Up Haide AI Call Assistant
Because Haide AI Call Assistant runs locally on Windows, initial setup requires a few steps, including configuring call-audio routing.
Haide AI Call Assistant uses VB-CABLE to route the caller's audio so it can be captured and processed by the application.
That may sound technical at first, but the Haide Setup Guide walks through the process step by step — from installing VB-CABLE and configuring Windows audio, to adding your AI provider keys, preparing your knowledge documents, and running your first test call.
Once configured, Haide AI Call Assistant works alongside the calling applications you already use — Zoom, Teams, MicroSIP, Webex, or browser-based calls — while you focus on the conversation.
Pricing: No Subscription
Haide AI Call Assistant has no recurring subscription fee.
- 30 days free to try it and decide whether it's useful for you
- After the trial, a one-time payment of $30 AUD
- No monthly fee, no yearly fee — you purchase the application rather than renting access to it
Third-party AI services are separate. Providers used for transcription and AI suggestions may charge for usage according to their own pricing. Those provider costs aren't included in the Haide purchase price and are billed directly by the respective providers — which means you're paying provider rates directly, with no markup and no middle layer taking a cut. Haide AI Call Assistant is built around providers selected for low-cost usage, and because you bring your own API key for them, you stay in full control of your AI costs: you see their pricing directly, and you're never paying more than the provider's own rate for the usage.

Your Knowledge. Your AI. Your Advantage.
AI isn't going away. The more important question is how we choose to use it.
We can treat AI as another tool that separates us from our own information, or we can use it to strengthen the knowledge and experience we already have. Haide AI Call Assistant is built around the second idea — combining real-time call assistance with semantic search across your own knowledge, so you have support when the circumstances aren't perfect.
Use AI to become more capable. Keep control of your knowledge. Stay competitive.
