Why This Matters for Legal Professionals

01

Confidentiality Is Architectural

  • Cloud tools rely on contracts, policies, and trust.
  • Geode relies on where computation happens.

When AI runs on your device, there is no external processing pipeline that could access client conversations — a critical requirement for confidential legal transcription and privileged work.

02

Predictable Costs, No Usage Pressure

Legal work is not evenly distributed.

  • Cloud pricing penalizes heavy usage with caps, overages, or tier upgrades — especially for transcription-heavy workloads.
  • Geode does not meter minutes, tokens, or summaries.

Record one meeting or one hundred — the cost does not change.

03

Control Without Compromise

Geode is designed for professionals who cannot risk accidental disclosure.That includes:

  • Client interviews
  • Internal strategy discussions
  • Partner meetings
  • Sensitive HR or personnel conversations
  • Financial and litigation planning

For teams seeking transcription software for lawyers that prioritizes confidentiality, architecture matters more than feature checklists.
