Built for meetings on the go.
Coffee with Janice
Highlights
- Janice's director is leaving end of month; Mark from platform is acting director until a backfill, and Janice is worried the Q3 roadmap review will slip.
- Three Q3 candidates on her plate: billing rewrite, self-serve onboarding, and enterprise SSO. She's leaning toward shipping billing + self-serve and pushing SSO to Q4 with a design partner.
- You're adjusting to manager life — calendar pressure is eating IC time. Talked through moving no-meeting blocks from Friday afternoons to Tuesday/Thursday mornings.
- Janice booked a 10-day Lisbon trip for September: solo for the first five days, then Jamie joins. You shared lodging, food, and Sintra recommendations.
Decisions
- Janice will draft the Q3 priorities doc over the weekend and push Mark to bless it Monday rather than waiting for him to drive it.
- Q3 scope: billing rewrite + self-serve onboarding. SSO deferred to Q4, contingent on signing a design partner first.
- You'll move your no-meeting block to Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting next week.
- Lunch confirmed: Thursday, 12:30, ramen place by the park.
Action items
- Janice — draft Q3 priorities doc this weekend; get Mark's sign-off Monday.
- Janice — line up an SSO design partner before any build work starts.
- You — send Janice the Casa do Bairro guesthouse link in Alfama tonight.
- You — send the full Lisbon food list tonight, including vegetarian options for Jamie (Jardim das Cerejas, Time Out Market) and Cervejaria Ramiro for seafood.
- Janice — send a calendar invite for Thursday lunch, 12:30, ramen place by the park.
Open questions
- Who actually backfills Janice's director role, and on what timeline?
- Will Mark agree to the proposed Q3 scope, or push back on deferring SSO?

FAQ
Common questions.
Does it work for in-person meetings?
Yes — that's what Yap Combinator is built for. Open it in any modern browser on your laptop or phone, hit record, and it captures the room. No installs, no extensions, no calendar bot.
Can it tell speakers apart?
Yes. Transcripts are speaker-diarized — each turn is tagged with a speaker label. You can rename speakers afterward, and the names propagate through the transcript and any generated notes.
Are my meetings private?
Meetings, transcripts, and notes are tied to your account and only visible to you, unless you create a share link. Audio is stored encrypted in object storage; transcripts and notes are stored encrypted in Postgres. Yap Combinator never uses your meetings to train any model.
What does it cost?
Yap Combinator is free while it's in active development.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Yap Combinator runs entirely in the browser. Sign in with Google, allow microphone access once, and start recording.
