# What Jinn is

> What Jinn does, who it suits, who can see your work, and what you need before you start.

Jinn is an AI workspace for teams. The meetings you hold, the docs you write and what your
customers report all live in one [project](https://docs.jinn.so/projects/manage-projects.md), and AI agents read every bit
of it, each one looking for what matters to its job.

Teams decide things out loud and write them down later, if at all. A week on, the decision gets
reopened, because nobody can say exactly what was settled, who took what, or why the other
option was dropped. Jinn is built so that the conversation is still there when you need it.

## What your team puts in

* **Meetings.** Record any call you're on from the desktop app, without a bot joining: the audio
  comes from your own machine, so Google Meet, Teams, Zoom, Slack and anything else you call
  from all work the same way. Jinn writes out who said what. See
  [recording a meeting](https://docs.jinn.so/meetings/record-a-meeting.md). Already have the call as a file — a Zoom
  export, a voice memo, a video? Upload it from the browser and Jinn reads it the same way. See
  [uploading a recording](https://docs.jinn.so/meetings/upload-a-recording.md).
* **Docs.** Write the spec, the plan or the notes from the call in the same project, in an
  editor your team works in together. Jinn keeps versions as you go, so an afternoon's work is
  never one bad paste away from gone. See [writing a doc](https://docs.jinn.so/docs/write-a-doc.md).

**Coming soon. What your customers report.** Put one snippet on your site and visitors report bugs, ideas
and questions without signing up — a marked-up screenshot, a recording of their screen and
voice, the technical details attached. Each report lands in the project it belongs to, next to
the meetings and docs it's about. See [customer feedback](https://docs.jinn.so/feedback/customer-feedback).

All three end up in the same place, and that's the point. A project holds the conversation, the
written version of it, and what the people outside your team said about it.

## Who reads it

An agent is a role you describe once: a product manager, a QA engineer, a team lead, a
recruiter, a salesperson, or one you write yourself. Put it on a project and it reads every
recording there the way a person in that job would. A product manager watches for decisions and
open questions, a QA engineer for acceptance conditions, and the same forty minutes give each of
them something different. See [agents](https://docs.jinn.so/agents/add-an-agent.md).

What an agent writes about a meeting is a summary, the key points, and the action items somebody
took on.

What a meeting comes back as

Give an agent material to keep in mind and it reads your docs too. Its memory is a doc you can
open and edit, so what your team knew about a project stays with the company when people move
on.

Nothing the AI writes is final. Rewrite a point, delete one that's wrong, tick off an action
item, or throw the whole thing away and have it written again. Your corrections are what
everyone else reads from then on. See [reviewing a meeting](https://docs.jinn.so/meetings/review-a-meeting.md).

## How you get it back

Ask a question in plain words — what did we decide about pricing, who owns the launch — and
choose what Jinn looks through: one recording, one doc, a project, or the whole workspace.
Jinn answers from your team's own meetings and docs. Every answer lists what it drew on, so you
can check it in a click, and when nothing in your workspace matches, the chat says it found
nothing instead of guessing. Bring an agent into the chat
and it answers the way that role would. See
[asking about your work](https://docs.jinn.so/find/ask-a-question.md).

[Search](https://docs.jinn.so/find/search.md) finds a passage by what was said rather than by the exact words, so
a search for pricing turns up the meeting where nobody said the word. Tag the moments you'll
want back and they're one click away afterwards.

The payoff isn't the summary you read today. It's the conversation you get back next quarter
when somebody asks why.

Every step, from pressing record to finding the meeting again months later, is in
[How Jinn works](https://docs.jinn.so/getting-started/how-jinn-works.md).

## Who Jinn suits

Jinn is for teams where the plan changes faster than anyone writes it down. The more of your
work is spoken rather than written, the more there is for Jinn to do.

* **Product and engineering teams** — discovery, planning and reviews, where a decision made on
  a call becomes a ticket somebody else has to write
* **Outsourcing and agency teams** — client calls where what was asked for on Tuesday is the
  scope conversation on Friday, with a different client behind every project
* **Sales and customer teams** — demos, discovery and renewals, where the objection someone
  raised matters more than the call it was raised on
* **Support teams** — customer problems that should reach the product team in one piece, without
  being retold twice
* **HR and recruitment teams** — interview after interview, where every candidate's strengths
  and concerns need writing down and the whole hiring round belongs in one place
* **Accountants and legal offices** — a project per client, with every call, doc and agreed next
  step kept where only the right people can open it
* **Founders and leadership** — investor, hiring and partner conversations nobody has time to
  write up and everybody refers back to

To see a week with Jinn through one job, read [Jinn for your role](https://docs.jinn.so/for/overview.md): QA
engineers, developers, managers, support, sales, recruiters and founders.

A two-person startup and a 500-person company work with the same Jinn: the same meetings,
agents, chat and docs. What differs between two workspaces is how much they record and how much
AI work they run, not which parts of the product they can open.

## Who can see your work

Everything in Jinn lives in a project, and the project decides who sees it.

* A **private** project is visible only to the people added to it. An **open** project is there
  for everyone in the workspace.
* In each project, people have **Full access**, **Can edit** or **Can view**, and each level
  sees and does only what it should.
* Recordings, transcripts, write-ups and customer reports follow the access of the project
  they're in. Search and chat find only what you can already open.
* Recording without a bot means nobody new joins the call. Telling the others you're recording
  is your call to make.
* Transcribing and analysing send the content to an AI provider, and your workspace decides
  whose account they run on — Jinn's own, or provider keys you control.

See [people and access](https://docs.jinn.so/workspace/people-and-access.md) and
[where your data goes](https://docs.jinn.so/workspace/your-data.md).

## What you need before you start

* **A workspace.** Create one when you sign up, then add a project for each client, product or
  stream of work.
* **The desktop app, to record calls.** Jinn runs in the browser for everything else, but
  recording a call as it happens needs the desktop app, on macOS or Linux.
  [Install it](https://app.jinn.so/download), turn meeting notes on in its settings, and on
  macOS allow it to record your screen and audio when the system asks.
* **A few agents.** Start from the ready-made roles, put them on your project, and they write
  their notes on the next recording. See [agents](https://docs.jinn.so/agents/add-an-agent.md).
* **Your AI keys**, if your workspace runs on its own. Add them in workspace settings; until a
  key is there, agents, chat and write-ups have nothing to run on. See
  [How your AI is powered](https://docs.jinn.so/workspace/ai-and-indexing.md).
