🏆 Winner — Hack the North 2023: Best Hack Using Genesys (Genesys API Track)
View on Devpost →
Coffee Copilot helps you capture, summarize, and follow up on meaningful conversations — without ever opening a notes app.
It transcribes your chats, highlights the key points, and even generates context-aware follow-up suggestions, all powered by Genesys Cloud CX APIs, Cohere, and AssemblyAI.
- 🥇 Winner — Best Hack Using Genesys, Hack the North 2023
- Recognized for outstanding integration of Genesys Cloud CX API to enhance real-time human interactions.
Networking is crucial for students, founders, and professionals — but keeping track of every chat is nearly impossible.
We’ve all left events with scattered notes, half-remembered names, and missed opportunities.
Coffee Copilot was built to fix that: a digital co-pilot that listens, remembers, and helps you reconnect more meaningfully.
