Beyond The Weather: Ulla, Your Secure AI Assistant for Meeting Intelligence

In our previous blog post we explained how our Ulla, our AI weather assistant can be a valuable tool for understanding the weather, and planning everything from a weekend getaway to optimizing your daily commute. In this article we explain another feature of Ulla that acts as a secure and feature-rich meeting assistant.

At OpenWeather, we have leveraged our extensive and industry-leading experience in weather data analysis to develop Ulla, an AI assistant designed to help professionals efficiently extract key insights from both live meetings as well as recordings. This is particularly useful in security-sensitive sectors such as legal, government, finance, and healthcare, where securely managing and analyzing large volumes of data can be especially challenging with existing public cloud solutions.

Users have the ability to host Ulla on their own existing private or on-site cloud infrastructure, or with OpenWeather’s secure platform. With Ulla, your data is kept safe and private at all times.

Security: The Foundation of Ulla

For many organizations and individuals, security is paramount. A law firm handling confidential client information, a government agency dealing with classified data, or a financial institution managing sensitive transactions all require absolute assurance that their data is protected. Ulla was built with this in mind, understanding that you need complete control. We offer a range of deployment options to meet your specific security requirements:

• Ulla Cloud Service: Benefit from the convenience of a cloud-based solution, with robust encryption and access controls managed by OpenWeather's expert security team.
• Ulla Private Server: Deploy Ulla on your own dedicated server, providing an extra layer of isolation and control.
• Your Own Cloud: Leverage your existing cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to host Ulla, maintaining your full control over your data environment and networking.
• Your Own Server: For the highest level of security and compliance, install Ulla directly on your on-premise servers, completely behind your firewall.

This flexibility ensures that regardless of your industry or regulatory landscape, Ulla can be configured to meet your most stringent security demands. Your data remains under your control, encrypted both in transit and at rest. Access is strictly managed, ensuring that only authorized personnel can interact with your sensitive information.

Unlocking the Power of Your Meetings and Documents

Ulla's capabilities extend far beyond basic transcription. While it excels at accurately transcribing meetings or from uploaded video/audio files (identifying speakers and supporting multiple languages), its true power lies in its AI-driven analysis.

For example, where a legal team is preparing for a complex case. Instead of manually reviewing hours of client meeting recordings, they can simply ask Ulla, "What were the key objections raised by the opposing counsel?" or "Summarize the witness's testimony." Ulla instantly extracts the relevant information, saving valuable time and resources.

Another example might be a media company producing a new documentary series. The production team can use Ulla to quickly analyze hours of interview footage, identifying key soundbites and trends in the discussions. They could ask Ulla, "Find all the times where the interviewee discusses climate change," or "Summarize the interviewee's perspective on renewable energy." This drastically reduces the time spent manually reviewing footage, allowing the team to focus on creative storytelling.

Ulla seamlessly joins your meetings, providing those invited with an accurate transcript. She can generate key topics, action items, and summarize the conversation. You can even ask the Ulla chatbot anything about a specific meeting. Find decisions made, track deadlines, or list assigned tasks.

Ulla can generate concise summaries tailored to your specific needs. Choose from ready-made templates or create your own, and even adjust the tone (formal, informal, etc.) to match your audience. Action items, key topics and decisions are tracked.

Seamless Integration and Comprehensive Data Analysis

Ulla is designed to integrate with the tools you already use, connecting to your video conferencing platforms, calendars, and CRM systems such as Slack, Clio, Salesforce, and ClickUp. This integration streamlines your workflow, linking meeting insights directly to your client and project records, ensuring that crucial information is readily accessible where you need it.

But Ulla's analytical power isn't limited to meetings. It can reason across a wide range of data sources, including policies, product descriptions, documents, and presentations. This ability to "talk to your data" allows you to search across your entire knowledge base by simply asking questions, either through text or voice.

Managing your data is also streamlined with the Ulla dashboard. Here you can upload video and audio files, view meeting scripts, configure email notification settings, view your calendar, chat with Ulla, and configure your Ulla dashboard configurations.

A Smarter Way to Work, Securely

Ulla allows your team to work smarter, make better decisions, and maintain the highest levels of security and compliance. She gives you a powerful insight into your organization’s meeting and discussion data, while also giving you the peace of mind that your data will stay private.
