- Google debuted Google AI Edge Foresight, a macOS note-taking app built for meetings that runs locally on-device instead of relying on cloud processing.
- Google AI Edge Foresight pairs the 740M-parameter EmbeddingGemma 2 embedding model with the Gemma 4 assistant to power its meeting note features.
- The same Google team released an AI-powered dictation tool in April that also worked with local models, making the meeting-notes app the team's second on-device AI release.
Why it matters: By running a 740M-parameter model and the Gemma 4 assistant entirely on macOS, Google extends its on-device AI lineup into meeting assistance without requiring cloud connectivity, following the same team's April launch of a local dictation tool.
