+# Meeting Knowledge Assistant
+
+## Vision
+
+The Meeting Knowledge Assistant (MKA) is an AI-assisted desktop application that records meetings, creates high-quality transcripts and transforms them into structured knowledge.
+
+Unlike traditional meeting assistants, MKA does not aim to replace human interaction during meetings.
+Its goal is to create an accurate, searchable and long-term knowledge base from spoken communication.
+
+The project follows an "AI-first" architecture:
+
+Audio
+→ Transcription
+→ Speaker Identification
+→ AI Analysis
+→ Structured Knowledge
+→ Search
+
+---
+
+## Core Features
+
+- Local audio recording
+- System audio + microphone recording
+- High quality transcription
+- Speaker diarization
+- AI-generated meeting minutes
+- Executive Summary
+- Action Items
+- Decision Tracking
+- Knowledge extraction
+- Local database
+- Full text search
+- Export (Markdown, PDF, DOCX)
+
+---
+
+## Design Goals
+
+- High transcription quality
+- Modular architecture
+- Offline-first whenever practical
+- Replaceable AI components
+- Vendor independence
+- Long-term maintainability
+
+---
+
+## Philosophy
+
+The transcript is the primary asset.
+
+Everything else (summaries, reports, action items, knowledge extraction)
+can always be regenerated using better AI models in the future.
+
+Therefore:
+
+Audio
+→ Transcript
+is considered immutable.
+
+AI output is considered reproducible.
