Field notes·Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa

Training you can come back to.

Linda films the moments that matter in each session. They’re filed to your dog, reviewed by Linda, and kept in your private portal for whenever you need a refresher.

Every session, captured. Every clip, private by default. Every lesson, there when you need it.

01 — The idea

Linda records the session. The app files every clip to the right dog, drafts the notes, and keeps it private — until Linda decides exactly who should see it.

02 — How it works

From lead to library in seven calm steps.

  1. 01

    Select the dog

    Search a household, tap the dog, start the session. It stays selected for every clip that follows.

  2. 02

    Record

    The phone camera opens. Linda films the moment — no forms, no fiddling.

  3. 03

    Upload, automatically

    A resumable upload starts the second recording stops — with honest progress if the connection wobbles.

  4. 04

    AI drafts the notes

    A suggested title, summary, transcript and technique tags — with confidence and evidence. Drafts only.

  5. 05

    Linda reviews

    She edits, trims, and chooses exactly who can see it. Nothing is visible until she does.

  6. 06

    Shared privately

    A secure portal link, ready for WhatsApp. Linda sends it herself from her own WhatsApp.

  7. 07

    Revisit anytime

    Owners rewatch, tap timestamps and tick off homework — long after the session ends.

03 — Capabilities

Small tools. Precise, quiet, out of the way.

AI · Drafts onlyNeeds review

Notes that write themselves — and wait for Linda.

Suggested title, summary, transcript and technique tags with confidence and evidence. If there’s no speech, it says so instead of guessing.

Trim to the good bit.

Drag the handles. A new private clip is created — the original stays untouched.

05 — Privacy by default

Every video starts private.

Nothing leaves Linda’s hands until she chooses who can see it — and public use always needs recorded consent.

Permission model

Four audiences. One gate. Every change audited.

AI drafts. Linda decides.

AI never publishes, grants access or identifies people. It suggests; Linda approves.

Links, not loose files

Secure portal links are the default. Attaching a video file is optional — and comes with a warning, because copies can’t be recalled.

Revocable, auditable

Remove a household member and their access ends. Every grant, approval and consent is logged.
