Pique Mobile FAQs

Pique is an AI note-taker and meeting companion. It records and transcribes your meetings, generates smart prep briefs before meetings, recaps after them, and extracts action items — all in one place.

Absolutely. You don't need to connect a calendar at all. You can create notes, record audio, and use AI-generated notes independently. Calendar integration unlocks additional features like pre-reads and event-linked recording, but it's entirely optional.

Yes. You can download Pique for Mac from within the app via the "Get Desktop App" screen.

Yes. The app supports tablets with a responsive layout that adapts to larger screens, including centered content and adjusted spacing.

Pico is your AI-powered capybara companion inside Pique. Pico isn't just a mascot — Pico is your meeting copilot, chat assistant, brief writer, and focus buddy all in one. You'll meet Pico during onboarding, and from then on Pico is woven throughout the entire experience.

Pico wears many hats:

• Chat assistant: Ask Pico questions about your meetings, notes, people, and action items. Pico searches your entire workspace to find answers.
• Brief writer: Pico generates your Daily Recap and Tomorrow's Prep briefs.
• AI-generated notes: Pico structures and cleans up your raw notes and transcriptions into organized AI Notes.
• Action item extraction: Pico identifies action items from your meetings and notes.
• Reminders: Pico can remind you about action items at a time you choose.
• Focus companion: Pico cheers you on during Pomodoro sessions and reacts to your productivity on the Activity screen.

You can sign in with your Apple account (iOS) or Google account. After signing in, a short onboarding flow walks you through setting up your role, preferences, notifications, and calendar connection.

Yes. Go to Settings and tap "Restart Onboarding" to walk through the setup steps again.

It's not required, but highly recommended. Connecting your calendar lets Pique show your upcoming meetings, generate pre-read briefs with attendee context, and display the record button ahead of meetings automatically.

Pique has three main tabs at the bottom of the screen:

1. Events (Home): Your calendar events, briefs from Pico, and the daily greeting.
2. Notes: All your notes organized by date, with collections and search.
3. Action Items: Tasks extracted from meetings or created manually, with status tracking.

The button in the bottom-right corner is a split button. The left side performs a quick action based on your current tab — Record on Events, New Note on Notes, or New Action Item on Action Items. The right side ("+" icon) opens a menu with all three options regardless of which tab you're on.

On the Events tab, Pico is at the top of the screen. On the Notes and Action Items tabs, a floating Pico button (capybara face) appears in the bottom-left corner. Tap Pico from any tab to open the chat.

Yes. For meetings that are about to start or currently happening, you can slide to record directly on the event card. If you've already started a note for that meeting, a resume button appears instead.

If a recording is active on the Pique desktop app, the event card will show a desktop recording indicator so you know it's already being captured.

Pull down on the home screen to refresh and sync the latest events from your Google Calendar.

There are several ways:

1. Slide to record on an event card when a meeting is about to start or is in progress.
2. Tap the Record option from the floating action button (+) menu on any tab.
3. Open or create a note and start recording from within the note editor.

The record button appears based on your "Record Button Lead Time" setting (found in Settings under Recordings). You can choose 2, 5, 10, or 15 minutes before the meeting's start time.

Yes. While recording, the recording dock at the bottom of the screen has play/pause controls. You can pause, resume, and stop the recording at any time.

When you're recording, a dock appears at the bottom of the screen showing elapsed time, a live audio waveform, and controls. You can expand it to see the full live transcript with speaker identification, and search within the transcript.

Pique uses real-time streaming transcription. As you record, your speech is transcribed live and appears in the recording dock. Transcripts are automatically timestamped — tap any part of the transcript to see its timestamp.

Your account has a monthly allowance of transcription minutes. If you're approaching the limit, Pique shows a warning so you aren't caught off guard.

Tap the floating action button (+) on any tab and select "New Note," or tap the primary button when on the Notes tab. This opens a blank note in the editor.

Notes are grouped by date: Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days, and then by month. You can also organize notes into folders.

On the Notes tab, create a new folder from the menu. You can drag to reorder folders, add notes to them, and use folders to filter when searching.

Yes. Use the search feature on the Notes tab to find notes by content. You can filter results by collection.

Swipe on the note in the Notes list to reveal the delete option.

Notes auto-save as you type. There is no manual save button — changes are synced automatically within moments of editing. When you navigate away, any pending changes are saved immediately.

Yes. Tap the title at the top of the note editor to edit it. The title auto-saves just like the note content.

The editor toolbar appears when you start typing and includes: Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Code, Headings (H2, H3), Ordered and Unordered Lists, Blockquotes, and Undo/Redo. You can dismiss the keyboard with the down-chevron button on the toolbar.

AI-Generated Notes

After writing or transcribing a note, you can tap "Create Notes" to have Pico restructure your content into clean, organized notes. Pico generates structured headings, bullet points, and extracts action items.

When you generate AI notes, you choose an outline format:

• Short: 2–4 key bullet points per topic — highlights and decisions only.
• Long: Comprehensive coverage with the full substance of the discussion.

You can also set a default in Settings under Notes: "Ask me" (prompted each time), "Short," or "Long."

Yes. After generating AI notes, tabs appear at the top: "My Notes" (your original) and "AI Notes" (the AI-generated version). You can switch freely — both versions are preserved independently.

Yes. If you've already generated AI notes, the button changes to "Regenerate." You can regenerate with a different outline format (e.g., switch from Short to Long). Your original notes are always preserved as a backup.

Yes. The AI Notes tab is fully editable just like your original notes. Any edits you make to the AI version are saved independently from your original.

Both. You can generate AI notes from any note, whether it came from a voice transcription or was typed manually.

Pico extracts action items during note generation and adds them to your Action Items tab. Each extracted item includes context about where it came from and who it's assigned to (based on meeting discussion).

Mind Map

After generating AI notes, a mind map icon appears next to the "My Notes" and "AI Notes" tabs. You can also see the mind map icon on the Notes tab for notes that have AI-generated notes. Tapping it opens a full-screen interactive bubble visualization of the key concepts from your note, with color-coded branches you can drag and explore.

Before a meeting, Pico generates a brief based on your past notes with the same attendees. It includes a summary of your last meeting, open threads and follow-ups, and context about each attendee (their role, company, key points, and relationship cues).

Tap an event card on the home screen to expand it. You'll see a summary with key details. Tap "View Full Pre-Read" to see the complete brief with attendee profiles and open threads.

The full pre-read has several sections:

• Last Meeting: A summary of what was discussed last time you met with these people.
• Open Threads: Follow-ups, unresolved questions, and action items that are still pending.
• Attendees: For each attendee, you'll see their name, role, company, a short blurb, key context points, and "connection cues" from your past notes.
• Source info: A footer showing when the pre-read was generated and how many past notes it drew from.

Pre-reads are generated based on available meeting data. If a prior meeting with the same attendees hasn't finished yet, the pre-read will become available after that meeting ends.

Pre-reads require prior meeting history with the attendees. If this is your first time meeting with everyone in the group, or if it's a solo event with no other attendees, no pre-read can be generated.

Once all your meetings for the day have ended, Pico generates a recap covering key decisions, action items, and notable outcomes from the day. It appears as a card on the home screen. You can toggle this on or off in Settings under "Pico Briefs."

When your day's meetings are done and you have meetings scheduled for tomorrow, Pico generates a preview briefing covering what to prepare, open threads, and key attendees. Toggle it in Settings under "Pico Briefs."

Yes. When viewing a full brief (Daily Recap or Tomorrow's Prep), tap "Save as Note" at the bottom to create a new note with the brief's content in your workspace.

Action items can come from three sources:

1. AI extraction: Pico automatically pulls action items from your notes and transcriptions when you generate AI notes.
2. Manual text entry: Tap the "+" or pull down on the Action Items tab and type what needs to be done.
3. Voice input: Tap the microphone icon when adding a new item, speak, and Pico will transcribe and parse your speech into one or more suggested action items for you to confirm.

The Action Items screen has two tabs: "Open" shows items that are To Do or In Progress, and "Completed" shows items marked as Done.

There are several ways:

• Tap the status icon on the left of an item to toggle it to Done (with a confetti celebration).
• Swipe left on a To Do item to start it (moves to In Progress).
• Swipe left on an In Progress item to stop it (moves back to To Do).
• Open the detail sheet by tapping the item and use the status controls there.

Yes. You can have up to 3 items In Progress at a time. If you try to start a fourth, you'll see a "Full" indicator. This encourages focus.

Each action item has a priority: Low, Medium, or High. New items default to Medium. You can change priority in the detail sheet using the slider. Priority affects the visual styling of items.

Yes. Tap the item to open the detail sheet, then tap the title to edit it. Changes save automatically.

In the detail sheet, you can break an action item into sub-tasks. Tap "Break it down" and Pico will generate steps for you, or you can create them manually. Each step can be checked off, and you'll see a progress bar showing completion percentage (e.g., "Break It Down - 2/5").

Yes. In the detail sheet, you can set a due date using quick presets (Today, Tomorrow, In 3 days, Next week, In 2 weeks) or pick a custom date. Overdue items are highlighted.

Yes. In the detail sheet, tap the reminder option to have Pico remind you. You can choose preset times (1 hour, tomorrow, etc.) or pick a custom date and time.

Yes. Long-press a To Do item to activate drag mode, then drag it to your preferred position. A swipe hint appears on the first item to help you discover this.

Swipe right on the item to reveal the delete option.

Toggle between viewing all action items in your workspace or only the ones assigned to you. Assignees are determined by Pico when extracting items from meetings (based on who committed to what in the discussion).

• To Do: Items you've manually reordered appear first, then the rest sorted by creation date (newest first).
• In Progress: Sorted by when you started them (most recent first).
• Completed: Sorted by completion date (most recent first).

Items that are In Progress appear in the Pomodoro timer's goal selection screen. You can pick one as your focus goal for a timed work session. There's also a "Start a pomodoro" shortcut in the In Progress section.

Tap Pico at the top of the Events screen, or tap the floating Pico button in the bottom-left corner on the Notes or Action Items tabs. You can also open Pico from within a note after recording — look for the "Chat with Pico about this session" bubble.

Pico can search across your entire workspace. Some examples:

• "What did we decide about the Q2 roadmap?"
• "When did I last meet with Sarah?"
• "What are my open action items from this week?"
• "Summarize my meeting with the design team."
• "Who are the most important people in my meeting world right now?"

Yes. When Pico surfaces action items in a response, you'll see inline quick-action buttons to mark them Done, In Progress, Stale, or High Priority — right within the chat.

Yes. Tap the clock icon in the chat header to toggle between your current conversation and your chat history. You can switch between past sessions, start a new chat, or delete old ones. Sessions are titled automatically based on your first message.

Yes. Tap the microphone icon in the chat input to switch to voice mode. Speak your question, and Pico will transcribe it and send it as a message. You'll see a live waveform and elapsed time while recording. Tap the checkmark to send or the X to cancel.

While generating a response, Pico shows a live activity feed of what it's doing — "Scanning all meetings and people," "Reading transcript [Meeting Title]," "Looking up [Person Name]," etc. Each step shows a checkmark when complete.

Pico has access to your meeting history, full transcripts, attendee details, action items, and can perform semantic search across all your notes. Pico can also search the web when needed.

Tap your profile avatar in the top-right corner of any tab, then tap "My Activity." The Activity screen shows a 365-day contribution heatmap of your note-taking activity. Each day's square is shaded based on how many notes you created.

The Activity screen tracks your current streak (consecutive days with notes) and your longest streak ever, including the date range.

This shows which day of the week you create the most notes, along with the percentage and total count. For example: "42% of your notes (18 total) were created on Tuesdays."

Yes. If you have action items, the Activity screen shows counts for Done, In Progress, and Total, along with a progress bar and completion rate percentage.

Tap the hourglass icon in the top-right corner of the Action Items screen. You can also tap "Ready to focus? Start a pomodoro" between the In Progress and To Do sections when you have items in progress. From there, choose a duration (5–60 minutes), optionally select an In Progress action item as your focus goal, and tap play. You can also start a blank timer without linking it to an action item.

Only items with "In Progress" status appear as focus goals. Move an item to In Progress first (swipe left on the Action Items tab), then it will show up in the Pomodoro timer.

After each focus session ends, a 5-minute break begins automatically. The timer display switches from "FOCUS" to "BREAK" with a green color scheme. You can skip the break if you want to continue working.

Each completed focus session earns a dot (up to 8 visible). These track how many sessions you've completed in a sitting. Pico celebrates your progress with encouraging messages like "3 sessions done! Keep it up!"

Yes. Use the pause button to pause, the reset button (refresh icon) to start over, or the skip button to jump to the next phase (break or focus).

Universe is an interactive knowledge graph that visualizes your professional world. Tap the icon in the top-right corner of the Notes tab to open it. It shows you at the center, surrounded by rings of the people you meet with, your recent meetings, and your open action items — all connected by relationship lines.

• Center (teal): You, with stats showing your meeting count, people count, and open items.
• Inner ring (purple): People you meet with, showing their name and meeting frequency. People you meet with more often have thicker connection lines.
• Middle ring (green): Recent meetings, showing title, date, and attendee count.
• Outer ring (orange): Open action items with priority and assignees.

Yes. Tap any node to select it and highlight its direct connections — everything else dims. Tap the background or the deselect button to clear the selection. Use the fit-view button (scan icon) to reset the zoom and centering.

A detail panel slides up from the bottom showing:

• Person: Name, email, meeting count, recent meetings, and social context from your notes.
• Meeting: Title, date, attendees, brief summary, and key topics as tags.
• Action Item: Title, status, priority, assignee, due date, and context.

Yes. Go to Settings and choose Light or Dark under the Appearance section.

Yes (iOS only). Toggle haptic feedback off in Settings under the Feedback section.

In Settings under Integrations, you can see your calendar connection status (green dot if connected). If disconnected, a "Connect Calendar" button appears to reconnect.

Settings offers two toggles:

• Push Notifications: General app notifications. If you've denied permission at the system level, tapping this toggle will open your device's settings so you can re-enable it.
• Meeting Notifications: Alerts before meetings start, based on your lead time setting.

Two toggles that control Pico's automatic brief generation:

• Daily Recap: End-of-day summary of your meetings and decisions.
• Tomorrow's Prep: Preview of tomorrow's meetings with context and preparation tips.
