Sweez: a real-time AI meeting assistant

I owned the frontend of Sweez, an AI assistant that takes notes during meetings and surfaces the key points in real time. I built its React and Next.js interface on a live WebSocket connection to the AI services, with accessible Radix UI components.

001·Context

Live meeting notes from AI services

Sweez is a startup specialising in artificial intelligence. Its assistant captures what participants say, so the interface had to show the key points while the meeting was still under way.

“Jean-Baptiste nous a aidé dans le développement frontend de notre outil Sweez. C'est un développeur talentueux et hautement compétent. Son expertise technique et sa capacité à résoudre les problèmes de manière créative font de lui un atout précieux pour toute équipe de développement. Il est fiable, consciencieux et démontre une grande attention aux détails dans son travail. Il communique bien et est force de proposition. La qualité de son code et sa capacité d'adaptation sont remarquables.”
