The call screen, part by part

This is what Parrot looks like mid-call. Here's a tour of every region, top to bottom, and what's worth keeping an eye on.

The top strip

Recording and the timer on the left, the Stop button on the right. The dotted waveform under it is the last minute of audio activity, a quick "yes, sound is arriving" check.

The device bar

Your current microphone with a live level meter, and the output device on the right. Two things to watch here:

• The mic meter should move when you speak. If you talk and it stays flat, your Mac is listening to the wrong microphone; pick the right one in System Settings → Sound.
• If "mic muted by another app" appears here in orange, your call app grabbed the mic and Parrot is fighting to get it back. It usually wins. Details in Troubleshooting.

The Copilot panel (left half)

Everything the AI thinks about your call, glanceable:

• Call score, the big number: 0 to 100, how the call is going overall. Green is good, orange is wobbly, red means rescue it.
• The coach line next to it, one sentence of "what to do right now". It updates as the call moves.
• Gauges, the small chips underneath: whatever your profile measures (buying temperature on the sales profile, for example), plus the mood read.
• "You 44%" in the header is your share of the talking. If it climbs past 70 it turns orange, which is the app's polite way of saying let the other person speak.
• The pause button next to the status: stops all AI requests instantly, keeps your cards; press play to catch up. Nothing is sent while paused. More in The Copilot during a call.
• Status on the far right: green dot Listening, spinner Thinking, grey dot Paused.

The cards

Below the score, cards arrive as the conversation gives the Copilot something to say. The one to never miss: cards with the orange warning icon are blockers, and they stay pinned at the top until you tick them handled. The "1 open" counter next to the score tells you how many are waiting. Regular cards stack below; every card shows its time in the call (click it to jump the transcript there), and suggested answers come with a copy button so you can paste the line into chat if saying it feels weird. Dismiss anything wrong with the ×, it trains nothing and hurts nothing.

The right half: Transcript and Notes

The Transcript tab is the live conversation, you on the right in blue, everyone else on the left, with a light preview bubble while someone is mid-sentence. It follows the newest line on its own; scroll up to re-read something and it politely stops following until you scroll back down.

The Notes tab is a plain text pad for the thoughts the AI can't have for you. Notes are saved with the meeting and come along when you export it.

The small icon next to the tabs collapses the whole right side if you want the Copilot full-width, and the sparkle icon in the very top bar hides the Copilot instead if you only want the transcript.
