RecapMuse for attorneys
Notes for attorneys on recording client conversations: what the first federal decisions on generative AI and privilege actually held, what changes when a meeting platform starts blocking notetaker bots by default, and how to tell whether a tool that calls itself on-device keeps audio on the machine.
What Heppner and Warner Say, and What They Do Not
Two federal courts ruled a week apart in February 2026 and reached different outcomes on whether a litigant's generative AI use is privileged or protected work product. What Heppner and Warner v. Gilbarco actually held, and the facts that drove each result.
The Notetaker That Is About to Be Stuck in the Lobby
Microsoft Teams makes bot approval a company-wide default in September 2026, with automatic blocking of identified meeting bots from August. What that means for a lawyer whose notetaker joins client calls as a participant.
What "On-Device" Has to Mean in a Privilege Fight
In Heppner, a privacy policy disclosing third-party sharing undercut the confidentiality claim. That makes on-device a question about where audio actually goes, not a marketing word. Including exactly where RecapMuse's own boundary sits.
