Sceneuron: signs of intelligence for your camera.

An AI producer that puts live signs on your video in Zoom, Meet, Teams or any stream. Professional doesn't mean sterile.

Alex on a video call with a Sceneuron sign on his video that reads “We're off track”, next to his name label.

Four ways to raise a sign

Signal without taking the floor, or breaking eye contact.

  • Stream Deck

    One key per sign. It lights up while the sign is on.

  • Hands

    3 fingers is a 3. Raise your hand to ask.

  • Voice

    “Sceneuron, wrap it up.”

  • AI

    Hold something up and it names it.

Stream Deck

A key for every sign.

Our own Stream Deck plugin. Each key looks like the card it raises and turns amber while that card is on your video.

  • Ready-made profile: Meeting, Planning poker and Classroom pages
  • Pairs with Sceneuron in one click
  • Push-to-talk, Reveal and Next round keys for the poker room
  • Turn a Stream Deck + dial to flip through a deck
Alex holds up an iced coffee. Sceneuron shows “Now showing: iced coffee” and a live description: “A person in a maroon hoodie holds up a plastic cup of iced coffee.”

Live description

It narrates what it sees.

A live line of what the camera understands. On your Mac, every frame, free.

  • On-device
  • Free
  • Nothing sent

Cheap intelligence first. The big model only when it matters.

  1. 1

    On-device vision

    Every frame, free. Faces, hands, 21 joints, objects, text.

  2. 2

    Quick judge: Jev

    TypeSafe's Jev judges your conditions from on-device facts in under a second, only when the scene changes. Text only, never images.

  3. 3

    Gemini

    Only when unsure, or when something needs a name.

Tell it what to watch for

Write it in plain English: “I'm holding something up.” “A pet walked in.” It shows “Now showing: coffee mug” or “Cat on stream!”

Set up with AI

“I run sprint planning on Zoom.” Gemini proposes the decks, cards and rules. Nothing changes until you say yes.

Say anything

If Sceneuron doesn't know a voice command, Gemini figures out what you meant.

Every decision explained

Each change lands in a log with the AI's reason, how long it took and what it cost. An hourly budget caps the spend.

Talk to it.

Push to talk, or just say its name.

  • It only acts on a clear match. “I don't agree” won't raise Agree.
  • Cards can speak out loud in the call.
  • Card names are sent as keyterms, so it hears them right.
  • “wrap it up”
  • “my vote is eight”
  • “reveal”
  • “next round”
  • “hacker theme”
  • “subtitles in Spanish”
  • “mind blown”

Make those long sprint planning meetings fun and engaging.

Everyone votes in secret, so nobody just copies the loudest person. SpacetimeDB keeps every vote hidden until someone hits reveal, then all the cards flip at the same moment.

  • Vote with a key, your fingers or your voice
  • See everyone's votes and the average
  • Practice alone with simulated teammates

Subtitles in any language.

Your words under your video as you talk, translated into up to three languages at once.

Alex speaking with three live subtitle lines under his video: English “Hello, I'm Alex. It's nice to meet you.”, the same line in Klingon written in pIqaD script, and in Japanese.
  • About 150 ms behind you
  • Even Klingon, Quenya and Toki Pona, in their own scripts
  • Real closed captions on streams
  • Translate with Gemini or a local model

It grows with you

Start with one sign. Grow into a whole room.

  1. 1

    One sentence

    Describe your meeting and Sceneuron drafts the setup.

  2. 2

    Setup

    Add decks, rules and things for the AI to watch for as you need them.

  3. 3

    Shared room

    Bring your team into one room that votes and reveals together.

  4. 4

    Live subtitles in new languages

    Add a language and everyone can follow along.

Reactions

Reactions that feel human.

Trigger them with a key, by voice, or with your face: a facepalm or sticking your tongue out.

Alex facepalms while an emoji flood of envelopes, mailboxes and facepalm emoji covers his video, with a big banner: “This meeting could have been an email”.
