Does an AI notetaker violate an NDA?
It can, depending on the NDA's wording. In general, sending a third-party AI bot into a confidential meeting may count as disclosing information to an outside party, which some NDAs prohibit. Terms vary and this isn't legal advice — consult counsel. Bot-free local capture avoids adding a third party to the room.

The details
- Many NDAs restrict sharing confidential information with third parties; a cloud AI notetaker bot can arguably be such a party, so its use may conflict with the agreement.
- Legal commentators note that AI notetakers raise fresh questions under existing NDAs, and outcomes depend on the specific contract language and jurisdiction.
- If an NDA is in play, check for notetaker or recording clauses, and get written consent before letting any AI tool capture the conversation.
- Reline is bot-free: it records your side locally on your device without adding an external participant, which narrows the disclosure concern — but always confirm with counsel.
