For Engineering Teams

Having an AI Run Your Meetings Sounds Terrible. So Does Another 43 Minute Standup.

That standup already happened this morning. It ate 40 minutes of your build window. Rithmo keeps it under 10. Decisions captured, everyone building before 9:15.

How a 43 Minute Standup Becomes 9.

Yes, it requires a small change to how your team runs standups. A 30 second check-in before the meeting. That is it. Rithmo handles everything else. And the math is hard to argue with.

01

Everyone checks in before the meeting

Each engineer sends Rithmo a quick update before the standup starts. What shipped, what is blocked, what needs a decision. Thirty seconds. Done.

02

Rithmo builds the agenda

All updates synthesized into a structured run of show. Blockers surfaced. Decisions flagged. No round robin. The meeting already knows what it needs to cover.

03

Questions only. Then everyone builds.

Rithmo presents the agenda, fields questions, captures decisions. If there are none, the standup is over. Nine minutes. Everyone building by 9:13.

Built for Engineering Meetings.
Not Meeting Culture.

Rithmo handles the operational layer of your meetings: time, decisions, action items, recurring topics. So your team can focus on the actual work.

Get Through Meetings Faster

Rithmo tracks time against the agenda and surfaces when discussions are running long so your team spends 45 minutes building, not 45 minutes planning to build.

Every Decision, Captured

Action items, owners, and decisions captured automatically so nothing disappears when the meeting ends. The decision was made. Rithmo makes sure everyone knows it.

Resolve Topics. Not Revisit Them.

When the same discussion comes back for the third week running, Rithmo flags it so your team can resolve it async before it eats another hour.

Your Update, Without the Meeting

Some teams use Rithmo to deliver their daily status before the standup starts. Blockers surfaced, priorities logged. The standup takes 9 minutes. You stayed in flow the whole time.

Under the Hood

Set Up in Minutes. Nothing to Maintain.

Rithmo is a pure API integration. No agents to install, no infrastructure to manage, no changes to how your team runs meetings. It was designed to be the kind of tool an engineer would actually want to evaluate.

One Time Zoom OAuth

Connect your Zoom workspace once via standard OAuth 2.0. No API keys to rotate, no webhooks to configure, revocable from your Zoom admin dashboard at any time.

Dual Bot Architecture

Rithmo deploys as two distinct bot presences per meeting: a named participant and a silent observer. This ensures complete signal coverage regardless of host settings or meeting configuration.

Zero Infrastructure Overhead

Nothing to deploy on your end. Rithmo handles all compute, processing, and signal extraction on its own infrastructure. Your team installs nothing.

Scoped Data Processing

Audio is processed in-flight for behavioral signals. Raw recordings are not retained. Transcripts are used for pattern analysis only, scoped to your organization.

Security and Privacy

Minimal Footprint. Scoped Access.

Rithmo was built to pass security review, not trigger it. The integration surface is intentionally small: OAuth only, no persistent credentials, no raw recording retention.

TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest

All data in motion and at rest is encrypted using current industry standards.

Minimum OAuth scopes

Rithmo requests only the Zoom permissions required to join and observe meetings. The full scope list is visible at authorization time.

No audio or video retention

Audio is transcribed and processed in-flight. Raw recordings are never written to disk.

No model training on org data

Meeting content is never used to train models. Intelligence is derived from behavioral signals scoped to your organization.

Fully org-isolated

All data is isolated to your organization. No cross-tenant access is possible by design.

The Best Standup Is the One That's Already Done.

Your update delivered before the standup starts. Blockers surfaced before anyone asks. Nine minutes because Rithmo handled the rest. Engineering teams are already running it this way.
