Hwat is a Chrome extension designed to help users prepare stronger openings for meetings.
When using Hwat, you may enter information including:
Meeting title

This information is used to generate meeting-opening suggestions and facilitate meeting preparation.
The current version of Hwat stores recent meeting information locally on your device using the Chrome storage permission.
This allows Hwat to provide features such as saved and recent meetings.
Hwat does not use this information for advertising.
The current Chrome extension version performs its meeting-opening functionality locally in the extension.
Meeting information entered into the current version is not transmitted to Hwat servers or third-party AI services.
The current version also does not retrieve or transmit information from URLs entered into the Relevant Links field.
Future versions of Hwat may introduce optional AI, research, or external-service functionality. If those features require information to be transmitted outside the browser, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those features are released.
Hwat currently requests the Chrome storage permission.
This permission is used to save application settings and recent meeting information locally within Chrome.
Hwat does not request access to your browsing history, tabs, email, calendar, microphone, camera, or unrelated website content.
Hwat does not sell personal information.
Hwat does not use personal information for targeted advertising.
Hwat does not provide user information to data brokers.
Users can remove saved meeting information from within Hwat.
Uninstalling the Hwat Chrome extension will also remove extension data stored by Chrome according to Chrome's extension-storage behavior.
Hwat is intended as a productivity tool and is not specifically directed toward children under 13.
If Hwat's data practices change, this Privacy Policy will be updated to accurately describe those changes.

Start your meeting strong.
Hwat helps you turn the context surrounding a meeting into useful ways to open the discussion.
Instead of generating generic introductions, Hwat is designed to help surface the decision, tradeoff, problem, or question the meeting actually needs to address.
Open Hwat from the Chrome toolbar.
Enter what the meeting is about.
Describe the problem the group needs to solve.
Optionally add attendees, desired outcome, background information, relevant links, and meeting length.
Select Generate Openers.
Choose the approach that best fits the room.
Decision First
Collaborative
Structured
Context First
It can also identify what the meeting may really be about through the What Hwat Sees section.
If Hwat does not open correctly:
Open chrome://extensions
Find Hwat
Make sure the extension is enabled
Click Reload if you installed an unpacked development version
Close and reopen the Hwat popup
If a generated result does not match the meeting, try providing more detail in What problem are we solving? and What needs to happen by the end of the meeting?
