Let’s take a closer look at our “AI-Audio to Text Summary” task for Domino

Last week we launched Audio Intelligence for Domino; the details are here.

In this post we take a closer look at the new “AI-Audio to Text Summary” Task.

Here is what happens:

1. User sends an email with an audio attachment to the AI-Requests database

2. The email is automatically converted into an AI  Request 

3. The AI-Audio to Text Summary Task runs in the AI-Proxy database to process the request.

It performs the following tasks as defined in its configuration document:

•     Audio is converted to text
•     The original text is 'cleaned' and formatted through a request to a language model.
•     A post transcription summary email is created via another LLM Request
•     Response email is sent.

Making the complex look simple - nice.

Audio Intelligence Comes to Domino

We’re excited to introduce powerful new audio capabilities in Preemptive AI for Domino:

Audio-to-text Transcription, Audio Translation, and Audio Summarisation.

Here’s how it works:

• Simply email an audio file (MP3 or WAV) to your Preemptive AI for Domino solution. 
  
  
• The system will then automatically transcribe the audio into text. This includes automatic language detection with translation to English by default from over 99 supported languages (who knew there were that many!).
  
  
• Then, based on your email, it will:
  
  
• Provide a full transcription of the audio
• Provide a concise summary of the transcript, or
• Create a structured meeting summary if the audio is a meeting recording.
  
  
• Finally, results are delivered straight back to your inbox.

Key benefits:

• Fantastic productivity gains
  
• Fast, email-first workflow—no new tools or training required.
  
• Enterprise-grade privacy: all processing can be configured to run entirely within your organization, ensuring your data never leaves your environment.
  
• Cost-effective
  
• Use AI to analyse the audio; spot opportunities; document outcomes; and generate action items.
  
• Language translation at no cost

Unlock faster insights from calls, meetings, and voice notes directly from your mailbox.

This solution works with Domino 12 and above. It runs on Windows and Linux. Requires access to an LLM server. This service is compatible with either the OpenAI API or Domino IQ. You get to pick if you want to use a cloud or local services.

The audio translation service engine runs on a local server. This solution is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The HCL Notes Mac Client once again works on macOS 26.1

I previously blogged about how the Notes Mac Client does not work on macOS 26.

As soon as I hit the issue I created a support ticket with HCL. They could reproduce problem, but were never able to resolve it. I assume it was a particular macOS bug they could not work around. 

I think it's pretty poor that a showstopper bug like this could never be resolved. 

The Notes Mac client really needs a revamp and needs to work natively on Apple silicon machines. Time is running out to make that happen as the Rosetta emulator in the OS is on the way out.

 

How to get the HCL Mac Notes Client on macOS 26

I’ve written before that the HCL Mac Notes client (14.5) does not work correctly on macOS 26.

Now it is apparent that the problem is actually with the macOS 26, and I am told that HCL is trying to work around it.

In the meantime, I can confirm that if you update macOS 26 to 26.1 beta 3, everything works again.

SUPER IMPORTANT - Make sure you perform a clean shutdown of the Mac before attempting the upgrade to macOS 26.1, and DO NOT start the Notes client (after the clean shutdown) before update is complete. I have received reports that not following these steps can completely break the upgrade process and may require you to do an internet-based reinstall. Proceed with caution.

Good luck.

Ollama Cloud: A great option if you can’t run Domino IQ locally or need to run large models on a budget

If you don’t have the hardware to run Domino IQ on your own machine, Ollama Cloud is an excellent alternative.

Here’s why it’s worth a look:

• Privacy by design: Ollama states they don’t retain your data, helping protect privacy and security.
• Big models, small cost: You can run very large models on their cloud GPUs without investing in expensive hardware.
• Seamless with local workflows: In my experience, Ollama is one of the best local LLM servers. The cloud option extends that experience—same simplicity, more flexibility, and the ability to scale when you need it.

Bottom line: You get a familiar developer experience, strong privacy posture, and access to powerful models without the hardware hassle.

Naturally this works seamlessly with Preemptive AI for Domino 

Running multiple web agents/web services at the same time

Version 1.X of Preemptive AI's http POST implementation uses the Domino OpenAgentURL Syntax.

By default, Domino limits OpenAgent to serial processing, one at a time. This is likely to create a bottleneck in any production implementation.

To improve throughput you need to change the setting "Run web agents and web services concurrently ?" to Enabled on the Servers, Internet Protocols, Domino Web Engine tab.
