What the assistant can read
Once connected, your assistant can read your transcriptions and search them by text, folder, label, or speaker. It can also list your folders, labels, speakers, and presets, and pull a usage summary — transcription count, hours, and breakdowns by speaker and preset — for a date range.
What the assistant can change
A few tools let the assistant edit your data: adding labels to a transcription, renaming a transcription, and renaming a speaker. Renaming a speaker applies across all of your transcriptions that reference them, not just the one open in the conversation.
How access is granted
Most AI clients — Claude, ChatGPT, and others — connect over OAuth: adding the Cohearo connector opens a Cohearo sign-in and consent screen in your browser. Review the requested permissions and click Allow; the client never sees your password.
Clients that expect a pasted key instead of a browser flow, such as Claude Code, use an API key from Settings → API Keys instead.
The assistant acts as you
Every request runs as your Cohearo account. The assistant sees what you can see — your own transcriptions plus any folders shared with you — and its editing tools only ever touch your own recordings.
Review or revoke access
Open Settings → Connected applications in the Cohearo dashboard to see every app you've authorized, when it connected, when it was last used, and to disconnect it. Disconnecting stops the app from renewing its access; a token already issued can stay valid for up to an hour. API keys are managed separately, under Settings → API Keys, where a key can be renamed, regenerated, or revoked.
