1	# Backtrack Platform Help
2
3	## Step 1 — Gather context
4
5	If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
6
7	Ask the user:
8
9	1. What do you need help with?
10	- A) Setting up Backtrack (install, permissions, first recording)
11	- B) Troubleshooting an issue (audio capture, transcripts, menu bar icon)
12	- C) Comparing Backtrack to another bot-free tool (Shadow, Granola, Jamie)
13	- D) Understanding pricing or buffer limits (free vs Pro vs Business)
14	- E) Sharing or exporting recordings
15
16	2. What's your primary use case?
17	- A) Zoom/Meet/Teams calls I sometimes forget to record
18	- B) In-person meetings and conversations
19	- C) Slack Huddles and ad-hoc calls
20	- D) General audio capture (brainstorming, lectures, interviews)
21
22	Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
23
24	## Step 2 — Route or answer directly
25
26	\| Problem domain \| Route to \|
27	\|---\|---\|
28	\| Comparing all AI note-takers (not just bot-free) \| `/sales-note-taker {user's question}` \|
29	\| Reviewing a specific call for coaching \| `/sales-call-review {user's question}` \|
30	\| Building a coaching program \| `/sales-coaching {user's question}` \|
31	\| General CRM/tool integration (Zapier, webhooks) \| `/sales-integration {user's question}` \|
32
33	Otherwise, answer directly below.
34
35	## Step 3 — Backtrack platform reference
36
37	Read `references/platform-guide.md` for the full platform reference — features, pricing, rolling buffer behavior, audio capture details, limitations.
38
39	Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
40
41	## Step 4 — Actionable guidance
42
43	You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.
44
45	Setup priorities:
46	1. Install from Mac App Store or Setapp → grant macOS permissions (microphone, screen recording)
47	2. Verify the menu bar icon appears — check menu bar managers (Bartender, Vanilla) if hidden
48	3. Start a test call to confirm both sides of audio are captured (use speakers, not headphones for remote calls)
49	4. Adjust rolling buffer length in settings (1 hour free, up to 5 hours Pro)
50
51	Bot-free comparison quick guide:
52	- Backtrack vs Shadow → Backtrack's unique feature is retroactive capture (save after the meeting without pre-recording); Shadow requires autopilot to start recording at meeting time
53	- Backtrack vs Granola → Granola is an AI notepad with CRM sync; Backtrack is a raw audio/screen buffer with AI transcription as an add-on
54	- Backtrack vs Jamie → Jamie supports Windows + Mac and has CRM connectors; Backtrack is Mac-only with no CRM integration
55
56	If you discover a gotcha or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.
57
58	## Gotchas
59
60	> Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
61
62	- Free tier is 1 hour rolling buffer, not 5 hours. The 5-hour buffer requires Pro ($9.99/mo). If your meetings regularly exceed 1 hour, the free tier will lose the beginning.
63	- Mic-only capture by default. Backtrack records what your microphone picks up. In a video call with headphones, you'll only capture your side — use speakers so the mic picks up both sides, or ensure system audio capture is enabled.
64	- macOS only. No Windows, Linux, iOS, or web. If your team has mixed OS, Backtrack won't work for everyone — consider Jamie (Windows + Mac) or Granola (Mac + Windows).
65	- No public API, no webhooks, no CRM integration. You cannot programmatically access recordings or pipe transcripts to a CRM. For API-driven workflows, use Fathom, Fireflies, or Gong instead.
66	- Transcript reliability is inconsistent. Some users report ~1 in 10 transcripts fail to save. Always verify important transcripts saved before closing the app.
67	- Menu bar managers can hide the icon. Bartender, Vanilla, and similar tools may hide Backtrack's menu bar icon. Check your menu bar manager's hidden section if the icon disappears.
68	- Cloud upload required for AI features. On-device recording is local, but generating AI transcripts and summaries
