Envisioning is a small firm, and for years our work lived in a dozen tools. Calls in one app, notes in another, tasks somewhere else, and the client relationship in a CRM nobody kept up to date. Every tool had a piece of the story, and none had the whole thing.
Starlings is what I built instead. It is a workspace where every call, message, task and document is filed on the client or project it belongs to. You open a client and see everything: what we said, what we promised, what is still open.
The bigger idea is that people and AI agents work on that same record. An agent can read the history of a project, draft the follow-up, file the task, and ask me a question when it needs a decision. It does not need a separate integration for each tool, because there is only one place to look.
Calls run inside Starlings. The host's own device makes the transcript, so the audio never goes to a server, and Starlings never records audio or video. After a call, the transcript and a summary file themselves on the right client.
There are native apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple Watch, and a web app for everything else. Each firm gets its own database. The source is public, so you can check exactly what it does with your data. Each version becomes fully open source two years after its release.
We run Envisioning on it every day. That is still the best test I know: if it breaks, our own work stops.
