Things to know

Edition comparison

  • (a) K8s supports both single and multi-user authenticated logins
  • (b) Updates on K8s are managed automatically by automated version-controlled deployments with no manual intervention required
  • (c) Automatic updates require Watchtower running alongside Docker. Without Watchtower, updates are manual via Docker
  • (d) Available when tunnel is not configured and access is LAN only

Desktop, Server, and Vault editions are designed for a single coach. One coach per installation. The K8s Edition supports multiple coaches via OIDC authentication.

Remote access

Remote access is not supported. The optional tunnel on Server and K8s editions expose only the necessary API endpoints publicly if enabled. All other access is locked down via Cloudflare security rules created by you and enforced by the platform. These editions automatically disconnect the tunnel if the rules are misconfigured.

AI

All AI features require a VTT transcript and a configured AI provider. Cross-sectional analysis requires at least two AI-generated session assessments. See AI setup for supported providers and configuration.

Cloud AI providers require an API key that you enter which is then encrypted by the platform. Cloud API costs are your responsibility.

Transcripts

Review, talk time, and competency tagging require an imported transcript with speaker-attributed timestamps in VTT format. If your recording does not include a VTT transcript, see Transcribing without Zoom.

Zoom

All Zoom features require the platform to be connected to your Zoom account via a configured Zoom OAuth app. After recordings are imported they are stored locally and do not require further Zoom connectivity. See Zoom setup.

Zoom staging (Server and K8s editions) additionally requires a webhook and a public domain with a Cloudflare Tunnel. See Cloudflare Tunnel setup.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar requires the platform to be connected to your Google account via a configured Google project. See Google Calendar setup.
