The resolution matrix is Canary’s term for the grid of live, rolling summaries it displays at several time horizons at once — now, the last 2 minutes, the last 5 minutes, and the full call — turning a meeting into something you can read at whatever zoom level the moment requires.
How it works
Canary captures the call’s system audio locally and continuously re-condenses the conversation into each cell of the matrix. Every horizon updates in real time, so the now cell tracks the latest exchange while the full call cell holds the whole arc of the meeting. It’s a concrete implementation of the multi-resolution summary idea built on rolling summaries.
Why it matters
A flat transcript or a single summary makes you hunt for the right level of detail. The resolution matrix removes that step: glance at one cell and you have exactly the context you need, whether that’s “what was just said” or “what has this meeting been about.” It’s how Canary delivers meeting situational awareness the instant your name is called.
