Capture architecture decisions by voice
Architectural decisions are easier to revisit when the reasoning is recorded close to the discussion. Describe the problem, alternatives, trade-offs and chosen next step in a voice note. Review the result and use it to write an ADR in your repository’s format; Chela does not promise a GitHub integration or Markdown ADR export.

A useful record keeps the details you want to return to: names, decisions, questions and next steps. Chela can process a voice note into organised information that you can review and search. State what matters in the recording, then check the resulting note before using it elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it format notes as standard Architecture Decision Records (ADR)?
Yes. It can automatically extract the Context, Decision, and Consequences from your audio and format it according to standard ADR templates.
How well does it transcribe code or variable names?
While it is highly accurate with general software terminology (e.g., "Kubernetes," "PubSub," "OAuth"), it aims to document the architectural concepts rather than acting as a compiler for phonetic code dictation.
Can I export this to Notion or Confluence?
Chela supports exporting an individual note as PDF. Review the note first, and check the export options available in your installed version. This does not promise Markdown downloads, bulk exports or automatic synchronisation with Notion or Obsidian.
Is it secure enough for proprietary architecture details?
We use enterprise-grade security. We do not use your private technical logs to train public models, keeping your intellectual property completely intact and secure.

Download ChelaWhat to check before relying on it
Chela does not automatically commit Markdown ADRs to GitHub or sync a repository. Keep secrets, credentials and sensitive customer data out of spoken examples.
