Meetily

Description

Meetily is a self-hosted AI meeting note taker built by Zackriya Solutions for people and teams who want meeting transcripts and summaries without sending their audio to the cloud. Transcription runs 100% locally on your device using Whisper.cpp, and AI summaries can be generated with local models through Ollama or by bringing your own API key for providers such as Claude, OpenAI, or Groq.

Because Meetily captures system audio directly from your device, it works with any conferencing platform including Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack Huddles, and Webex, with no bots, browser extensions, or platform-specific setup. It supports real-time transcription, speaker diarization, calendar integration, and offline use, and is positioned as a private alternative to tools like Otter.ai, Fireflies, and Granola.

The Community Edition is free and open source under the MIT license. A Pro edition adds advanced features and priority support, with custom pricing available for enterprise deployments. The project is GDPR and HIPAA compliant by design, since recordings and audio never leave the user's device unless a cloud summary option is explicitly chosen.

FAQ from Meetily

• Does Meetily use my data to train AI models?

  No. Transcription always runs locally on your device. When using local models nothing is shared, and when using your own API key only the transcript is sent for summarization. Recordings and audio never leave your device.

• Which meeting platforms does Meetily work with?

  It works with all major platforms including Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack Huddles, and Webex, because it captures system audio directly rather than joining as a bot.

• Is Meetily free?

  The Community Edition is free and open source under the MIT license. A Pro edition adds advanced features and priority support, and custom pricing is available for enterprise deployments.

• How is Meetily different from Otter.ai?

  Unlike cloud-based Otter.ai, Meetily processes everything locally for full privacy, is self-hosted and open source, and is GDPR and HIPAA compliant by design.

• Can Meetily run without any cloud connection?

  Yes. Transcription runs locally with Whisper.cpp and summaries can be generated with local LLMs through Ollama, so no data has to leave your infrastructure.
