What is Meetily?
Meetily is a desktop AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarizes meetings on your own computer. It captures system audio directly, so no bot joins the call, and it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack Huddles, Webex and other conferencing software.
Transcription runs locally with Whisper models. For summaries you can use local models through Ollama or bring your own API key for Claude, OpenAI or Groq. In that case only the transcript text goes to the provider, never the audio. Native apps are available for macOS and Windows. Linux users can build from source.
The Community Edition is MIT-licensed and free. Pro costs $10/user/month billed yearly and adds speaker diarization, custom summary templates, PDF/DOCX/Markdown exports, and MCP, webhook and CLI integrations. It fits privacy-sensitive teams in healthcare, legal, finance and government.
Key features
- Local real-time transcription with Whisper models

- Speaker diarization (Pro)
- Audio/video import in 10 formats
