Meetily offers free AI meeting transcription without subscriptions
Meetily records and summarizes meetings for free using open-source AI models
Meetily is a privacy-focused meeting assistant that leverages open-source AI (like Whisper for transcription) to record and summarize conversations without cloud uploads. The tool works across Windows, macOS, and Linux (via GitHub), capturing both microphone and system audio for platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
Users can generate real-time transcriptions or summaries post-meeting, with the free tier offering unlimited use but no speaker labels. The Pro version ($10/month) adds speaker identification and more advanced features. It also supports offline transcription of pre-recorded files, making it useful for on-the-go recordings. While not perfect, Meetily undercuts paid services like Otter.ai ($10-$20/month) by prioritizing local processing and open-source flexibility.
