In simple English
Meetily is a desktop program that listens to your online meetings and writes down what people say. It turns the spoken words into written text and makes a neat summary of the key points. All the work happens right on your computer, so no recordings or transcripts are sent to the cloud. You keep complete control over your private conversations. The community version is free and open source, while a paid version offers extra features.
What it is
Meetily is an open-source, self-hosted AI meeting assistant built with Tauri (a framework for building desktop software with web technologies) and Rust (a programming language focused on speed and safety). It uses speech recognition tools like Whisper (a neural net for automatic speech recognition created by OpenAI) and Parakeet to turn audio into text offline.
What it is good for
This tool is good for remote workers, consultants, and legal or medical professionals who need to record and summarize confidential discussions without risking data leaks. It removes the need for expensive cloud transcription services that store sensitive audio files on remote servers.
- Runs 100% offline on your machine with zero data sent to external cloud servers.
- Supports live transcription and audio file imports from multiple meeting platforms.
- Works with local language models through Ollama (a program that lets you run large language models on your local machine) or custom endpoints.
- Requires an AVX2-capable processor and sufficient memory to run speech models locally.
- Windows installer lacks automatic CUDA acceleration for NVIDIA graphics cards out of the box.
- Linux users must compile the application from source manually.
