Introduction

Meetily is a privacy-first AI meeting assistant that runs entirely on your local machine. It captures your meetings, transcribes them in real-time, and generates summaries with a local model by default. Audio and transcription never leave your device. If you choose a cloud AI provider for summaries, only the transcript text is sent to it. This makes it the perfect solution for professionals and enterprises who need to maintain complete control over their sensitive information.

Why Meetily?

While there are many meeting transcription tools available, this solution stands out by offering:

• Privacy First: All processing happens locally on your device.
• Cost-Effective: Uses open-source AI models instead of expensive APIs.
• Flexible: Works offline and supports multiple meeting platforms.
• Customizable: Self-host and modify for your specific needs.

Note: Official builds are only on meetily.ai and github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meetily/releases.

Meeting AI tools create significant privacy and compliance risks across all sectors:

• $4.4M average cost per data breach (IBM 2024)
• €5.88 billion in GDPR fines issued by 2025
• 400+ unlawful recording cases filed in California this year

Whether you're a defense consultant, enterprise executive, legal professional, or healthcare provider, your sensitive discussions shouldn't live on servers you don't control. Cloud meeting tools promise convenience but deliver privacy nightmares with unclear data storage practices and potential unauthorized access.

Meetily solves this: Complete data sovereignty on your infrastructure, zero vendor lock-in, and full control over your sensitive conversations.

Features

• Local First: All processing is done on your machine. No data ever leaves your computer.
• Real-time Transcription: Get a live transcript of your meeting as it happens.
• AI-Powered Summaries: Generate summaries of your meetings using powerful language models.
• Multi-Platform: Native apps for Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon). On Linux, build from source.
• Open Source: Meetily is open source and free to use.
• Flexible AI Provider Support: Choose from Ollama (local), Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, or use your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

🤖 AI-Powered Summaries

Generate meeting summaries with your choice of AI provider. Ollama (local) is recommended, with support for Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, and OpenAI.

🔒 Privacy-First Design

All data stays on your machine. Transcription models, recordings, and transcripts are stored locally.

🌐 Custom OpenAI Endpoint Support

Use your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint for AI summaries. Perfect for organizations with custom AI infrastructure or preferred providers.

🎙️ Professional Audio Mixing

Capture microphone and system audio simultaneously with intelligent ducking and clipping prevention.

⚡ GPU Acceleration

Acceleration depends on the platform and build you use:

• macOS packages: Metal and CoreML are enabled automatically.
• Windows packages: Whisper is built with Vulkan support.
• Linux: Build from source with the acceleration configuration appropriate for your system.

CUDA is available through an appropriately configured NVIDIA source build; the standard Windows installer does not select it automatically.

System Architecture

Meetily is a single, self-contained application built with Tauri. It uses a Rust-based backend to handle all the core logic, and a Next.js frontend for the user interface.

For more details, see the Architecture documentation.

For Developers

If you want to contribute to Meetily or build it from source, you'll need to have Rust and Node.js installed. For detailed build instructions, please see the Building from Source guide.
