The full tool. Unzip, pip install, run. Record live or process any Zoom, Meet, or Teams recording file. README covers everything, including the fully offline summary mode.
I remote in, install it, tune it to your hardware, load your vocabulary of names and jargon, and process your first meeting with you before we hang up. 30 minutes.
For law, medical, and confidentiality-bound teams: up to 10 machines, meeting-notes templates for your practice, staff training, 90 days of support. Notes that can't leak.
Yes. The software is free, no account, no per-seat fee. The paid options are my time, not the tool: white-glove setup ($97) or an office-wide private install ($497).
No. Nothing joins your meetings. Record your mic for in-person meetings and speaker calls, or process the recording file your meeting platform already makes. Zoom, Meet, and Teams all produce one.
Transcription always runs locally with Whisper. Summaries are your choice: fully offline via a local model, transcript-only (100% offline), or an optional mode that sends transcript text (never audio) to an AI API with your own key.
Purpose Built AI — a systems engineer's practice that rebuilds overpriced cloud tools as local software and builds custom AI systems for businesses. This site runs on the same stack.
Meet Local becomes a session-notes scribe that turns each session into a structured note on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded.
Dictation, video clips, meeting notes, and voiceover. The subscription tools, rebuilt to run on your machine. All free, all readable code, all yours.
