AI Life / Work & Study / Meeting Assistants
A bot joining the call announces “I’m recording” to everyone, and some clients ask you to remove it. Bot-free note takers capture audio from your own device instead. More on the meeting assistant hub .
Options
| Tool | How it captures | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Granola | Your computer’s audio, plus your typed notes | InterMIND |
| Jamie | Device audio, no bot | Jamie |
| Krisp | Device audio; bot is optional | Krisp |
| A physical recorder, works in person and on calls | Pocket meeting recorder |
Granola is the popular pick for Mac users who like to type their own notes and have AI fill in the rest. Try Granola
Jamie and Krisp both run on your device. Krisp also does noise cancelling.
Pocket works in the room, on a phone call, or next to your laptop. It’s what I use. Get Pocket
One rule
Bot-free doesn’t mean consent-free. Tell people you’re recording and follow your local laws.
