Meetily: Free, Open-Source Meeting Transcription and Summaries
In one line: Wired spotlights Meetily, a free and open-source tool that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings without any subscription.
Key points
- An AI meeting-notes tool that auto-transcribes calls and generates summaries.
- Unlike most commercial rivals, it is free and open source — no monthly fee.
- Per Wired, it can run locally, offering an alternative to services that send meeting audio to external servers.
Why it matters
Most meeting transcription tools — Otter, Fireflies, and others — run on paid subscriptions. Open-source alternatives like Meetily deliver similar features at no cost, and the option to keep data local widens the choice for privacy-conscious users.
