You're listening, nodding, engaged and walk out with nothing written down. Most tools fix this by sending your audio to their servers, training on your conversations, and charging you monthly for it. Askmeety doesn't. Everything runs on your Mac. No bot joins your call. Askmeety's VisualWalk captures key frames and turns them into a clean, blog-style summary. Your meetings, fully private.
Hey Folks !!
I'll be honest, Askmeety started as a problem I was embarrassed to admit I had.
I was nodding in meetings, looking engaged, and secretly retaining maybe 30% of what was said. I'd try to take notes and miss the conversation. I'd stop taking notes and miss the details. There was no winning.
So I tried every tool out there. Otter. Fireflies. Granola. They all worked but they all made me uneasy. My client calls. My investor conversations. My hiring discussions. All being uploaded, processed, stored on someone else's machine. Some of them openly admit to training on your data.
That felt like a bad deal I didn't agree to. So I built Askmeety. The entire thing runs on your Mac. Transcription, summaries, next steps, AI search across your meeting history, all local. No account. No server. No bot awkwardly sitting in your call. When you delete a meeting, it's actually deleted. Not anonymised. Not retained. Gone.
The feature I'm most proud of is VisualWalk, instead of recording your screen, it captures the important frames and turns them into a short, blog-style summary of what happened visually. It's the closest thing to having a second brain in the room.
Would genuinely love to hear from anyone who's had that gut-check moment with cloud meeting tools, did you stay, or did you switch? And if you try Askmeety, tell me what breaks. I'm reading everything ; )
@nikolas_dimitroulakis Hey Nikolas ! Thats a nice question. Gemini/Google Meet notes are actually pretty solid for teams already living inside Google Workspace, but Askmeety works on pretty much all platforms and even in-person meetings. The biggest difference is really around privacy + where the processing happens. And VisualWalk is something we haven’t really seen elsewhere yet, instead of just text summaries, it captures key visual moments and turns them into a clean walkthrough of what happened on screen.
the visual walks yes, thats indeed nice. good luck with the launch!

Mac-only is a real constraint for a lot of teams. I've been using livesuggest.ai which is fully browser-based so nothing to install, works anywhere. Different angle too, more focused on real-time suggestions during the call rather than notes after, but the no-bot philosophy is the same.
@flo152121063061 Completely agreed. But, but our primary focus was on privacy, and processing everything offline. And luckily Apple's neural engine gave us a lot of flexibility, but we are working on extending it to multiple paltforms too ; )

VisualWalk is the part that caught me. Audio-only notetakers miss half of what happens in a meeting... the slide someone shared, the whiteboard, the doc on screen.... and the summary suffers for it. Treating frames as first-class context instead of just a transcription layer is a real shift. Curious how it decides which frames are "key".... content change detection, speaker emphasis, both?

how does it compare with meeting notes from gemini/gmeet?
