Key Points

  • The post asks the community whether anyone uses a fully local setup for AI-generated meeting notes, highlighting the desire to keep the workflow off-cloud while retaining useful outputs.
  • The author currently uses Bluedot, which records meetings without a bot joining and provides transcripts, summaries, and action items that are searchable for quick reference.
  • They want a local alternative that can perform recording, transcription, and summarization, but are uncertain how reliably local models handle long and messy conversations.
  • The key question is which local transcription and summarization models people are using and whether the approach is reliable enough to replace cloud tools.
  • Overall, the thread focuses on practical reliability and model selection for local LLM/ASR-based meeting documentation rather than announcing any new product or method.

I’ve been trying to move more of my workflow local, and AI meeting notes are the one thing I haven’t fully figured out yet.

Right now I’m using Bluedot because it’s simple, it records meetings without a bot joining, and I get a transcript, summary, and action items after. The searchable transcript is also really useful when I need to go back and check something quickly.

Ideally, I’d like a local AI meeting notes setup that can do something similar. In theory it’s just recording + transcription + summarization, but I’m not sure how well local models handle longer, messy conversations.

Are you running a local AI note taking setup for meetings? What models are you using for transcription and summaries? Is it reliable enough to replace cloud tools yet?
