Record meetings locally, get AI summaries, no bot joins
MeetWave is a privacy-first meeting assistant for Windows. It records system audio and microphone locally, transcribes with Whisper, and generates structured summaries, decisions and action items using Claude and GPT. No bot ever joins the call, so it works in Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and anywhere else without announcing a third-party attendee to participants. Recording is always user-initiated and the data stays under your control.

Hi Fazier. I am a solo dev and I built MeetWave because every meeting tool I tried sent a bot into the call. That is fine for internal standups and awful for sales calls, interviews and client work, where a visible third-party attendee changes how people talk. So MeetWave records the meeting on your own machine instead. It captures system audio and microphone on Windows, transcribes with Whisper, and turns the result into a summary with decisions and action items. Nobody in the call is notified of an extra participant, because there is not one. The hardest part was not the AI, it was Windows audio: capturing loopback and microphone at once, keeping them in sync, and surviving devices being unplugged mid-call. Transcription runs on GPU, so a one-hour meeting comes back in a couple of minutes. Happy to answer anything, especially about the audio capture side or running Whisper cheaply.
This is a really smart approach. The “no bot in the meeting” part is especially useful for sales calls, interviews, and client meetings where privacy and natural conversation matter. The Windows audio capture and sync problem sounds like the hardest part—great job solving that as a solo dev. Really cool project!
Really interesting approach to making meetings more productive without adding more complexity to the workflow. The focus on simplifying collaboration is especially useful for teams that spend a lot of time in meetings.
I like to build things.
I've been looking for something like this for some time!
The no-bot approach is the right call for most professional environments — having an unnamed attendee join a client call or sensitive internal meeting is awkward at best. Recording locally with the audio staying on your device is a meaningful privacy advantage over cloud-based alternatives. The combination of Whisper for transcription and Claude/GPT for structured summaries is a solid stack for getting clean, actionable output from a raw recording. Would be curious how it handles meetings with multiple speakers in noisy environments.

Great that it's ran locally for privacy. Congrats on the launch!

Local recording plus AI notes is a strong privacy angle versus cloud-only meeting tools. Interested in which platforms you support first and how export/search works for long meetings.
AI for everything
MeetWave stands out by recording meetings locally and generating AI summaries without requiring a bot to join. That makes it feel more privacy-friendly and less intrusive than many meeting assistant tools, while still helping users capture key points, decisions, and follow-up tasks.
The no-bot-joins approach is the right call. A visible bot joining always changes how people talk, and it's a compliance headache in a lot of orgs. One question: when you capture system audio as a single stream instead of per-participant feeds, how well does speaker attribution hold up? Curious whether Whisper diarization stays reliable on noisy Zoom calls with cross-talk.
Really interesting approach to meeting notes. The fact that MeetWave keeps recording local and doesn’t require a bot to join the call makes it especially useful for client meetings, interviews, and sales calls. The combination of Whisper transcription + structured AI summaries and action items sounds genuinely practical. Great work

First of all, amazing job! I have a question about performance: how does it run on low-end PCs? Are you targeting users who already have powerful machines, or is there support for lower specs too?
Looks like a great tool! Do recordings go to a server?
The local recording approach with AI summaries is brilliant for privacy-conscious teams. Love that no bot joins the call - this solves a real pain point for professional environments where external bots can feel intrusive.
thoughtful, specific, helpful
The local-first approach is really interesting, especially since MeetWave avoids having a bot join the meeting. Using Whisper for transcription and AI-generated decisions/action items seems like a practical workflow for teams that care about privacy. I’d be interested to know how much of the processing can be done fully offline without sending meeting data to external AI APIs.
MeetWave Your product has strong potential, but I found a few key improvements that could make it even better. I'd love to share my feedback and suggestions—please contact me at [email protected]
The local-recording approach is the right call for meetings that shouldn't leave the device — the same reason client-side matters for sensitive documents. Getting AI summaries without a bot joining the call is a clean separation from the usual note-taker bots.
