According to MakeUseOf, Jamie is the first AI meeting assistant that actually works without annoying everyone by joining calls as a bot account. Unlike competitors like tl;dv that require dual account setups, Jamie captures audio directly through your device’s system audio or microphone, working across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and even in-person conversations. The tool automatically generates word-for-word transcripts and polished summaries that highlight key points, decisions, and action items without any manual intervention. Jamie permanently deletes audio files after processing and promises user data won’t be used for model training, addressing privacy concerns head-on. Available for iOS, macOS, and Windows with free and paid plans, it handles sessions up to three hours long and syncs everything through cloud storage.
Why this matters
Here’s the thing about most AI meeting assistants: they solve one problem while creating another. You get automated notes, but you also get that awkward moment when “AI Assistant Bot” joins the call and everyone wonders if they’re being recorded. Jamie’s approach is fundamentally different – it just listens to what you hear, whether through your computer’s audio output or microphone. Basically, it’s the meeting equivalent of having a really attentive colleague who takes great notes without ever interrupting the flow.
The privacy angle
What really stands out is how Jamie handles data. They delete audio files after processing and explicitly state they won’t use your conversations for training their models. In an era where every AI company seems to be hoarding data, this is refreshingly transparent. It makes you wonder – if they can build a capable AI without constantly training on user data, why can’t others?
Practical benefits
The speaker memory feature is smarter than it sounds. Jamie actually learns who’s talking across meetings and even infers speakers from context when names are mentioned. When you’re bouncing between multiple team meetings all day, not having to manually label speakers every time saves way more time than you’d expect. And the Ask AI function? Being able to query your meeting history like it’s a search engine feels like magic. “What did marketing promise last quarter?” becomes a question you can actually get answered in seconds.
Who this is for
If you’re someone who spends half your life in meetings but hates taking notes, Jamie could be a game-changer. It works equally well for remote calls, in-person meetings, and even longer sessions like workshops or podcast recordings. The fact that it handles both digital and physical conversations without separate workflows means you’re not constantly switching between tools. And honestly, not having to explain why there’s a bot in your meeting might be worth the price alone.
