Stop forgetting
important conversations.
One brilliant thought during a client call. One critical task mentioned casually. One decision buried between notifications.
Great ideas shouldn't disappear after meetings end.
It's not about taking notes.
It's about remembering what matters.
The hard part is rarely writing notes. It is finding them later, acting on them, and staying organized when meetings happen across WhatsApp, Zoom, Uber rides, and back-to-back calls.
If your work depends on conversations — this is for you.
Whether you work independently or manage a distributed team, Meetings Brief adapts to your workflow naturally. Built for people who move fast and think in conversations.
A browser call, a conversation in the room, or a recording.
The audio source matters. A computer can share a meeting tab; a phone can listen to people nearby. A phone browser cannot capture a call in another app on that same phone.
From raw notes to a clean summary.
Choose a bullet summary, a quick recap, action items only or a founder view, from notes or a transcript file. Copy it, download it as a text file or share it as a link. Meeting minutes and follow-up emails have their own generators.

Choose where audio is processed
Online recording transcription sends audio through private Supabase storage to the provider named before upload (Cloudflare Workers AI or Groq), without downloading a speech model to your browser. Shared capacity and file limits apply; the tool names the processor and shows its current limits before upload. Live notes offer Online with Groq when available, or On this device recognition, with a first-use language or model download when needed.
On this device keeps speech recognition local. For recordings it downloads a browser speech model and engine—roughly 96 MB on Faster or 260 MB on More accurate. Cached files can be reused while your browser keeps them. Device memory, browser codecs and the recording affect what can run and how long it takes.
Check recording permissions and your organisation’s rules before choosing either mode. Requesting an AI brief sends transcript text to an online AI service separately. Uploaded audio and uncollected online results have a 24-hour access expiry and scheduled deletion; a browser transcript you save or download follows different rules. Read the privacy policy for the processors, exceptions and cleanup limits.
What it will not do
It does not join your calls. There is no bot that appears in the participant list of a Google Meet or Zoom call, and adding one is not on the roadmap as a quiet background feature — a tool that silently attends meetings on your behalf raises consent questions that deserve a deliberate answer, not a toggle.
It does not sell your notes, and it does not train models on them. It does not run ads. There is no paid tier, which means there is also no feature being held back from you to create one.
And it will not pretend that an AI summary is a transcript. A summary is a compression, and compressions lose things. The full text is kept alongside the summary and can be downloaded, because the moment you need to check exactly what somebody committed to is the moment a summary is least useful.
Why it is free, and who pays for it
Meetings Brief is built by the Kindness Community Foundation (KCF LLC) in Newport Beach, California, and paid for by KCF LLC’s commercial products. You can use it without an account. There is no venture funding to return.
On this device uses your hardware for speech recognition. Online processing uses a shared free-service allowance, so daily capacity, per-recording and live-session limits are necessary. The service may refuse a request when capacity is unavailable rather than promising unlimited processing. Neither route guarantees instant or error-free text.
Where it fits against the alternatives
If you need a bot that joins every call on your calendar, records it, and posts a summary to Slack automatically, use Fireflies or something like it — that is what those products are for, and this is not trying to be one.
If what you need is to transcribe a meeting you are in without a bot, or to take a recording you already have, or a set of rough notes, and turn it into something structured, choose the mode and data flow that fit your recording permissions. The comparison of the free options goes through the trade-offs in more detail, including where this tool loses.
Common questions
Is Meetings Brief actually free, or is there a paid tier later?
Yes. It is free to use with no paid tier. On this device transcription runs on your hardware; Online uses limited shared service capacity and can be unavailable when that allowance is used. AI briefs and email also have limits. KCF LLC’s commercial products fund the service; no unlimited online capacity or fixed completion time is promised.
Is a recording I transcribe uploaded anywhere?
In Online mode, yes: the original recording is uploaded to private Supabase storage and audio is sent to the provider named before upload (Cloudflare Workers AI or Groq). In On this device mode, the browser speech model processes audio locally without uploading it. An optional AI brief sends transcript text to an online AI service separately. Choose a mode your permissions and organisation allow.
Does a bot join my Google Meet or Zoom calls?
No bot joins the call. You start live transcription yourself and tell the others you are taking notes. On desktop Chrome or Edge, share the meeting tab with its audio and Meetings Brief combines it with your microphone. You can also transcribe a recording you already have. Meetings Brief does not automatically join your calendar events.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for live transcription, recordings or summaries. Confirm your email address with a 6-digit code if you want automatic brief delivery. Saved live meetings stay in this browser on this device; email confirmation does not sync that history. Separately, signing in to the optional Aria assistant lets you use your Aria conversations and memories on another device.
How accurate is the transcription?
Accuracy varies with the selected mode, model, language, recording quality and overlapping voices. Online recording transcription uses the provider named before upload (Cloudflare Workers AI or Groq); On this device uses browser recognition or local Whisper depending on the tool. Review names, numbers, decisions and owners against the source before sharing a transcript or AI brief. We do not claim one accuracy score for every meeting.
Which browsers does it work in?
For both sides of a live call, use desktop Chrome or Edge and share a meeting tab in the same browser with tab audio enabled. Audio from another browser or desktop app depends on your system's sharing options. A phone can listen through its microphone to an in-person conversation, but cannot capture a call in another app on that phone. On this device file transcription uses WebAssembly or WebGPU and depends on browser decoding and memory. Online sends a supported recording for server-side processing without a browser-model download; the tool shows current formats, languages and limits.
Can I get the full transcript, or only a summary?
Both. The complete text is kept alongside the summary and can be downloaded. A summary is a compression and compressions lose detail — the moment you need to check exactly what somebody committed to is the moment a summary is least useful.
Great ideas shouldn't disappear.
Free, with no account required. Start on desktop Chrome or Edge for a browser call, or use a microphone for an in-person conversation.
