To record an in-person meeting with AI, put your phone on the table and press record in MeetNotes. When the meeting ends you get a transcript with each speaker labelled, plus minutes of meeting: summary, decisions and action items with owners, as PDF or Word. It needs no bot, no video call and no recorder device, and it works when the room switches language mid-sentence.
For: Client meetings, sales visits, site walkthroughs, factory floors, consultations, interviews, committee and board meetings
Free to start · 100 minutes included

07:30Most meeting assistants work by joining a video call: they need a link, a calendar invite and a stream of audio to listen to. A meeting around a table has none of those. The usual workarounds are to type through the meeting, write it up from memory afterwards, or buy a separate AI recorder device. MeetNotes uses the one microphone that is already in the room: the phone in your pocket.
Put the phone flat between the speakers, screen up. Distance matters more than anything else: the quietest voice should be the closest one you can manage.
Tell the room you are recording and why. It is courteous, it is how you get consent, and it means nobody is surprised by the minutes.
Press record and have the meeting you would have had anyway. No language to choose, no speaker setup.
When you stop, the recording uploads and the transcript comes back labelled by speaker. Confirm the names once, and the minutes use them.
More on consent: what to say before you press record.

The full comparison, including when a device is the better choice: MeetNotes vs Plaud.
Yes. MeetNotes records the meeting on your phone and produces the transcript and minutes from that recording. There is nothing else to buy or set up.
A bot only exists for video calls. For an in-person meeting, put a phone running MeetNotes on the table and press record — nothing joins anything.
Yes. The transcript labels each speaker. You confirm who each voice is once, and people you have named are recognised again in later meetings.
There is no language to set. Mixed-language meetings are transcribed as spoken, and you choose the language the minutes are written in.
Rules vary by country and situation. The safe, normal practice is to tell everyone you are recording and get a clear yes before you start. Our guide covers what to say.
Long enough for a normal meeting, including meetings of several hours. Each minute of recording uses a minute of your balance, and you start with 100 free.
