In-person meetings

Transcribe in-person meetings — without a bot at the table.

Most AI notetakers send a bot into a video call, so they're useless in a conference room, a lecture, or a 1:1 across the desk. MeetingSidekick runs in your browser and listens through your own device — so you get a transcript, a summary, and action items from the meetings that actually happen in the room. No app. No bot. No one new at the table.

Three steps

How it works in the room

If you can hear it, Sidekick can note it. No setup, no download.

1

Open it in your browser

On your phone or laptop, go to MeetingSidekick — nothing to install. Sign in free, no credit card.

2

Press Start, set it down

Your device listens to the room through its microphone. Let everyone know you're taking notes, then focus on the conversation.

3

Get the notes

When you stop, you have a full transcript, a summary with decisions and action items, and a chat to ask the meeting anything.

Where it fits

Built for the meetings a bot can't join

Anywhere the conversation is in the room — not in a video call a bot can dial into.

Client & sales meetings

Sit across the table and stay present. Walk out with a clean recap and a list of follow-ups instead of half-legible notes.

Lectures & classes

Capture the whole lecture and get a structured summary you can actually study from — and ask it questions later.

Interviews & 1:1s

A recording bot makes a candid conversation stiff. Keep your own notes on your device and keep the room human.

Workshops & stand-ups

Whiteboard sessions, daily stand-ups, on-site reviews — the kind of meeting that never happens on a Zoom link.

Advisor & consult visits

Financial reviews, consultations, site visits. Notes get written for you, so you can listen instead of scribble.

Calls on speaker

Even a phone call on speaker works — your device hears both sides, no dial-in bot required.

The difference

Why a bot can't do this

Bot-based notetakers are great on a video call — and stuck the moment the meeting leaves one.

No call to join

An in-person meeting has no meeting link. A bot has nothing to dial into; MeetingSidekick just listens through your device.

Nothing to install

No desktop app, no browser extension, no calendar connection. Open a web page and press Start.

Your audio, your notes

Audio is used to transcribe — not to train AI models. Nothing's shared unless you share it, and you can delete anything permanently.

Questions

In-person transcription, answered

Can I transcribe an in-person meeting without installing an app?

Yes. MeetingSidekick runs in your web browser. Open the site on your phone or laptop, press Start, and it transcribes what your device hears — no app to install and no bot joining a call.

How does it transcribe a meeting without a bot?

Instead of sending a bot into a video call, MeetingSidekick captures audio through your own device's microphone. So it works anywhere you can hear the conversation — a conference room, a lecture hall, or a 1:1 interview.

Do I need to tell people I'm taking notes?

Yes — always take notes with everyone's awareness and consent. MeetingSidekick is for legitimate note-taking, not secret recording, and recording laws vary by location, so let participants know.

What do I get after the meeting?

A full transcript, an AI summary with key points, decisions, and action items, and the ability to ask the meeting questions afterward.

Is it free?

Yes — free to start with no credit card. The free plan includes two hours of recording each month, with paid plans for heavier use.

Use MeetingSidekick only for legitimate note-taking, with the awareness and consent of everyone present. Recording and note-taking laws vary by location — you're responsible for following the ones that apply to you.
