AI meeting notes without a bot —inside a memory of your whole day

LUCI takes AI meeting notes for every Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams call locally, on-device, with no bot joining. Those notes do not sit in a folder: they join the memory of your whole day on the computer, searchable in plain English and readable by every AI agent you use. 100% free. 100% local — captured and stored on your device, encrypted at rest.

Why traditional AI meeting notes fall short

The first generation of AI meeting notetakers solved a real problem: you no longer had to scribble during a call. Tools like Otter, Fireflies, and Granola can join a meeting, produce a transcript, and pull out a few bullet points. That is useful. It is also incomplete. The notes sit in a folder, the action items get forgotten, and by the time you open the doc next week the context that made them meaningful is gone.

LUCI is a different category. It is an AI meeting memory built around three ideas most notetakers ignore: meetings only matter in context, action items only matter if you can find them when it counts, and your conversations should never have to leave your machine. LUCI captures the meeting, connects it to every other meeting and screen activity in your week, and keeps it all searchable — by you, and by your AI agents over MCP. The transcript is a side effect — the outcome is a memory that compounds.

What makes LUCI different

Every AI agent you use can read the meeting

Action items are useless if nobody can find them. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and the other agents you already run read the same memory, so they answer from what was actually said — commitments, decisions, the context around them — instead of asking you to re-paste it. The recordings themselves stay on your device.

Captures every meeting, on every platform

LUCI captures audio and on-screen context locally on your Mac or Windows machine. No meeting bot, no calendar permissions, no awkward 'LUCI has joined the call' notifications. It works for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, and in-person conversations recorded on your laptop.

Persistent memory, not throwaway notes

Most AI notetakers forget the meeting the moment it ends. LUCI remembers. Every transcript, decision, and action item joins a long-term memory that is searchable in plain English. Ask 'what did Anna commit to last quarter on pricing?' and get a cited answer pulled from three different meetings.

Local-first and private

Your recordings stay on your device. The desktop app stores transcripts and memory in a local index, encrypted at rest — nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Private by design, so security and compliance teams can adopt it across the org with confidence.

How AI meeting notes work inside LUCI

1. Capture. Open LUCI on your Mac or Windows machine, hit record, and join your call normally. LUCI captures system audio, microphone audio, and a low-bandwidth screen recording so it has both what was said and what was shown. Everything stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to the cloud.

2. Transcribe and diarize. When the meeting ends, LUCI runs state-of-the-art speech-to-text with speaker diarization. Transcripts include timestamps and link directly to the recording, so every claim in a summary can be traced to a moment in the call.

3. Summarize and extract. A meeting agent reads the transcript, decisions, and screen context, then writes a tight summary with action items, owners, and deadlines. You get a meeting recap, not a wall of text.

4. Remember. Every meeting is folded into LUCI's persistent memory. The next time you ask a question — "what did we decide about the EU launch?" — LUCI reaches across every meeting and screen session you have ever recorded and returns a cited answer.

5. Recall. The memory is not locked inside the app. Connect your AI agents over MCP and let Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-capable tool query your meeting history directly — while the recordings themselves stay on your device.

AI meeting notes for every workflow

LUCI works for solo founders, sales teams, engineering managers, and anyone whose calendar fills up with meetings that need to leave a trace.

Sales: never lose a deal detail again

LUCI listens to every discovery call, demo, and renewal conversation. It auto-tags objections, pricing discussions, and commitments, so before every follow-up you can pull the exact quote, the exact number, and the exact promise — from real conversations instead of optimistic memory.

Managers: 1:1s that compound over time

Each 1:1 is captured, summarized, and connected to the last six conversations with the same teammate. Before the next sync, LUCI surfaces 'last time you said you would unblock the QA pipeline — is that done?' so nothing slips between weekly catch-ups.

Founders: investor updates without manual recall

Investor calls, customer interviews, and internal strategy reviews all land in the same memory. Ask 'what are the three concerns investors raised this quarter?' and LUCI returns a cited summary, ready to drop into a board doc.

Knowledge workers: end the rewatch loop

Stop scrubbing through hour-long recordings looking for that one number. LUCI lets you search recordings in plain English and jump to the exact timestamp. The action items are extracted and waiting for you before you finish your coffee.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI meeting notetaker?

An AI meeting notetaker is software that joins or listens to your video calls, automatically transcribes the conversation, and produces a structured summary with action items, decisions, and follow-ups. LUCI goes further than most notetakers by remembering every meeting in a persistent, searchable memory layer that you — and your AI agents, over MCP — can query at any time.

Does LUCI work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?

Yes. LUCI runs as a local desktop app on macOS and Windows and captures audio plus on-screen context from any meeting platform — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, or in-person calls recorded on your laptop. There is no meeting bot to invite and no calendar integration required.

Is LUCI a good Granola, Fireflies, or Otter alternative?

LUCI is built for people who outgrew single-purpose notetakers. Unlike Granola, it has long-term memory across every meeting and the screen activity in between. Unlike Fireflies, it does not send a bot into your calls. Unlike Otter, it does not stop at transcripts — it extracts action items, remembers them, and makes them searchable across every meeting.

How accurate is the AI meeting transcription?

LUCI uses state-of-the-art speech-to-text models with speaker diarization. Transcripts are accurate enough to ground summaries, citations, and search. Every claim links back to a timestamp in the original recording so you can verify it yourself.

Is my meeting data private?

Yes. LUCI runs entirely on your device, so recordings, transcripts, and memories stay on your machine and are never uploaded to the cloud. We never train models on your data. Private by design, secure by default.

How long of a meeting can LUCI handle?

LUCI handles meetings up to four hours long in a single session, with no daily or monthly cap on your own recordings. Longer sessions are chunked and indexed so you can search any moment instantly.

How much does LUCI cost?

LUCI is 100% free — there are no paid plans, no Pro tier, and no subscription. Everything runs locally on your own machine, so your recordings and memory stay on your device, encrypted at rest.
