Jamie skips the meeting bot but still uploads your audio to its Frankfurt servers for cloud processing. LUCI is bot-free and fully local: transcription, summaries, memory, and search all run on your own Mac or Windows machine. Nothing to upload means no vendor to trust with your meetings.
100% on-device life memory for every AI agent: bot-free meeting notes, screen memory, and your whole day, recallable. Works offline. Mac & Windows.
Bot-free capture with cloud processing: audio uploaded to EU (Frankfurt) servers, notes generated via the OpenAI API. Audio only.
Jamie (meetjamie.ai) deserves credit for popularizing bot-free capture: no awkward 'notetaker has joined' moment, works for in-person conversations, GDPR-audited, EU-only servers. But read its own privacy page closely and the architecture is still cloud: audio is captured on your machine, then uploaded to a server in Frankfurt, transcribed on rented GPUs, and summarized through the OpenAI API — with transcripts retained on that server afterward. That's a well-run cloud, and for many teams it's enough. LUCI removes the cloud entirely. Capture, transcription, summarization, screen memory, and search all execute on your own device; recordings and transcripts stay there, encrypted at rest. If 'no bot' is why you'd pick Jamie, 'no upload' is why you'd pick LUCI.

Download the meeting notes and transcripts you want to keep from your Jamie workspace — LUCI imports past notes into its local memory.
One installer, no account-hosted processing to configure. Grant microphone and screen permissions and LUCI captures your next meeting bot-free, just like Jamie did.
Record a short test meeting with Wi-Fi off. Transcription and summaries still work — that’s the difference between local capture with cloud processing and a fully on-device pipeline.
Enable the AI screen recorder and agent follow-ups — the parts of your work Jamie never covered.
Capture every Zoom, Meet & Teams call locally on your device — no bot joins the call — and turn it into searchable notes and action items.
Jamie’s own privacy documentation says audio is uploaded to Frankfurt, processed on cloud GPUs, and summarized through the OpenAI API, with transcripts kept on its servers. Every step is disclosed and GDPR-audited — but it’s still your meetings on someone else’s infrastructure. LUCI processes everything on your machine, so there is no server-side copy to secure, subpoena, or breach.
Turn off Wi-Fi and record a meeting. LUCI keeps transcribing, summarizing, and remembering, because the models run on your device. A cloud-processing notetaker can’t — the audio has nowhere to go. It’s the simplest falsifiable test of a privacy claim, and LUCI passes it.
Jamie captures meeting audio. LUCI also records and indexes your screen locally — the specs you reviewed, the numbers you checked — and folds it into one searchable memory alongside every meeting.
Jamie meters by meetings per month and hours per meeting (30 minutes on Free, 2–3 hours on paid tiers). LUCI records up to 4-hour sessions with no monthly meeting count on your own recordings — local processing means your usage doesn’t cost anyone cloud GPU time.
Jamie is privacy-conscious cloud: EU-only servers, GDPR audits, audio deleted after transcription. LUCI removes the trust question instead of managing it — audio, transcripts, and memory stay on your device, encrypted at rest, so there is no vendor server involved at all.
Yes. Neither sends a bot into your Zoom, Meet, or Teams call — both capture system and microphone audio on your machine. They differ in what happens next: Jamie uploads that audio for cloud processing; LUCI processes it in place.
Yes. LUCI records through your laptop’s microphone for in-person conversations, then transcribes and indexes them locally — same as any online meeting.
With LUCI, yes — transcription runs live on-device. Jamie generates notes after the meeting ends, once the audio has been uploaded and processed in the cloud.
Jamie states it is — German company, EU data residency, annual external GDPR audits. For teams whose compliance question is ‘where is the data processed?’, LUCI’s answer is simpler: on the device it was recorded on, nowhere else.
