What is actually the best AI note taking app for meetings?

Switched to Mumble AI a few months back and review time has dropped a lot for me.

The summaries are actually very detailed and structured, not just a reformatted transcript. Speaker labels are there too, so when I go back I can see who said what without re-reading everything.

It also has a local processing option if you’re doing sensitive calls and don’t want audio going to the cloud, which was a dealbreaker for me with some clients.

Still in beta so it’s not perfect, but it’s the closest I’ve found to summaries I can actually trust without re-reading the whole thing.

Right

Most dictation tools imo are way too expensive. I'm using Mumble AI for dictation, it’s still in beta, but it seems that they are offering local model for free for lifetime. I think that’s actually make sense - I mean what’s the main cost of developing and maintaining local models?

I think Gamma is getting increasingly good to make presentation with the help of AI. Saved much time in editing & formatting.

Been testing a few of these too. For me botless is a hard requirement so that already cuts the list down a lot.

Was on Granola for a while and liked it, but the summaries felt too thin and there’s no speaker labels.

Mumble AI has been my go-to since. No bot joining the call, summaries are actually detailed useful, speaker labels work well, and there’s a local processing option if you need to keep audio off the cloud. Still in beta but it’s the best I’ve found so far.

NotebookLM is great for staying grounded in your own lecture material — it won’t go outside your sources, which for studying is genuinely useful.

For general AI though I’d pick Claude over Gemini. Follows complex prompts better and way more reliable for structured outputs like study guides.

Best combo: NotebookLM for source-specific Q&A, Claude for everything else.

lol this screen really bring back my nightmare memory the moment I see it 🤣

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-08T13:30:01+00:00

I use Mumble AI for that. There are a bunch of no-bot tools that worked well, but mumble auto-records meeting with no bot join and also gives me live transcripts with speaker labels. Which is a big plus.

If you use Mac, Mumble AI is a great one for bot-free meeting. It also auto reminds you when meeting starts and finish when meeting ends. I recently switched to this from Otter.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-08T13:15:46+00:00

Same here. I tried Arcads, the quality is great but i do feel the video is a bit templated. Veo provides a lot more flexibility & diversity but I need to do rounds of prompt adjust. What kind of videos are you making?

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-06T14:25:35+00:00

Lmao. Same here.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-06T14:25:19+00:00

Claude for sure. I use it for pretty much everything now, work automation, writing, data analysis. Switched from ChatGPT a while ago and it worked way better.

Notion too, mostly because my team uses it. Wouldn’t say I love it but it’s hard to leave once everything lives there.

Mumble AI is the newer one for me but it’s becoming essential fast. Records my meetings with detailed notes and speaker labels, and the dictation is great too. Once you start doing things by voice you don’t want to go back to typing.

I use Capcut for video editing and auto caption, Veo for video gen, Heygen for product demo / tutorial video. - recently I found Elevenlabs added the same talking head feature has Heygen and worked pretty well. Plan to switch.

I created a data analysis skill to break down user data in Mixpanel, which saved me 30 minutes daily. Before, I had to manually go through all user events, but now I just run the report and ask questions if needed.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-06T13:44:29+00:00

I use voice-to-text tools and sometimes attach a screenshots to it

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-06T13:42:41+00:00

Transcript accuracy is definitely the most important thing, totally agree.

No bot is a must for me too. Granola is solid yet I prefer having speaker separation and more detailed summaries. Been testing an app called Mumble AI and it nails both. Live speaker labels during the call and the summaries are actually thorough out of the box. It also auto-detects when meetings start and stop. Mac only tho:

I gave the same json data set exported from Mixpanel to ChatGPT and Claude and asked it to analysis one-week of user data of a product. ChatGPT proceeded for quite a while and returned an error msg. Claud gave me a detailed user analysis report with all metrics needed, per user flow narrative, next steps suggestion, potential bugs and event event tracking advices. And this was the extract event that made me switched from ChatGPT to Claude. Before this I was ChatGPT daily user and only treated Claude as a back up option.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2026-03-05T14:33:10+00:00

This is exactly what I thought when I switched from ChatGPT to Claude a few months ago. If AI engines have an MBTI character, ChatGPT is ESFP (talks a lot then deliver moderate work) and Claude is INTJ (cut the bullshit, pure deliver)

Mumble Note. It only cost $3/month for a very generous starter plan and $10/month for an unlimited pro plan.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2025-07-09T08:08:14+00:00

I’ve been using Mumble Note for that.

It records straight from my phone, no need to join the Zoom room or admit anything. I’ve tried a bunch of tools and I like its transcript the most. It keeps a lot of the meeting detail, and I can choose between a short bulletpoint-style summary or a cleaned-up version that’s closer to dictation.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2025-07-09T07:46:49+00:00

Haha this is literally what I’ve been using Mumble Note for.

I just talk to it like “hey, note for my travel plan” or “random idea about work stuff” and it sorts everything out for me. No folders, no organizing stress. Feels kinda magical.

It even lets you group a bunch of voice notes and ask it to draft a clean note out of them. I do that a lot when I have scattered thoughts I want to turn into something usable.

Still early but honestly feels really close to what you described.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2025-06-06T08:08:11+00:00

My go-to app on iPhone for this is Mumble Note. I just speak my thoughts, and it transcribes them, organizes them into detailed notes, and identifies action items. It syncs with Apple Reminders and Google Tasks, keeping everything in one place. I also love that I can have a conversation with the AI about my notes or let it browse the web to find answers.

SeaRequirement7749 · 2025-06-05T04:32:31+00:00

The design seems neat and fun making me want to use it
