Records and transcribes online meetings. Automatically.

Amanu works with any call — Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram, WhatsApp. It starts and stops recording on its own, identifies speakers, and can write a high-quality summary after the meeting.

Speaker diarization

The transcript is separated by speaker instead of being merged into a single stream.

High-quality summaries

Other apps like it economize on tokens. At scale, that improves their margins at the expense of summary quality.

I think it makes more sense to save our time and let the models do their best work — especially if you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT.

Your meeting library stays on your Mac

One meeting, one folder: the audio, transcript, and summary live together. Processing can stay local too, or use a cloud model you choose.

Every meeting: transcript, speaker names, and summary.

If you prefer, connect powerful paid models: Amanu can use your subscriptions and API keys.
