Everything captured

One assistant. Every detail.

Seven AI systems working together in real time โ€” so you can be present in the meeting instead of taking notes.

Every word streamed through OpenAI Whisper locally โ€” accurate, real-time, and completely offline.

Action Item Extraction

"Sarah will send the report" becomes a tracked task with an assignee โ€” detected as it's spoken.

How it works

Set it. Forget it. Ask it anything.

No bots joining your calls. No uploads. FloatNote listens where you listen โ€” on your machine.

1

Start FloatNote

Launch the app before your meeting. It captures your microphone and watches your screen in the background.

2

It builds memory

Speech, speakers, slides, and action items are indexed into a local database as the meeting happens.

3

Query everything

Get a summary the second the call ends โ€” or ask the chatbot about any meeting from weeks ago.

Who it's for

Built for people who live in meetings

If information passes through a call, FloatNote makes sure it never gets lost.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Product & Engineering

Standups, sprint planning, retros โ€” decisions and owners captured without breaking flow.

๐Ÿ“ž

Sales & Client Calls

Focus on the customer, not your notepad. Every commitment is recorded and searchable.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Research & Interviews

Interviews transcribed with speaker labels โ€” quote sources accurately, every time.

๐ŸŽ“

Students & Lectures

Lectures become searchable notes with slide text included. Revise by asking questions.

Under the hood

Serious engineering, open to everyone

A modern local-first AI stack โ€” every line of it open source.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything people usually ask before installing.

Does my audio get uploaded to the cloud?
No. Transcription (Whisper) and speaker diarization (PyAnnote) run entirely on your machine. Only optional features โ€” AI summaries and the chatbot LLM โ€” call external APIs, and those only send text, never audio.
Does it join my meetings as a bot?
Never. FloatNote listens through your microphone and reads your screen locally. It works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, or any app โ€” because it doesn't need to integrate with any of them.
What can the meeting chatbot answer?
Anything grounded in your meeting history: "What were the action items from Monday?", "What deadline did the client mention?", "Summarize what Speaker 01 said about the budget." Answers come from a local vector index of your transcripts.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows 10/11 today. The stack is cross-platform (Python + Electron), and macOS/Linux builds are on the roadmap. You can also run it from source on any OS right now.
Is it really free?
Yes โ€” FloatNote is fully open source. Download the app or clone the repository and run it from source. Optional cloud AI features use free-tier API keys you control.
