Hi,

I maintain my second brain in obsidian but I keep getting collaboration requests from my colleagues who use notion and google docs.

I just wanted to find a way to do smart retrieval across all my online knowledge and then make sense across all the notes without having to duplicate them.

> You are doing great work, and I do think making it open-source is a smart strategic choice. There's still so much potential for building AI intelligence products on top of video call recordings, and right now you are offering the only practical foundation to build such systems on.

Thank you :D

> I've been keeping a close eye because $1/h is unsustainable for what we are building, and there's no good reason why it should cost so much. It's manageable for early traction, but soon we'll need to consider either to build all those integrations ourselves or to build on top of Amurex. We might be contributing soon.

Sounds great! We are super happy to support all the integrations. If you can message me on discord, I'd be super keen to hear what you have to say.

> I did see in GitHub that Teams support was almost done, exciting! Do you plan to continue with the browser extension model, or are you also looking for solutions to record meetings that happen in the Teams/Zoom native client?

Coming soon ;)

> I think this is why most companies do it by creating a bot that joins the meeting, it's also great free advertising for them. Of course it's a bit awkward for the user, but it's becoming a normal thing, and ethically it's better to be explicit about the fact you are recording.

The problem with bots is that

- first, they are annoying. - second, I have a tendency to reject all the bots joining my meeting because they are annoying, which deems the bot products practically useless.

And you raise a good point about ethics, we expect the users to be grown up about their decisions. The users are expected to act according to their state laws.

I grew up reading and being influenced by liberation in FOSS software. I don't really want to impose our own "laws" on a user if their state says otherwise.

Ah yes, a locally-run, mostly-accurate speaker recognition pipeline that isn't open source. Love to see cool features locked away while the rest of us plebs make do with whatever scraps the OSS world has managed to build. But hey, at least it kind of works, so you can enjoy your slightly-wrong diarization in private.

Truly the future of meetings.

Hey there

The creator of Amurex here. Thank you for the kind words :D More platform support is coming very soon ;) (read next week)

> The only API services available are Recall.ai and MeetingBaaS, they both support the big three (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom), but they are rather expensive at $0.5 - $1 per hour.

seems like someone has told you our internal roadmap xD but I am glad to see we are on the right track to solve the problem :D

It is open source so you can inspect the code :D

I understand that this is your preference. But I still don't understand why do you prefer that instead.

We do it right now :D

Just click on the download transcript

> Are there any similar tools that aren't browser dependent?

We might come up with something like this ;) What platform do you use for meetings? Or these some other issue for it being made for Chrome?
jtswole

Thank you for suggestion. But in all honesty, f*ck Microsoft.

Trying to trademark copilot is trying to trademark something like ASI or AGI. Co-pilot has been widely used in the aviation industry, and by definition means a person/companion who can help you navigate.

So, I hope their trademark request gets rejected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you! We have the ability to do real time suggestions based on your context files like Cursor but for meetings. and also late meeting recaps.

But thank you, need to update the readme now :D

> While I was looking for how to swap out the backend to self-hosted, I noticed that analytics is hardcoded to true. Something to be aware of.

Hostility is definitely not the intention, which is why we provide a way to turn it off in the config.

But looks like we should provide a way to turn it off in a settings page somewhere too.

Good shout. We will add a paid tier at some point, but unsure of the pricing for now. However, the self hosted version will be free forever and there will be a generous free tier too.

Do you have any suggestions for the copy?

Everything is open source under AGPL licence. Maybe I can improve the README. What was harder to find for you?
