Handwriting notes means missing the next sentence. An AI note taker captures everything and structures it after - you stay present in the room.
The Pipeline
1) Record audio. 2) faster-whisper (24,790 stars) transcribes in near real-time. 3) Ollama (177,874 stars) structures the transcript: summary, key points, action items, open questions. 4) Khoj (36,367 stars) or any search tool indexes the archive - you can query months of notes. Everything local, everything searchable.
Notes That Work
The structure matters more than the transcript: a good template is Summary / Key Points / Decisions / Action Items / Open Questions. Generate it per session, then append to a per-project file. Review weekly - notes you never read are just storage.
FAQ

Q: What about privacy?
A: Local processing means recordings and notes never leave your device - safe for confidential meetings.
