Meetingly
The answer, while they're still asking.
An open-source AI assistant for live meetings and interviews. It listens to the call, transcribes it on your own computer and puts the answer on screen the moment a question is asked. Free with an account, or bring your own OpenAI, OpenRouter or Ollama key. An open-source alternative to Cluely.
Also: Intel Mac · Debian / Ubuntu (.deb) · Windows portable · meetinglyai.com
Features
- Real answers, instantly. When the other side asks something, the answer appears right away: one bold line you can say, then a few catch points to expand on. No coaching, no "you could mention…".
- Suggested questions. A side column follows the conversation and offers one-click questions: the question you were just asked, terms that came up, the likely next question.
- Speech recognition on your computer. NVIDIA Nemotron runs locally in 28 languages, so your audio never leaves your machine and there is no per-minute cost.
- You and Them, separated. Your microphone and the call audio are transcribed apart, so the transcript reads like a chat.
- Screen analysis. One click reads what is on your screen (a coding task, a slide, a question) and answers it.
- Hidden from screen sharing. The windows are excluded from screen shares and recordings on Windows and macOS.
- Meeting reports. Every meeting ends with a summary, decisions, action items and follow-ups.
- Your own API key, or none of ours. Use the free plan, or point Meetingly at OpenAI, OpenRouter, a local Ollama model or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Updates itself on Windows, macOS and Linux, never in the middle of a call.

Your own key, no account. Open the Meetingly menu (the tray icon next to the clock) and choose Use your own API key…, pick a provider, paste a key and choose a model. Answers go straight from your computer to that provider; nothing passes through Meetingly's servers, and there are no limits but your provider's.
| Provider | API address | Key |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | https://api.openai.com/v1 |
from platform.openai.com |
| OpenRouter | https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 |
from openrouter.ai |
| Ollama (fully local) | http://localhost:11434/v1 |
none |
| Anything OpenAI-compatible (LM Studio, vLLM, LiteLLM…) | its /v1 address |
if it needs one |
The key is stored on your computer, encrypted with the operating system's keychain. Screen analysis needs a model that accepts images.

How it works
flowchart LR
A["Microphone + call audio"] --> B["Speech recognition<br/>on your computer"]
B --> C["Live transcript<br/>You / Them"]
C --> D["Answer on screen"]
C --> E["Suggested questions"]
D -.-> F["Meetingly relay<br/>(Free, Pro, Unlimited)"]
D -.-> G["Your own endpoint<br/>(OpenAI, Ollama…)"]
Your audio stays on your computer. Only the transcript text, your questions and the screenshots you choose to analyze go to the AI: through Meetingly's relay on the Free, Pro and Unlimited plans (it holds the provider keys and picks the model for each task), or straight to your own endpoint when you use your own key.
Install notes
The installers aren't code-signed yet, so the first launch asks once:
- Windows: SmartScreen says the app is unrecognized. Click More info, then Run anyway.
- macOS: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Keep the app in Applications so it can update itself.
- Linux:
chmod +x Meetingly-linux.AppImageand run it, or install the .deb.
