Amie AI

What is Amie AI?

Amie AI is an AI-powered meeting notes and productivity app that records, transcribes, and summarizes your calls — without requiring a bot to join your meetings. Founded by Dennis Müller, Amie positions itself as a smarter alternative to tools like Fireflies, Otter, and Fathom by eliminating the awkward "bot in the room" experience. Instead, Amie records directly from your Mac's notch (or a floating UI on devices without a notch), giving you full control over what gets captured and when.

Unlike traditional meeting note-takers that join as participants and announce themselves, Amie works silently in the background. You can pause recording for off-the-record conversations, split recordings when staying in the same room for multiple meetings, and the app automatically stops when your microphone is idle. The result is a meeting notes experience that feels natural rather than intrusive.

Amie goes beyond simple transcription. Its AI generates summaries, extracts action items, drafts follow-up emails, and can even update your CRM. The app connects to your calendar (Google and Apple), to-do lists, and communication tools like Slack and HubSpot. It supports 17 languages with high accuracy and 82 more without speaker labeling, making it a viable option for multilingual teams. Amie is available on macOS with a companion mobile app, and it works with any video call provider including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, Whereby, Webex, and BlueJeans.

Key Features

• Bot-Free Recording: Amie records meetings from your Mac's notch or a floating UI overlay. No bot joins your calls, so there's no awkward introduction or participant notification. You control recording start and stop from a small, unobtrusive interface that stays out of your way.
• AI Summaries with Context Awareness: Unlike generic AI summarizers that produce templated output, Amie learns from your private notes and business context. You can add private notes before or during a meeting, and the AI uses those as focus points for the summary. This produces summaries that actually capture what matters to your team rather than generic bullet points.
• Automatic Action Items: Amie identifies tasks, decisions, and follow-ups from your conversations and converts them into actionable to-do items. With one click, you can add these to your task list. The AI can also schedule them on your calendar based on priority and deadlines mentioned in the meeting.
• AI-Drafted Emails and CRM Updates: After a meeting, Amie can draft follow-up emails summarizing key points and next steps. For Business plan users, it integrates with HubSpot and Pipedrive to automatically update CRM records with meeting notes, action items, and contact details — saving significant manual data entry time.
• AI Chat for Meeting Knowledge Base: You can ask Amie questions about any past meeting — "What did we agree about the Q3 budget?" or "When is the next product review?" — and it searches across your entire meeting history to provide answers. This turns your meeting notes into a searchable knowledge base.
• Multi-Language Support: Amie transcribes and summarizes in 17 languages with high accuracy (including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and more) and supports 82 additional languages without speaker labeling. This makes it suitable for global teams where meetings happen in multiple languages.
• AI Scheduling: Beyond note-taking, Amie includes AI-powered scheduling that suggests optimal meeting times based on your calendar, past meeting patterns, and team availability. It integrates with your connected calendars to find slots that work for everyone.

Who Should Use It

Amie AI is designed for professionals who attend frequent meetings and need reliable, context-aware notes without the overhead of managing a separate bot. Sales teams will benefit from the CRM integration — HubSpot and Pipedrive sync means meeting notes automatically populate deal records. Account executives and customer success managers who spend hours on calls can reclaim that time by letting Amie handle note-taking and follow-up drafting.

Product managers and engineering leads who juggle multiple meetings across different projects will appreciate the AI Chat feature for searching past decisions and action items. Remote and hybrid teams where meetings happen across time zones and languages will find the multi-language transcription and time zone-aware scheduling particularly valuable.

The app is also well-suited for individual contributors and freelancers who want a lightweight meeting notes solution that doesn't require adding a bot to every calendar invite. Since Amie records from your device rather than joining as a participant, you can use it for any meeting without needing organizer permissions or worrying about bot policies.

Pricing

Amie offers two paid plans, both with a 7-day free trial. The Pro plan costs $20 per user per month when billed annually (or monthly at a higher rate) and includes unlimited meeting notes, bot-free recordings, AI-drafted emails, unlimited AI Chat messages, and AI scheduling. The Business plan costs $40 per user per month billed annually and adds CRM integrations (HubSpot, Pipedrive), custom templates, custom branding on shared notes, and advanced security features. Yearly billing gives you 20% off the monthly rate. There is no free tier — Amie requires a paid subscription after the trial period.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• No bot in calls: The notch-based recording is genuinely more natural than having a bot join as a participant. Meeting attendees won't even know you're recording unless you tell them.
• Context-aware summaries: The ability to add private notes that guide the AI summary is a unique feature that produces better results than any competitor's templated summaries.
• CRM integration: Automatic HubSpot and Pipedrive updates save sales teams hours of manual data entry per week. This alone can justify the Business plan cost.
• Multi-language accuracy: 17 languages with speaker labeling is better than most competitors, which typically handle 5-10 languages well.

Cons

• macOS-only recording: The recording feature currently requires a Mac. Windows and Linux users cannot record meetings natively, though the mobile app offers some functionality. This is a significant limitation for PC users.
• No free tier: Unlike Otter (which offers a generous free plan) or Fireflies (which has a free tier), Amie requires a paid subscription after 7 days. This makes it harder to evaluate long-term.
• No Exchange/Outlook calendar sync: Like Notion Calendar, Amie only syncs with Google and Apple calendars. Microsoft 365 users cannot connect their work calendars, which limits enterprise adoption.
• Relatively new product: Amie's feature set is growing rapidly, but some integrations (like Attio CRM) are listed as "coming soon." The app's ecosystem is less mature than Otter or Fireflies.

Alternatives

Otter AI is the most established meeting notes app, offering real-time transcription, speaker identification, and automated slide capture. It has a generous free tier (300 minutes/month) and works on both Mac and Windows. Otter's bot joins your calendar meetings automatically, which some users find convenient and others find intrusive. Otter is the better choice if you need a free plan or work on Windows.

Fireflies.ai offers similar meeting transcription and summarization with broader CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, and more). It supports 60+ languages and works with virtually every video conferencing platform. Fireflies has a free tier (limited hours) and paid plans starting at $10/month. It's a strong alternative if you need deep Salesforce integration or work across multiple CRMs.

Fathom is a free meeting notes app that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls without a bot (similar to Amie's approach). It works on Mac and Windows and integrates with HubSpot and Salesforce. Fathom is completely free for individuals, making it the best zero-cost alternative. However, it lacks Amie's AI Chat knowledge base and CRM auto-update features.
