Claude now sits in on your meetings โ live. And it's free. ๐๏ธ
The headline feature in this month's drop is meeting-scribe, and it does something the SaaS notetakers can't.
Granola, Fireflies, Otter โ they hand you a transcript after the call. meeting-scribe gives Claude the transcript live, as the person is speaking. So Claude isn't a notetaker โ it's in the room with you.
What it does, mid-call:
โข ๐ฌ Answers your questions โ "what budget did they just say?" "did we cover the timeline yet?"
โข โ
Creates and ticks off todos as you speak โ "add that to the follow-up." Done.
โข โ๏ธ Drafts the follow-up email before you've even hung up
โข ๐ง Pulls context from your CRM and from earlier in the same call
โข ๐ Suggests the next question to ask to move the deal forward
โข ๐ Walks you out with a clean, diarized transcript that auto-logs to your CRM
โข โ๏ธ Syncs every transcript to your Google Drive โ searchable, on every device
And the best parts:
It's free. No subscription. It's open source โ you're replacing a $10โ18/mo notetaker with something you own.
It's local and botless. No bot joining your call, no audio uploaded to anyone's cloud. It runs on your machine (macOS), taps system audio directly, and nothing leaves your laptop except the transcript you choose to sync.

๐ This one's a community win โ shoutout to Rheed
meeting-scribe is built on solo-scribe, which Rheed MacPherson built and open-sourced (MIT). One of our own shipped something genuinely great, opened it up, and now the whole community gets a live-meeting copilot on top of it.
This is exactly the network effect we keep talking about: one person solves a hard problem, shares it, and everyone levels up. Win-win, every time. Thank you Rheed ๐

It's in the June boilerplate drop โ free, with setup docs included (one-time: Python env + an audio device, ~10 min, all documented). Try it on your next call and tell us the first thing you asked Claude mid-meeting. ๐
