jamie
German-built, EU-hosted, bot-free notes in 99 languages
jamie is a bot-free AI meeting assistant from Berlin that captures audio locally on your device for online, hybrid, and in-person meetings, deletes the audio once transcription finishes, and produces structured notes and transcripts in more than 99 languages; it is hosted entirely in the EU, holds ISO 27001, states that customer data is never used to train models, and is priced from a free tier up to €39 a month for individuals and €33 a seat for teams.
Overview
jamie is the European answer in a category dominated by American venture money. It was founded in Germany in 2022 and it has built its entire proposition around two things a lot of EU buyers cannot get elsewhere: complete EU hosting with EU data processing, and a bot-free capture model that never announces a vendor's name inside a meeting. If you are a German Mittelstand company, a European agency with GDPR obligations you actually enforce, or a professional services firm whose clients ask where the data lives, jamie is often the only tool on the shortlist that survives the question.
The capture model works like Granola's and Superpowered's: audio is taken locally from your device, transcribed, and then deleted. Nothing joins the meeting, nothing is announced, and because it is device audio rather than a platform integration, it works with any online meeting tool and also with hybrid and fully in-person conversations. Speaker recognition with speaker memory is included on higher tiers, so jamie learns to attribute lines to the same person across meetings rather than labelling everyone Speaker 1.
Language coverage is the standout capability. jamie claims support for more than 99 languages for both transcripts and generated notes, which is materially broader than most of the bot-free field and is a serious differentiator for anyone running multilingual European operations. Ask jamie provides conversational querying across your meeting history, and unlimited storage is included on every tier including free, so the archive is a real asset rather than a rationed resource.
The pricing is the thing to look at hard, because jamie is expensive in a way that is easy to miss. It is quoted in euros and, critically, the individual tiers are priced per user per month with a monthly meeting cap rather than by minute or seat pool. Free gives 10 meetings a month with a 30-minute ceiling per meeting. Plus at €21 gives 20 meetings a month with a 2-hour ceiling. Pro at €39 gives unlimited meetings with a 5-hour ceiling and unlocks Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana, and MCP access. Team is €33 a seat. Anyone in genuinely heavy meeting load is on the €39 tier or higher, which is nearly triple Granola Business.
Best for
European companies with real GDPR obligations and a requirement for EU data residency, multilingual teams working across many languages, and anyone who needs bot-free capture for both online and in-person meetings.
Not the right fit for
- Budget-driven buyers, because Pro at €39 a month is close to triple what Granola Business charges and the meeting caps on cheaper tiers make them unusable for anyone busy.
- US-only teams with no residency requirement, who are paying a premium for European hosting they will never be asked about.
- Sales organizations wanting call scoring, talk-time analytics, or coaching; jamie writes notes and pushes them to a CRM, it does not run revenue intelligence.
- Anyone who needs to review a recording, because audio is deleted after transcription and no video is ever kept.
- Teams needing capture of meetings they are not personally in, since bot-free means the device you are sitting at has to be present.
How it works
- 1
You install jamie on your device and connect a calendar. There is no bot to authorize with your meeting platform administrator and no browser extension dependency, so the same setup covers Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and any other online tool.
- 2
When a meeting starts, jamie captures audio locally. Nothing appears in the participant list and no notification fires to anyone else on the call. Because it is device audio, an in-person conversation across a table is captured the same way an online call is, which most browser-based competitors cannot do at all.
- 3
Transcription happens and the audio is then deleted. What is retained is the transcript and the generated notes, held in EU infrastructure with unlimited storage on every plan. Speaker recognition attributes lines, and speaker memory carries those identities forward into future meetings.
- 4
jamie produces structured notes and action items in your chosen language out of 99-plus supported, and Ask jamie lets you query across your meeting history conversationally. Pro and above route output into Salesforce, HubSpot, and Asana, and expose an MCP endpoint so an AI assistant can read your meeting context directly. Lower tiers sync to Notion, Google Docs, and OneNote.
Feature breakdown
25 features in 5 modulesBot-free capture, online and in person
Local device audio, deleted after transcription, on any platform.- Local audio capture
- Audio is taken from your own device rather than by a bot dialling in, so no vendor-named participant appears and a host who blocks external bots cannot block jamie.
- Audio deleted after transcription
- Once the transcript exists the audio is removed, so there is no recording sitting in EU storage waiting to become a liability.
- Works with every online platform
- Because capture is device-level rather than integration-level, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and anything else that produces sound are all covered without per-platform setup.
- In-person and hybrid meetings
- Face-to-face conversations are captured the same way as online calls, which is a capability browser-extension competitors like Tactiq and Scribbl simply do not have.
- Meeting length ceilings by tier
- 30 minutes on Free, 2 hours on Plus, and 5 hours on Pro and Team. This is a real constraint: a long workshop on the Plus tier will be cut off.
Notes, languages, and speakers
The broadest language coverage among the bot-free tools.- 99-plus languages
- Both transcripts and generated notes are available across more than 99 languages, which is the single strongest reason for a multilingual European team to choose jamie.
- Human-like structured summaries
- Notes are produced as a structured document rather than a bullet dump, with the emphasis placed on readability rather than exhaustive coverage.
- Speaker recognition
- Lines are attributed to named speakers rather than generic labels, on the tiers where the feature is unlocked.
- Speaker memory
- Recognised speakers carry forward across meetings, so a recurring client is identified by name in every future call rather than being re-labelled each time.
- Task detection
- Action items and commitments are extracted separately from the narrative notes, with detection quality improving on higher tiers.
- Full transcripts
- The verbatim transcript is retained alongside the notes, so you can check the exact wording of something the summary compressed.
Archive and retrieval
Unlimited storage on every tier, including free.- Ask jamie
- Conversational querying across your meeting history, available on all tiers. Ask what a client said about timelines and it answers from the archive rather than making you search.
- Unlimited storage on all plans
- Even the free tier gets unlimited storage. The free constraint is meeting count and duration, not how long your archive survives, which is a friendlier structure than history truncation.
- Searchable transcripts
- Keyword search across transcripts complements Ask jamie for the cases where you know the exact phrase you are hunting.
- Note editing and export
- Generated notes can be edited before they are pushed onward, so a client-facing recap is not sent raw from a model.
Integrations and developer surface
Tiered sharply, with the useful connectors reserved for Pro.- Notion, Google Docs, and OneNote
- Available on every tier including free, so notes land in your documentation stack without paying anything.
- Salesforce and HubSpot
- CRM routing is a Pro-tier feature at €39 a month. This is meeting context attachment rather than structured field updating.
- Asana
- Detected tasks can flow into Asana on Pro and above, closing the loop between what was agreed and what gets tracked.
- MCP for AI tools
- Pro exposes a Model Context Protocol endpoint so Claude, ChatGPT, and other assistants can read your meeting context directly instead of you pasting transcripts around.
- Centralized team billing
- The Team tier consolidates 2 to 10 seats onto one invoice with shared collaboration and permissions.
European compliance posture
The reason most jamie buyers choose jamie.- 100 percent EU hosting
- Storage and processing both stay within the EU, which is the specific claim that lets a German or French buyer sign off without a transfer impact assessment.
- ISO 27001 certified
- An internationally recognised information security certification, held rather than merely claimed as an aspiration.
- No model training on customer data
- jamie states plainly that customer data is never used for the training of models, which is the clearest formulation in this batch.
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- HTTPS forced, TLS 1.2 in transit, AES 256-bit at rest, documented rather than gestured at.
- SAML SSO and SCIM
- Reserved for the Enterprise tier at 10-plus users, alongside volume discounts and negotiated data processing agreements.
Use cases
4 documentedGerman professional services firm with strict data governance
The compliance function will not approve a US-hosted meeting tool, and the partners will not tolerate a recording bot appearing in front of clients.
jamie captures locally with nothing visible in the call, all data stays in EU infrastructure under ISO 27001, audio is deleted after transcription, and the DPA conversation is short because the transfer question never arises.
Multilingual European sales or partnerships team
Calls run in German, French, Spanish, Polish, and English in the same week, and existing tools produce competent English notes and mediocre everything else.
99-plus language coverage means each call is transcribed and summarized in its own language, and Pro pushes the resulting context into HubSpot so the account record is coherent regardless of which language the meeting happened in.
Consultant who runs a mix of client site visits and video calls
Half the important conversations happen in a room and half happen on Zoom, and browser-based tools cover only one of those.
Device-level capture handles both identically, speaker memory keeps recurring client contacts named correctly across months, and Ask jamie answers questions about what was agreed six visits ago.
Small EU team wanting shared meeting memory without a US vendor
Five people need a common archive of customer conversations, and procurement has ruled out anything processed outside the EU.
Team at €33 a seat gives unlimited meetings, 5-hour ceilings, centralized billing, and collaborative access, all within EU hosting, with the MCP endpoint letting the team query meeting context from their own AI tools.
Pricing
from €0 (Free), then €21 per month billed annually (Plus)Freemium subscription in euros, metered by meetings per month and by maximum meeting duration on individual tiers, with per-seat pricing on team plans.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 per month |
The 30-minute ceiling is the binding constraint; most real meetings run longer, so the free tier is a demo rather than a plan. |
| Plus | €21 per month, billed annually |
20 meetings a month is roughly five a week, which is a light schedule; heavy users skip straight to Pro. |

Billing notes
- All pricing is quoted in euros, which introduces currency exposure for US and UK buyers that the headline number does not show.
- Published prices are annual rates; monthly billing is available at a higher effective cost.
- The meter is meetings per month plus a hard cap on individual meeting length. The duration cap is the one people get caught by: a 90-minute workshop does not fit on Plus and a full-day session does not fit on any tier.
- Storage is unlimited on every tier including free, so downgrading does not truncate your archive; it only limits how many new meetings you can add.
- The jump from Plus at €21 to Pro at €39 is where meaningful integrations, MCP, and in-person capture live, so most serious buyers are looking at €39 rather than €21.
- Team at €33 a seat is cheaper than Pro at €39 for the same capability plus collaboration, which means a two-person team should buy Team rather than two Pro seats.
Value assessment: jamie is priced as a compliance product, and if you have the compliance requirement it is worth it. If you do not, it is hard to defend. Model 20 meetings a week: roughly 80 a month, which immediately eliminates Free and Plus and puts you on Pro at €39 a month, about €468 a year, or Team at €33 a seat. Granola Business gives an equivalent user unlimited notes, unlimited history, CRM connectors, API, and MCP for $14. Tactiq Team gives unlimited AI generation for $16.67. On raw capability per euro jamie is roughly two to three times the market. What the premium buys is complete EU hosting, ISO 27001, 99-plus languages, in-person capture, and a vendor that answers to European regulators. For a Berlin or Munich buyer with a data protection officer to satisfy, that is a rational purchase. For a US startup that has never been asked where its data lives, it is an expensive way to get notes.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Complete EU hosting for both storage and processing, which resolves the data transfer question that blocks most American tools in European procurement.
- ISO 27001 certification plus a clear, unambiguous statement that customer data is never used to train models.
- More than 99 languages for both transcripts and notes, the broadest coverage among the bot-free tools in this category.
- Device-level capture handles in-person and hybrid meetings as well as online calls, which browser-extension rivals cannot do at all.
- Speaker recognition with speaker memory that persists identities across meetings, rather than relabelling everyone in every call.
- Unlimited storage on every tier including free, so the archive is never the thing being rationed.
- MCP access on Pro means meeting context is readable by Claude and other assistants without manual export.
Limitations
- Expensive: Pro at €39 a month is roughly triple Granola Business for a comparable individual, and the euro pricing adds currency risk for non-eurozone buyers.
- Hard meeting-duration caps at 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 5 hours by tier, which is an unusual constraint and a genuine problem for workshops and all-day sessions.
- The cheap tiers are not viable plans: 10 meetings at 30 minutes on Free and 20 meetings on Plus rule out anyone with a normal calendar.
- No audio or video retention means no playback for coaching, demo review, or checking how something was said.
- No sales coaching, scoring, or talk-time analytics; the CRM connectors attach context rather than updating structured fields.
- The company publishes very little about its founders, funding, or governance on its own site, which is an odd omission for a vendor selling on trust.
- SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise-only at 10-plus users, so a seven-person team with an SSO mandate has nowhere to go.
Head-to-head comparisons
6 alternativesjamie vs Superpowered
from $0 (Free), then $25 per month (Basic)Both refuse the bot and both delete the audio. Superpowered goes further and deletes the transcript after seven days, holds SOC 2 Type II, and costs $25, but is US-hosted, desktop-only, and has no cross-meeting chat yet. jamie keeps the archive with unlimited storage, hosts entirely in the EU under ISO 27001, covers 99-plus languages, and handles in-person meetings. Choose jamie for residency and language breadth; choose Superpowered if you want nothing to persist.
Full jamie vs Superpowered comparisonjamie vs Wudpecker
from $0 (Free), then $19 per month (Plus)The two European options, and they differ on almost everything except geography. Wudpecker sends a bot into the call, is Finnish, stores recordings on EU servers, covers 35 to 39 languages, and starts at $19 a month with a per-meeting meter. jamie uses no bot, deletes audio, covers 99-plus languages, and costs €21 to €39. If the bot is acceptable and you want the recording, Wudpecker is cheaper; if the bot is the objection, jamie is the EU answer.
Full jamie vs Wudpecker comparisonjamie vs Fellow
from $0 (Free), then $7 per user per month billed annually (Team)Fellow offers both bot and botless capture, agendas and one-on-one workflow, 90-plus languages, zero-day retention options, and a compliance stack built for SEC and FINRA-regulated finance, from $7 a seat annually. jamie is simpler, EU-hosted, and covers more languages, but has no agenda layer and costs far more per user. Take Fellow if meeting workflow and North American regulatory posture matter; take jamie if EU residency is the requirement.
Full jamie vs Fellow comparisonjamie vs Voicenotes
from $0 (Basic), then $9 per user per month (Pro)Voicenotes is dramatically cheaper at $9 a seat, covers 60-plus languages, runs on more platforms including mobile and watches, and holds SOC 2 Type II. jamie is EU-hosted with ISO 27001, covers 99-plus languages, and is a more focused meeting product rather than a voice-capture app that also does meetings. If price and platform breadth lead, Voicenotes; if European compliance leads, jamie.
Full jamie vs Voicenotes comparisonjamie vs Granola
from $0 (Basic), then $14 per user per month (Business)Granola is the better-designed product and less than half the price at $14, merging your own typed fragments with the transcript and shipping API and MCP access on the same tier. But it hosts notes in a US AWS VPC with no regional option, which is the single question that disqualifies it for many European buyers. That is the whole comparison: Granola wins on product and price, jamie wins on where the data lives.
Full jamie vs Granola comparisonjamie vs Circleback
from $20.83 per user per month (Individual, billed annually)Circleback is the closest competitor on philosophy: bot-optional, note-quality focused, 100-plus languages, and a deep automation layer with API, webhooks, and MCP at roughly $21 to $25 a seat. jamie counters with EU hosting, ISO 27001, in-person capture, and unlimited storage on free. If automation depth is the priority, Circleback; if European data governance is, jamie.
Full jamie vs Circleback comparisonImplementation & onboarding
- Setup time
- Around ten minutes. Install jamie, connect a calendar, grant microphone and system audio permission, and the next meeting is captured. There is no bot to whitelist and no meeting-platform admin approval to obtain.
- Learning curve
- Low. The two things worth configuring early are speaker identities, so speaker memory starts building correctly, and the note language, since jamie will happily produce notes in a different language from the one the meeting was held in.
- Onboarding
- Self-serve through the Team tier at up to 10 users. Enterprise at 10-plus users involves a quoted contract, SAML and SCIM setup, and a negotiated data processing agreement.
- Migration notes
- No bulk importer for another vendor's archive, so historical meetings stay behind. Because audio is deleted after transcription, only text moves in either direction. Unlimited storage on every tier means jamie never forces an archive cull, and notes are editable and exportable to Notion, Google Docs, or OneNote, which makes an eventual exit manageable if unglamorous.
Platform, API & security
- Platforms
- Desktop applicationAny online meeting platform via device audioIn-person and hybrid meetingsMCP endpoint on Pro and above
- API
- MCP access for AI tools is included from the Pro tier, letting Claude, ChatGPT, and similar assistants read meeting context directly. A broadly documented public REST API is not the headline integration path.
- Compliance
- ISO 27001 certifiedGDPR compliant with EU processingData processing agreements available on Enterprise
- Data residency
- 100 percent EU hosting for both storage and processing, which is the product's central compliance claim.
- SSO
- SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning on the Enterprise tier at 10-plus users only.
- Security notes
- HTTPS is forced, TLS 1.2 protects data in transit, and AES 256-bit encryption protects data at rest. Audio is deleted once transcription completes, so only transcripts and notes persist. jamie states that customer data is never used for the training of models. Unlimited storage applies on every tier, so retention is user-controlled rather than plan-limited.

Frequently asked questions
10 questionsWhat is jamie?
jamie is a bot-free AI meeting assistant built in Berlin. It captures audio locally on your device for online, hybrid, and in-person meetings, deletes that audio once transcription is finished, and produces structured notes and full transcripts in more than 99 languages. Everything is hosted and processed within the EU.
How much does jamie cost?
Free covers 10 meetings a month with a 30-minute cap each. Plus is €21 a month for 20 meetings with a 2-hour cap. Pro is €39 a month for unlimited meetings with a 5-hour cap, plus Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana, MCP, and in-person support. Team is €33 per seat for 2 to 10 users. Enterprise is quoted and adds SAML SSO and SCIM. All prices are annual rates in euros.
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. jamie captures the audio on your own device, so nothing appears in the participant list, nothing announces itself to your client, and a host who blocks external meeting bots cannot block jamie. The tradeoff is the usual one: you have to be present on a device running jamie, so you cannot send it to a meeting you are skipping.
Where is my data stored?
Entirely within the EU, for both storage and processing. This is jamie's central claim and the main reason European buyers choose it over better-funded American competitors like Granola or Fathom, which host in US infrastructure with no regional option. jamie also holds ISO 27001 certification.
Does jamie keep the audio or video?
No. Audio is deleted once transcription completes, and no video is captured at any point. What persists is the transcript and the generated notes. That is good for your privacy posture and bad if you wanted to replay a demo, check tone, or clip a moment for coaching, none of which jamie can do.
What does jamie cost for someone in 20 meetings a week?
About 80 meetings a month, which rules out Free at 10 and Plus at 20 immediately. That person needs Pro at €39 a month, roughly €468 a year, or Team at €33 a seat if buying for two or more people. Note the duration ceiling too: Pro caps individual meetings at 5 hours, so a full-day workshop still will not fit.
How good is jamie in languages other than English?
Language breadth is the strongest technical claim in the product: more than 99 languages for both transcripts and generated notes, which beats most of the bot-free field. jamie publishes no independent word error rate figures by language, so as with every vendor in this category you should run your own audio through it before committing a non-English team. But the breadth of coverage is genuine and unusual.
Does jamie train AI models on my meetings?
No. jamie states plainly that customer data is never used for the training of models. Combined with EU-only processing, ISO 27001, AES 256-bit encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, and deletion of audio after transcription, this is one of the more defensible privacy positions in the category.
How does jamie handle recording consent?
It does not handle consent for you, and because nothing joins the call there is no automatic disclosure to other participants. Under GDPR and in two-party consent jurisdictions, the obligation to tell people sits with you. jamie's architecture reduces the exposure, since no audio survives and no video is ever made, but a transcript is still a record of the conversation. Say at the start of the call that you are taking AI notes.
Can jamie update my CRM?
From the Pro tier it can route meeting context into Salesforce and HubSpot, and detected tasks into Asana. This is context attachment rather than structured field updating, and there is no call scoring, talk-time analysis, or playbook adherence tracking. A sales manager who needs rep-level analytics should pair jamie with a conversation intelligence tool rather than expecting it here.
Editorial verdict
jamie is what you buy when the answer to where does the data live has to be Europe. Complete EU hosting, ISO 27001, no model training on your conversations, audio deleted after transcription, and 99-plus languages add up to a product that clears European procurement in a way that most of this category cannot, and the bot-free local capture means it clears the client-relationship test too. The cost of that position is real: Pro at €39 a month is around triple Granola Business for a comparable individual, the meeting-duration caps are an odd and genuinely limiting constraint, and the cheap tiers are demonstrations rather than plans. If you have a data protection officer to satisfy or a genuinely multilingual European operation, jamie is the right choice and the premium is defensible. If you do not, you are paying two to three times the market rate for a compliance property nobody will ever ask you about.
