Our Verdict
A privacy-minded, bot-free notetaker with genuine EU data residency and clean compliance credentials, held back by an entirely post-meeting design with no live transcription and no Android app.
Jamie is a bot-free AI notetaker built for teams that want their meeting data to stay in the EU. It comes from a small, bootstrapped company in Berlin, founded in 2022 and run by around 22 people, and the whole product is shaped by a European, privacy-first worldview. Jamie captures audio directly from your device, so nothing joins your call as a bot and no one in the room gets a “recording” notification. The rest happens in its own EU cloud.
That last part matters, and it is easy to get wrong. The audio capture is on-device, but transcription and AI summarization run on Jamie’s servers in Germany. So this is not a fully on-device tool. It is a cloud tool with a strong residency story, which is why we treat it as cloud and rate its offline capability at the floor. If you were hoping for something that works on a plane or inside a secure facility with no connection, Jamie is not that.
The other thing to know up front is timing. Jamie does everything after the meeting ends. There is no live transcription and no in-meeting help of any kind. You stop the recording, wait a minute or a few, and your notes appear. For a lot of buyers that is completely fine. For anyone who wants to be coached while they are still in the conversation, it is a hard limit.
Key Features
Jamie’s core output is a structured set of notes: a summary, action items with assignees and checkboxes, decisions, and topic categorization. These land roughly one to five minutes after you stop recording, not during the call. The notes are clean and well organized, and the action-item handling with assignees is more thought-through than the loose bullet lists some competitors hand you.
On top of the notes sit two query tools. “Ask Jamie” is a chat that works across your meetings, so you can ask what was decided last week or pull a thread across several calls. There is also an Executive Assistant sidebar you open with a hotkey (Cmd or Ctrl + J). Both of these operate on meetings that have already been processed. Neither one listens to live audio. Transcription and summaries cover a wide range of languages, with 99 to 100-plus supported, which makes Jamie a real option for multilingual teams.
Pricing
Jamie prices in euros and bills annually. There is a genuine free tier at €0 that gives you 10 meetings a month with a 30-minute cap per meeting, which is enough to actually evaluate the tool rather than a teaser. Plus is €21 per month for 20 meetings with a 2-hour cap. Pro is €39 per month for unlimited meetings with a 3-hour cap, and it adds the CRM integrations. Team runs €33 per seat per month for two or more seats, and Enterprise is custom for 10-plus seats.
A couple of honest notes on value. The per-meeting and per-minute caps on the lower tiers mean heavier users get pushed toward Pro fairly quickly. And US buyers should know Jamie does not publish USD pricing, so what you pay will move with the exchange rate. The free tier is a real plus; the laddered caps are the catch.
Privacy & Security
This is Jamie’s strongest area, and it earns the rating honestly. Jamie processes and stores customer meeting data in the EU and states that data does not leave the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK; its data-processing terms do allow limited subprocessor exceptions under standard safeguards. The company is ISO 27001 certified through an independent audit and is both GDPR- and DORA-compliant, which matters for regulated European finance buyers. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 in transit.
Two commitments stand out. Meeting audio is permanently deleted after transcription, and retention beyond that is user-configurable. And there is an explicit no-training stance: your data is never used to train Jamie’s models or any provider’s models. The Enterprise tier adds DPAs, SAML SSO, EU data-residency guarantees, and admin controls. One clarification, because it gets assumed: Jamie does not publicly list SOC 2, and it does not claim HIPAA. If your procurement checklist requires either of those, confirm directly before you commit.
Best For
Jamie is a good fit for European teams that care most about where their data lives. If GDPR and EU residency drive your buying decision, and you want bot-free capture without the disclosure awkwardness of a bot in the room, Jamie is built for exactly that. Regulated firms that need DORA and ISO 27001 will find a tool that speaks their language. Multilingual teams benefit from the wide language coverage.
Who should look elsewhere? Anyone who needs help during the meeting, because Jamie only works after the fact. Android users, since there is no Android app. Teams that need a tool to keep working offline. And buyers whose compliance process specifically demands SOC 2 or HIPAA, neither of which Jamie lists.
How Jamie Compares to Hedy
Jamie and Hedy start from the same good instinct. Both are bot-free, capturing audio without dropping a bot into your call, and both commit to never training on your data. On consent and that no-training stance, they genuinely tie. Jamie’s distinct strength is data residency. Everything stays in the EU, in German data centers, with ISO 27001 and DORA behind it, and for a GDPR-first European buyer that is a clean, specific reason to choose it.
The durable gaps fall in two places. First, architecture. Jamie sends your audio to its EU cloud for transcription and summarization, so it depends on a connection and does not work offline, and it does not list SOC 2 or HIPAA. Hedy runs transcription, summaries, and analysis on-device, which means it keeps working with no internet, the audio never leaves your machine, and it carries SOC 2 and HIPAA with BAAs plus a choice of EU or US data residency. Second, timing. Jamie is purely post-meeting; your notes show up one to five minutes after you stop recording, and “Ask Jamie” only works on calls that are already processed. Hedy coaches you live, while the conversation is still happening. So the choice is fairly clean. Jamie is the better pick when EU data residency is the deciding factor and post-meeting notes are all you need. Hedy fits better when on-device privacy, offline reliability, and live in-meeting coaching are the priorities.
