AI meeting notes your agent can actually use
Most AI meeting-notes tools trap the transcript in their own app. Syncore Notes records your meetings on-device — no bot joins the call — and exposes the transcript to your AI agent over MCP, so Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT can read it back, summarize it, pull action items, and draft the follow-up. It's local-first, cross-platform, and free to start.
What makes Syncore Notes different
No bot joins your call
Syncore records your computer's system audio + mic through a local daemon. Nothing shows up as a participant, and you don't depend on a cloud bot getting into the meeting.
Your agent reads it back
Because it's MCP-native, Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT can call the transcript directly — summarize it, pull action items with owners, draft the follow-up email, translate it, or recall what was said in a past meeting.
Local-first & private
Recordings, transcripts and the Markdown wiki live on your machine at 127.0.0.1. No training on your data by default — privacy isn't a paid add-on.
Cross-platform
macOS, Windows and Linux (CLI/daemon), with a native macOS desktop app — not mac-only.
Meetings + memory + search
Every meeting feeds Syncore Wiki (a searchable, agent-maintained knowledge base), so notes compound across sessions instead of sitting in a silo.
Free to start
3 Syncore Notes meeting hours/mo and unlimited wiki on the free tier, with no API keys to begin.

FAQ
- What are AI meeting notes?
- AI meeting notes are summaries, action items and decisions automatically generated from a meeting's audio. A tool transcribes the conversation (usually with speaker labels) and an AI model turns the transcript into a structured recap. Syncore does this agent-natively: it records locally, transcribes with Deepgram, and your own AI agent reads the transcript back to write the notes.
- What's the best AI meeting notes tool that works with Claude or ChatGPT?
- Syncore is built for exactly this. Because it's an MCP server, the recording, transcript and past-meeting search are exposed as tools any MCP agent can call — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Zed, or ChatGPT. The notes aren't trapped in a separate app; your agent reads them back and acts on them.
- Do AI meeting notes require a bot to join the call?
- Not with Syncore. It records your computer's system audio and mic through a local daemon — no bot shows up as a participant. Bot-based tools (Otter, Fireflies) auto-join your Zoom/Meet/Teams calls from the cloud, which is convenient cross-device but more intrusive and less private.
- Are AI meeting notes private?
- With Syncore they're local-first: the daemon runs at 127.0.0.1, recordings and transcripts stay on your machine, the wiki is plain Markdown (Obsidian-compatible), and there's no training on your data by default — no privacy paywall.
- Is there a free AI meeting notes tool?
- Yes — Syncore's free tier includes 3 Syncore Notes meeting hours per month plus unlimited wiki, with no API keys required to start. Several competitors also have free tiers (Fathom is notably generous); see the comparisons below.
