Does Jarvis Record or Transcribe My Meetings?

No. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) does not record audio or join your meetings as a transcription bot. It's a screen-aware desktop assistant for macOS, Windows, and Linux that reads what's on your screen — live captions, shared slides, the doc you're discussing, or the chat panel — when you ask it to. Press Cmd+/ (Ctrl+/ on Windows) and it captures notes from visible context, routing to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. This is a deliberate design difference from tools like Otter, Fireflies, or Granola that record and transcribe the call. With Jarvis there's no bot in the attendee list and no audio capture, which matters for client and regulated meetings. It's GDPR-aligned, encrypts OAuth tokens with AES-256-GCM, never trains on your data, and costs $16/month when you need more than the free 40 requests/week.

Jarvis takes meeting notes from your screen, not your microphone. If your video app shows live captions, it can read them; it can also read shared slides, an open Google Doc, the meeting chat, or notes you type. You trigger capture with Cmd+/ and it writes structured notes. Nothing is recorded as audio or stored as a transcript file. This makes Jarvis useful even when you're a quiet participant — it follows the on-screen conversation rather than needing everyone's voices.

Recording-based tools must join the call, appear in the participant list, and often require consent from everyone present. For sensitive client calls, legal discussions, or internal meetings, that bot can be a non-starter. Jarvis sidesteps the issue entirely: because it only reads what's already on your screen, there's no new recording to disclose and no third-party bot capturing the room. If you specifically need a verbatim transcript, a dedicated tool like Fireflies is the right pick — Jarvis is for context-aware notes, drafting, and action items, not court-grade transcription.
