Not to type.

    • Runs in the background

The short version

Why lawyers drop the bot.
What stays your call.

Why they pull the bot out

  • A notetaker bot is a third party in the room. ABA Journal
  • The bar now asks where recordings live and who can use them. NYC Bar 2025-6
  • Courts are testing privilege when AI tools keep what you share. Heppner, S.D.N.Y.

Still your call

  • Get consent. Some states require everyone's. State laws
  • What you keep can be requested in discovery. Retention risk
  • Saved voices may need consent, as in Illinois. Biometric privacy
  • Check the lines you rely on. Summaries are drafts.

Use it on your next call.
Or bring it to your firm.

Questions.

Does anything reach Meetly or another vendor?

Not in Private mode. Recording, transcripts, speaker names and summaries stay on your Mac. Only model downloads and app updates use the internet.

Does that make it privileged?

It removes the vendor from the conversation. Privilege still depends on the conversation and how you use the record. Not legal advice.

Which calls can it record?

Any call app on your Mac (Zoom, Teams, Meet, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Webex) and the room. iPhone records the room; iOS doesn't allow recording phone calls.

What does it cost?

Included with Meetly Pro. Free for 30 days on your Mac. For firms, talk to us.

  • Draft time entries from a call
  • Your clients' names and terms, known from day one
  • Word export for the file
  • Retention rules your firm sets
