Meetings & note-taking

The meeting happens
on your terms.

"Fireflies.ai has joined the meeting." Everyone has lived that cringe: the client asking what that is, the conversation going stiff. Luge takes the other road — no covert capture. The meeting happens in Luge's own room, gets captured from your own device, or goes through a bot everyone can see — and kick out.

No covert capture: the meeting happens on your terms. Three paths — Luge's voice or video room, where the note taker is an invited participant with a visible banner that anyone can stop, and true per-speaker attribution; bot-less capture from your own device (Meet, Teams, Zoom, Webex, Jitsi); or a Teams bot that goes through the lobby and that everyone can see. At the end: an attributed transcript, a regenerable summary, action items, a personalized summary per person — plus an attached conversation, so you question the meeting instead of replaying the recording.

The three paths

Three capture paths. All in the open.

Whichever path you take, the rule is the same: nobody in the meeting is unaware it's being captured. And phone calls placed through Luge leave their capture too.

1 · The Luge room

The meeting happens right inside Luge: a voice or video room with mic, camera and screen sharing. The note taker is a participant you invite — visible banner, and anyone in the room can stop it.

The real win: the system listens to each person separately, rather than guessing who's talking. Per-speaker attribution is real — it's written down who said what, not estimated.

2 · From your device, no bot

The desktop app detects microphone use by meeting apps (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Jitsi) and captures locally, on your device — nothing joins the call. Built-in anti-feedback, automatic stop when the app releases the mic.

You can also import an audio file or record right in the browser. Windows: mic-only for now — WASAPI is on the way.

3 · The visible bot (Teams)

Meeting happening on the client's turf, on Teams? The bot is the opposite of a spy: it goes through the lobby, gets admitted or refused, and can be kicked out at any time.

Its whole life cycle is visible — every participant knows it's there, start to finish. And it doesn't just listen to the audio: it takes the meeting chat and emoji reactions into account too — a written objection or an agreeing « 👍 » ends up in the minutes.

After the capture

The meeting ends. The work is already moving.

Transcript and summary

Every capture yields a per-speaker attributed transcript, a summary — regenerable if you want another cut —, action items and your notes.

The attached conversation

Every capture comes with its own conversation. You ask the agent — "what did we decide on the budget?" — instead of replaying the recording.

The per-person summary

Everyone gets their view of the meeting — their action items, their decisions —, not just the team summary.

Delivery

The recap goes out to your destinations — with, if you want, an approval step before sending. Nothing leaves without your OK.

What the office keeps

Durable facts become team memories, action items become cards on the board.

A meeting, more than a capture

A capture is a recording. A meeting can aggregate several — plus the agenda and documents. The complete file of the meeting, not just its audio trail.

For the team

Set up the note taker once, for everyone.

The automatic note taker joins by your rules: a minimum number of participants before it shows up, exclusions by title pattern — 1:1s and personal meetings stay quiet — or by whole calendar.

And for your IT or compliance team: the transcription supervision board shows the status, engine, language and duration of every capture — at a glance, across the organization.

The full data file: privacy & security.

The honest part

  • Consent is your job. The rules for recording a conversation apply in your jurisdiction, whatever the tool. Tell the participants. In the Luge room, the visible banner and the stop button — available to anyone — help you do it properly.
  • In French, force Canary or Cohere. Local transcription (Parakeet) is solid in English, but it drifts toward English on low-signal French. For reliable French, pick Canary or Cohere in the settings.
  • Windows: mic-only for now. System-audio capture (WASAPI) is on the way. macOS and Linux do both.

And after the call?

The end of a capture can trigger a workflow: the follow-up leaves on its own — the recap delivered, the card created, the email drafted and held for your approval. That's where "colleague" earns its name: the meeting is a room in the office, not an orphan file.

The full office tour: the office. The exact mechanics, for the technical crowd: under the hood.
