AI meeting summaries for Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, and any browser-based meeting. No admin required. No bot. Just install and go.
How to install
Download
Download the .dmg file and open it.
Install
Drag CallScrib to your Applications folder. The agent lives in your menu bar.
Grant permissions
Allow Microphone and Automation access when prompted. This lets CallScrib capture audio and detect meetings.
Then just meet
Auto-detect
Join any meeting on any platform. CallScrib auto-detects when a meeting starts and begins capturing audio in the background.
Get your summary
When the meeting ends, get an AI summary with decisions, action items, and next steps — delivered to your dashboard and email.
Why CallScrib?
Works with any meeting platform
Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, and any browser-based meeting. One app covers them all.
No admin required
Download and install as an individual. No IT approval, no Graph API permissions, no tenant admin consent.
Auto-detects meetings
The agent runs in your menu bar and automatically detects when a meeting starts. No buttons to press.
Live preview during meetings
Local Whisper transcription gives you a real-time preview of what's being said, right on your screen.
Same AI-powered summaries
Same AI-powered summaries as the Cloud version. Decisions, action items, and next steps — structured and ready to share.
Private by design
Audio is processed locally during the meeting. Only the final audio is sent for accurate transcription. No audio stored after processing.

Privacy and data handling
- Audio is captured locally via system audio loopback
- Live preview uses on-device Whisper — nothing leaves your machine during the meeting
- At meeting end, audio is sent to Voxtral for accurate transcription with speaker labels
- Transcript sent to Mistral Small 4 for AI summarization (zero-retention API)
- No audio is stored after processing — only the text transcript and summary
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it record my microphone?
The Desktop Agent captures system audio (loopback) — it hears what your speakers or headphones play. It also uses your microphone to capture your own voice for speaker separation.
Does it work with any meeting platform?
Yes. Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, or any browser-based meeting. The agent detects meetings automatically by monitoring active browser tabs and running applications.
Do I need admin permissions to install?
No. The Desktop Agent runs as a regular application. No IT admin approval, no Microsoft 365 permissions, and no tenant admin consent needed.
Can I use this alongside the Cloud version?
Yes. They are independent and complementary. Use Cloud for automatic Teams coverage with summaries posted to chat, and the Desktop Agent for meetings on other platforms.
Is my audio stored after processing?
No. Audio is processed and discarded. Only the text transcript and AI summary are stored in your CallScrib account.
