Overtalk is MIT-licensed open source: record, transcribe and write notes on your computer, play the source of every note, keep projects, get a brief before each meeting, and let it file meetings for you. There is no paid edition. The one paid option is a subscription for private AI summaries, because each summary runs on Privatemode's servers; it is planned at €10 a month or €96 a year and is not on sale yet.

[How summaries work](https://overtalk.io/pricing.html#summaries)

## Projects, filing and briefs

For people who run the same work across many meetings: client engagements, releases, hiring loops. Its centre is the brief: walk into every meeting knowing what was decided, what is still open and who is coming.

- **Briefs before meetings**, about an hour ahead: what was decided and what is still open, open actions, who is coming, project context and the status of tickets from earlier meetings, each linked to its source. A reminder arrives before the meeting, and the agenda is copied into your own notes when you start recording. Briefs and reminders need Overtalk running.

- **Automatic filing**: calendar meetings are filed in their project before they start, from the recurring series, invitees, their organisation, title phrases and the calendar account. A call with no invite is filed from its transcript when it ends, before notes are written. Each choice shows its reason, a close call becomes a suggestion, and your own choice always wins.

- **Projects** keep every meeting together, and you can ask a question across all of them, with a source for each answer.

- **Remembered voices**: with the person's consent, confirm a name once and Overtalk suggests it in the project's next meeting. Voice profiles stay on your computer.

- **Team handoffs** draft follow-ups for Linear, Jira, Confluence and Google Docs, sent only after you check the destination.

All of it is processed on your computer and is part of the open-source code.

## Private AI summaries, optional

A subscription for 200+ hours of meeting summaries each month with advanced private AI models, for longer or more complex meetings. They are opt-in: you turn them on in Settings, and local processing stays available and never uses them. Planned at €10 a month or €96 a year; not on sale yet.

- **End to end:** Overtalk runs Privatemode's own proxy on your computer. It verifies Privatemode's servers and encrypts each summary for them with a key issued for your subscription. Overtalk issues the key and never receives the text. [The planned data flow](https://overtalk.io/privacy.html#hosted)

- **Transcription stays local:** the hours are summaries of transcripts made on your computer.

- **Monthly:** the allowance renews each month; unused hours do not roll over. There are no automatic top-ups.

- **A full refund** if private summaries aren't right for you: ask within 30 days of paying.

- **Without a subscription,** your own Privatemode account works for summaries too.

## For teams

Every person uses the same free app; meetings stay on each person's computer. What a team can buy is the paperwork and help around it, quoted for the team that asks:

- **A data processing agreement** covering the one part that involves a service, the private AI summaries, which Privatemode processes as a sub-processor.

- **Invoices** for the summaries subscriptions, instead of card checkout.

- **Support and deployment help**: packaged installs, policy settings and a contact who answers.
