Show HN: Amurex – A cursor like copilot for meetings but also open source

[arsenkk]

tldr:

I built Amurex, an open source Chrome extension for meeting transcription, real-time suggestions, and automated follow-ups.

I’ve tried every transcription and meeting tool out there, and none of them worked the way I needed. So, I built Amurex:

- No clunky bots joining or announcing themselves.

- Accurate, clean transcripts delivered right after the meeting.

- Auto-generated follow-ups that I can edit and send in seconds.

But most importantly, it is the only meeting copilot that does:

- Real-time suggestions during meetings to help me stay focused (or at least less miserable).

It’s also fully open source because I believe good tools shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay engaged in meetings or needed quick, reliable transcripts and follow-ups. I’d love to hear what the community thinks!

Why did you go with... A Chrome-extension-first strategy?

And what does this actually use underneath to convert the raw audio into text?

https://github.com/thepersonalaicompany/amurex/blob/main/ser... - I get it, it's on github, but the storage doesn't make it open source on its own, unfortunately.

[arsenkk]

It is. You can use your storage or fork and alter it if you don't like the default.

How does the Late Join Recap feature work? The gif shows a google meet window, but in my experience of joining late, none of the previous audio or chat messages are available (at least in the UI, I never checked the API https://developers.google.com/meet/api/guides/artifacts but I doubt a random participant would have access to it).

[arsenkk]

You need someone else in your meeting to be using Amurex, since the transcription for someone else is already happening, we reuse that to give you the recap.

Thanks for pointing it out! Fixing it

[arsenkk]

upd: just fixed that

[donclark]

I'm a noob. Is it possible to run this outside of a browser, like an exe or?

[arsenkk]

Not yet. For now it's a browser extension for chromium browsers

[ramon156]

How does this compare to fireflies.ai?

[arsenkk]

Amurex is just objectively better ;)

Don't understand the HN half-open source hate. It wasn't very long ago everyone here was wringing their hands when an MIT open source company had their everything ripped and renamed.

Sure there was controversy there enough to stop the project there, but where you license with MIT you open yourself up to grift on the margins.

[arsenkk]

I agree. People want to act like purists and want everything under MIT. However we know a lot of free riders exist and MIT won't be sustainable.

[jackxnight]

It uses AGPL. I wouldn't call it "open source"

[freeone3000]

It’s incredibly open! You can examine it, modify it, and even publish your modifications under the same license! You just can’t steal it and sell it as your own.

[arsenkk]

The OSI committee wouldn't agree with you. But to each their own I suppose

[sansyrox]

I never understand the hate against AGPL tbh
