Record any meeting free, with no time limit. MeetCap transcribes on your computer, explains new terms as they come up during the meeting, and has the minutes ready when it ends. Your AI agent can run it, query past meetings as context, and it works both way too. MeetCap can drive your local harness to write context-aware minutes.

Could you build this?
Partial Local transcription with open models and LLM-based term explanations are buildable, but capturing system audio reliably across platforms and running real-time transcription well is hard.
What it would actually take: Use an open-source ASR model such as Whisper or faster-whisper running locally, with an LLM for live term definitions and summary generation. Capturing system and meeting audio needs platform-specific work: ScreenCaptureKit or loopback drivers on macOS, WASAPI loopback on Windows. The hard parts are cross-platform audio capture and tuning local inference speed and accuracy, which requires audio and ML engineering experience.
