Yogurt takes AI meeting notes without joining your call as a bot. It records Zoom, Google Meet and Teams in the background, shows a live transcript, and writes a summary with next steps when the call ends. Ask questions across all your meetings, a folder or one call, even mid-meeting. Replay the full audio, share notes with Claude or ChatGPT via MCP, and recordings stop when the call does. Free, open source, no account. Everything stays on your computer. Works on Mac/Windows/Linux.

Could you build this?
Partial Summaries, transcripts, and Q&A over meetings are vibe-codeable using existing models. Capturing system audio from Zoom, Meet, and Teams in the background without a bot, across Windows and macOS, is a hard platform-level piece.
What it would actually take: Use a desktop app (Electron, Tauri, or native) that captures system audio via WASAPI loopback on Windows and ScreenCaptureKit or CoreAudio taps on macOS. Run transcription with Whisper or a cloud API, then summarize and index with an LLM and local embeddings. The hard parts are reliable per-OS audio capture, speaker separation, and privacy-safe local processing, which need experienced native audio and platform engineers.
