Current: 
Vexa is an API for real-time meeting transcription using meeting bots and direct streaming from web/mobile apps. It extracts knowledge from various platforms including:
- Google Meet
- Zoom (coming soon)
- Microsoft Teams (coming soon)
It serves as an privacy-first, open source alternative to recall.ai.
It focuses on doing one job well: clean, private, real-time transcription under your control so you can safely build on top.
Build powerful meeting assistants (like Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Fathom) for your startup, internal use, or custom integrations.
The Vexa API provides powerful abstractions and a clear separation of concerns, enabling you to build sophisticated applications on top with a safe and enjoyable coding experience.
For instance, the Vexa Example Client (see Projects Built with Vexa) was built in just 3 hours of live coding with Cursor, showcasing the rapid development possible with Vexa.
Furthermore, with our n8n integration (see Projects Built with Vexa for examples), you can create incredibly complex workflows with no code, leveraging real-time transcription from Google Meet (with support for other platforms coming soon).
