A Chrome extension that transcribes calls and drafts follow-ups

What it does

Amurex is a Chrome extension that sits in on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls to produce real-time transcripts, meeting summaries, and action items. It also surfaces suggestions mid-call and can draft follow-up emails once the meeting ends. A “late join recap” feature promises to catch you up if you arrive after the opening monologue.

The interesting bit

The project is AGPL-3.0 licensed and pitches itself as a privacy-minded alternative to closed-source meeting tools. The catch is that this repository is only the browser extension; running the latest version yourself requires separate backend and web services from companion repositories, and the README concedes the Chrome Web Store release may trail behind.

Key highlights

• Real-time transcription and in-meeting suggestions for Google Meet and MS Teams
• Automatic summaries, action items, and one-click follow-up emails
• Late-join recap to summarize missed discussion
• Analytics can be disabled when self-hosting
• Fully open-source under AGPL-3.0

Caveats

• The Chrome Web Store build may be older than the repo; the README steers users toward self-hosting for the latest version
• Only Google Meet and MS Teams are supported, with other platforms listed as “coming soon”
• Self-hosting requires coordinating this extension with separate backend and web repositories

Verdict

A solid option for developers who want a self-hostable, open-source meeting assistant and don’t mind a multi-repo setup. If you need broad platform support or a single-click install that stays current, look elsewhere for now.
