Private AI Note Taker: Basil

Acerca de esta app

Basil is a private AI note taker designed for meeting capture, transcription, and summarization entirely on the user’s device. Developed by TONSOR LLC, it utilizes the Apple Neural Engine for transcription and Apple Intelligence for local summary generation, ensuring no audio or data is uploaded to external servers. The app supports recording in-person meetings via microphone, capturing computer audio from platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Meet without joining as a bot, and importing existing audio or video files. Key features include live transcripts with speaker identification, post-session refined accuracy, and the generation of summaries, action items, decisions, and follow-ups. It supports over 60 languages and offers full-text search across recorded content. A specialized “Basil for Law” edition provides legal professionals with privilege attestation, consent logs, matter-based organization, and confidential labeling. The universal app syncs libraries via the user’s personal iCloud account and allows exports to Apple Notes, Calendar, Reminders, and Files. Subscription tiers include Basil Pro for unlimited recording and Basil for Law for legal-specific tools.
