Mumble AI is a voice-first Mac application that captures meeting notes, voice memos, and dictation 5× faster than typing, with both on-device local mode and cloud AI processing.
What is Mumble AI?
Mumble AI takes spoken audio (from meetings, free-form voice notes, or any text field) as input and outputs structured meeting summaries with speaker labels, auto-organized Smart Notes, and formatted text in emails, Slack, or Notion. It runs exclusively on macOS 14+ with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and is currently in open beta. The product is built by Mumble (no parent company named on the page).
Key Features
- No bot joins your call — Records directly from your Mac’s system audio and microphone; no extra participant appears in Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Slack.
- Live transcript with speaker labels — Displays who said what in real time during the meeting; labels are organized per speaker.
- Instant AI summaries — Delivers a structured summary (overview, key decisions, action items) the moment a meeting ends; templates (Bullet Points, Interview Notes, Project Kick Off) are customizable.
- System-wide dictation — Works in any text field; press
← for clean text, ↑ for bullet points, ↓ for a custom action (e.g., emoji insertion).
- Voice Skills — Triggered by voice commands to schedule a meeting on Google Calendar, run competitor research, generate social media content, or block focus time.
- Local mode — 100% on-device recording, transcription, and summary; no internet required, audio never leaves the Mac.
- Cloud mode — Uses the latest AI models for transcription in 40+ languages and advanced summaries; speaker labels and templates included.
- Auto-detects meetings — Connects to Google Calendar and watches for meeting apps to start recording automatically.
Who is it for?
- Product managers and operations leads who attend 6–8 meetings daily and need structured summaries with action items without taking notes by hand.
- Legal counsel who require sensitive client calls to be processed entirely on-device with no cloud transmission.
- Sales directors and marketers who dictate emails and messages 5× faster using system‑wide dictation with formatting shortcuts.
- Content strategists who voice‑dump ideas after calls and want them auto‑organized into Smart Notes with follow‑up drafts.
What can you do with Mumble AI?
- Capture meeting notes without a bot: Record any meeting (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack) from your Mac’s audio, get a live transcript with speaker labels, and receive a clean structured summary with decisions and next steps when the meeting ends.
- Dictate anywhere with formatting: Press a global shortcut in any text field (email, Slack, Notion, browser), speak naturally, and use arrow keys to format output as clean text, bullet points, or custom actions.
- Organize voice memos automatically: Speak a free‑form voice note; Mumble rewrites it into bullet points and auto‑tags it into a Smart Note that collects all related ideas (e.g., “Christmas Campaign Ideas”).
- Trigger actions with your voice: Say “Schedule lunch with Alex tomorrow at 12” or “Run a competitor analysis” — the app executes the task (calendar event, research) and returns a finished result.
How does it work?
- Press your keyboard shortcut anywhere on your Mac. Mumble opens instantly and listens.
- Speak naturally — it understands context, cleans up filler words, extracts action items, and formats output.
- Review the clean result (note, summary, formatted text) and close. Everything is saved and organized for later access.
Pricing
During the open beta, Mumble is completely free with no limits. After beta, local mode remains free forever. Cloud mode will include a free tier and paid plans for advanced features and heavier usage (no dollar amounts stated). No credit card required to start.
