Amie vs Shadow

Amie is a meeting note taker, calendar, and task app for people who spend their days in calls. It captures audio from your device without sending a bot into Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, then turns conversations into summaries, transcripts, and action items you can use immediately.

The pieces are wired together rather than bolted on. Private notes you write before or during a call shape the summary. Action items can land in your todo lists, get scheduled automatically, or export to HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Linear, and Pipedrive with a click. The built-in chat has context from your meetings, calendar, and email, so you can draft follow-ups, create tickets, or ask what someone said in last week's demo.

Sales teams, founders, and customer-facing roles are the core audience. The app runs on macOS, Windows, and iOS, syncs Google and Apple calendars, and transcribes in 17 languages with speaker labeling.

Shadow is a macOS app that captures what you say, hear, and see on your screen, then runs custom Skills to turn that context into meeting notes, emails, code, or other outputs. It works in the background during calls and on a keyboard shortcut anywhere else, so you stay focused on the conversation instead of juggling notes and follow-ups.

Unlike bot-based meeting recorders, Shadow never joins your call. It detects meetings automatically, transcribes locally on your Mac, labels speakers in real time, and captures meeting screenshots on its own. When a call ends, you pick a Meeting Skill or write your own prompt to generate notes, BANT breakdowns, action items, or follow-up emails.

Outside meetings, Action Skills let you press a shortcut on any screen. Shadow listens to your voice, reads selected text, and screenshots the active window to run prompts that paste results into your app or show them where you are working. Teams at companies like Vercel, Rippling, and Intercom already use it for faster meeting follow-through and hands-free writing.
