How to choose
Prioritize local or on-device agents like Humla, Oats, and MinuteFile when data privacy is non-negotiable. Check Mac-only constraints versus cross-platform needs and whether you require live transcription or post-meeting processing. Watch for agents that force cloud uploads or lack speaker identification, which breaks multi-person meetings. Test integration with your existing tools and confirm pricing scales with meeting volume rather than per-user seats.
