Hi everyone, I’m William, the founder of Notely. The idea behind Notely grew from seeing how important privacy is in certain working environments. I’ve spent the last 20 years working in defence and similar environments. Important decisions were being made in meetings, but notes were often incomplete and context got lost. As AI tools became more prevalent, their value was obvious but in many cases they simply weren’t an option because of security or compliance requirements. Notely is my attempt to solve that problem without asking teams to compromise on privacy. It gives you AI transcription and clear summaries, but your data isn’t processed by third party AI providers or used to train external models. You can run it locally, in the cloud on dedicated infrastructure, or fully self-hosted, depending on what your organisation needs. This launch is an open beta, and I’m here to learn as much as possible. If you work in a privacy-sensitive or regulated environment, I’d especially love to hear how you currently handle meeting notes, what’s frustrating, and what you’d want to see improved. Thanks for checking it out, happy to answer any questions and really appreciate the feedback. William
