Zoom Alternative Without Third-Party Notetaker Bots

MO
The MeetOye Team
PRODUCT

MeetOye is a Zoom alternative for teams that want AI meeting notes without adding a third-party notetaker bot. On Zoom, getting automatic meeting notes typically means adding Otter, Fireflies, Grain, or another service as a participant — a separate account that joins every meeting, records the audio, and sends data to a third-party server. MeetOye eliminates this entirely: Oya is built into the meeting platform itself.

Is MeetOye better than Zoom for AI notes without bots?

Yes. MeetOye's Oya AI is part of the meeting infrastructure — not a bot that joins as a participant. Transcription, recap, and action items are generated by the platform itself, not by a third-party service with separate data processing terms.

Why teams switch from Zoom + notetaker bot to MeetOye

  • No bot joining as a participant — Oya is part of the platform
  • No third-party data processing agreement required for meeting transcripts
  • AI recap and action items included in MeetOye's standard plan
  • Ask Oya to query any past meeting without a separate app
  • Simpler security posture — one platform, not two data processors

What are the security advantages of MeetOye over Zoom + bot?

When you use a notetaker bot with Zoom, your meeting transcript data goes to two services: Zoom's infrastructure and the bot service's infrastructure. MeetOye keeps transcription in-platform — one data processor, one privacy policy, one security assessment for your IT team.

Introducing Oya — the AI that sits in every MeetOye call

Every MeetOye meeting ships with Oya, a built-in assistant that listens, transcribes, translates and emails a recap. No bots to invite, no plugins to install.

Live translation, explained — everyone speaks their own language

A participant speaks Urdu, another reads English, a third reads Arabic — all in the same call, in near real time. Here is how MeetOye makes that feel effortless.
