Jamie is a serious privacy-first, bot-free notetaker built in Germany, with genuine EU data residency and clean compliance credentials. It competes for exactly the buyer Raven does: someone who cares where their meetings go. The difference is the kind of privacy. Jamie asks you to trust a closed product that uploads audio to its EU cloud; Raven is open source and keeps everything on your machine - privacy you can audit, not just be promised - and it also helps you live during the call.

At a glance

​
Price

Jamie’s free tier is a real evaluation tier - 10 meetings/month, 30-minute cap - with paid plans (in EUR) at Plus €25/mo (20 meetings, 2-hr cap), Pro €47/mo (unlimited, 3-hr cap, integrations), and Team €39/user/mo. Raven is free and open source; you pay your own AI/transcription usage (a few dollars a month), with no meeting cap and no seat fee.

​
Two kinds of privacy

Both are bot-free, which already beats the cloud-bot notetakers on privacy. The distinction:
  • Jamie: audio is captured on your device, then uploaded to Jamie’s EU infrastructure for transcription/summaries (and deleted after). Strong, compliance-grade - but it’s a closed system you have to trust, and your content does leave your machine.
  • Raven: transcripts, notes, and the Ask index stay in a local SQLite database; audio goes only to the transcription/AI providers you chose with your own keys. Because Raven is open source, “it’s private” is verifiable in the code.

​
What Jamie does better (honestly)

  • Managed EU data residency, ISO 27001, GDPR/DORA, DPAs, SSO - turnkey compliance for regulated European teams.
  • A polished product with structured notes, “Ask Jamie” across meetings, and 100+ languages, including iOS.
If you need a vendor that contractually guarantees EU residency and compliance paperwork, Jamie is purpose-built - Raven’s model is “you hold the data,” which is a different (also strong) answer to privacy.

​
When Raven wins

  • You want privacy you can audit (open source) and data that never leaves your machine except your own API calls.
  • You want live help during the call, not just notes after.
  • You want it free, with no meeting cap or per-seat fee.
