Doculigent
What Doculigent is
Doculigent is an open-source screen recorder and AI assistant for meetings and asynchronous work, available on Linux, macOS, Windows and the web. It captures screen and camera together in one pass at full resolution, then provides on-device, speaker-separated transcription for recordings and live meetings. Live transcripts work with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet without a bot joining the call. The app can produce summaries and notes, and answer questions with links to relevant moments. Recordings and shared files can be stored in Doculigent Cloud, an S3-compatible bucket or Google Drive. Recording, transcription and AI summaries happen on the device by default; nothing uploads unless a recording is explicitly shared. Users can run local LLMs or supply their own API key for the AI layer. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited local recording and transcription, bring-your-own storage, 100+ languages, BYOK and unlimited teams. Paid plans start at $19 a month. Free-plan recipients lose access to a shared recording after 24 hours; paid-plan access is permanent. Editing tools for polishing recordings are on the roadmap.
