Greg vs Jamie: meeting bot vs bot-free desktop notes
Jamie (meetjamie.ai) is a privacy-first AI notepad: a Mac, Windows, or iPhone app that writes notes, transcripts, and action items without putting a bot in Zoom, Meet, or Teams. Greg (getgreg.io) is the other shape: a visible teammate in the room, then phone, SMS, and Slack after.
What Jamie is better at (honestly)
No bot in the participant list is a real preference — the same split as Greg vs Granola. The capture-shape write-up is bot-free vs meeting-bot. Per meetjamie.ai, Jamie also covers in-person meetings from the device, speaker memory, Ask Jamie across meetings, and notes in 99+ languages. That personal-notepad UX is not what Greg sells.
Their homepage privacy claims include EU hosting, audio deleted after transcription, GDPR, ISO 27001, and “no model training” on customer data. Greg’s public policy is narrower and different — quote only from getgreg.io/privacy, and use the privacy and consent checklist. We do not invent SOC 2, HIPAA, or EU residency for Greg.
Pricing is in euros on meetjamie.ai/pricing. Free is €0 with a 10-meeting / 30-minute cap. Paid personal plans (Plus / Pro) and Team / Enterprise are published there in EUR — see their pricing if anything moved. We will not invent a USD conversion.
Where Greg is the better Jamie alternative
Greg can join when you cannot. Auto-join and a visible bot mean notes still land if you skip the call or join from a phone that is not running a notepad. After the summary, follow-through is the product: prep by phone, SMS, Slack, and action items on a board. That is a worse product if you wanted a quiet personal notebook. It is the point if you wanted a teammate.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Greg a Jamie alternative?
- Yes if you want an AI meeting assistant that can join Zoom, Meet, or Teams as a visible bot — including when you cannot attend — and then call, text, or Slack you. No if you specifically want a bot-free desktop or iPhone notepad. Those are different jobs. See also Greg vs Granola.
- Does Jamie join the meeting as a bot?
- Jamie’s public site says it does not join as a bot; it captures from your computer or iPhone. Greg always appears as a named participant. You are responsible for consent either way. The longer write-up is the bot-free vs meeting-bot guide.
- Who should stay on Jamie?
- People who hate bots in the roster, who need in-person capture from a laptop or phone, or who want EU-hosted notes with the limits published on meetjamie.ai/pricing. Stay there if that is the product you want. Switch the evaluation to Greg (getgreg.io) if the job is “someone else was in the room and still follows up.”
- Which Greg is this?
- Greg the AI meeting assistant at getgreg.io — not getgreg.ai. Start free; privacy at https://getgreg.io/privacy; hello@getgreg.io.
