Your personal context engine.
LokalBot records meetings without a bot joining the call, then transcribes and summarizes them on your Mac. It can also search your meetings and, if you turn it on, what you saw on screen. Processing runs locally by default. It is free and open source, for Apple silicon with macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
Look for which calendars and reminders it syncs with, whether it works offline, and how you get your tasks out again.
