About Menutes
Built in Estonia for teams everywhere
Menutes is built by a small team in Estonia with one goal: make meeting documentation effortless so teams can focus on what matters.
We believe every meeting deserves a clear record. Not because of compliance or process, but because good documentation helps teams move faster, make better decisions, and hold each other accountable. Menutes exists to capture the conversations that shape your work, automatically and accurately.

LinkedInWhat we stand for
Privacy by design
All meeting data is processed and stored on EU infrastructure. We chose GDPR compliance as a foundation, not an afterthought. Your conversations stay yours.
Accuracy first
We optimize for transcription accuracy above all else. Speaker identification, noise handling, and multi-language support are core engineering priorities, not bolt-on features.
Simplicity over features
We build tools that work without configuration or training. Hit record, get your minutes. No bots joining calls, no complex setup, no feature bloat.
Transparency
Clear pricing, honest documentation, and straightforward communication. We tell you exactly what Menutes does and doesn't do.
Menutes started with a simple frustration. After years of sitting through meetings where half the context was lost the moment everyone stood up, we decided to build something better. Not another bot that awkwardly joins your video call, but a tool that quietly records and transcribes any meeting, whether you're in a boardroom or on a Zoom call.
We founded AI Eesti in Estonia, a country known for building digital-first infrastructure and taking data privacy seriously. That environment shaped our approach: process everything on EU servers, keep the product simple, and never compromise on accuracy.
Today, Menutes serves teams across Europe and beyond. From startups running daily standups to enterprises documenting board meetings, the platform handles over 50 languages and produces structured meeting minutes that are ready to share without editing.
