Laxis Review: An AI Note Taker With No Bot in Your Meeting
Laxis records meetings on your own computer, so no bot joins the call. In a scripted three-person test it caught all five key facts and ignored an off-topic trap. It also drafts follow-up emails by voice and answers questions across several meetings on the paid plan.

The problem with meeting bots
Most AI note takers join a meeting as an extra participant. Everyone can see the bot, someone has to let it in, and that can feel awkward on a client or job call. A note taker that records on your own computer avoids this. The real question is whether the notes are still accurate.
What the test covered
The source article used one scripted meeting with three people and about two minutes of talk. It contained five facts the note taker had to capture: a launch date change, an approved budget, two follow-up actions with owners, and a backup plan. It also included an off-topic story about the office coffee machine, which the note taker should ignore.
Laxis captured all five facts with the right owners and skipped the coffee machine story. The article also reported two further tests:
- Voice follow-up email. Dictating into Gmail produced a clean sentence without the filler words. The paid Agent Mode turned a spoken request into a complete email.
- Questions across two meetings. The paid AI Chat answered what had changed since the first meeting and what was still open. It treated the newer updates as replacing the older to-dos.
Setup and tips
- Download the DMG version for Mac. Only that version includes the voice keyboard, according to the article.
- Give each speaker a name in the transcript once. Otherwise the notes say "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2", which makes ownership of tasks unclear.
Pricing
- Free: 300 minutes a month, recordings up to 45 minutes, 30 days of history and the voice keyboard.
- Premium: from about $9.99 a month on the yearly plan, with 2,000 minutes a month, unlimited history, AI Chat and Agent Mode. Check the current price on the vendor's site, as prices change.
Our take
The no-bot approach is the main attraction. Whether it works for you depends on how your meetings are run and how much you rely on follow-up emails. The free plan is enough to run the same kind of test on your own meetings before you decide to upgrade.
Frequently asked questions

There is a free plan with 300 minutes a month, recordings up to 45 minutes and 30 days of history. Agent Mode and AI Chat across meetings are on the paid Premium plan.
Can Laxis answer questions across more than one meeting?
On the Premium plan, AI Chat can answer questions across several selected meetings, for example what changed since an earlier meeting and what is still open.
