Amurex

Amurex is a fully open-source AI meeting copilot built by The Personal AI Company, distributed as a Chrome extension and licensed under AGPL-3.0. It integrates directly into Google Meet and Microsoft Teams (web) to automate meeting busywork—capturing transcripts, generating summaries, and drafting follow-up emails—without requiring a separate bot to join the call.

What It Is

Amurex is a browser extension in the productivity/tools category that acts as an invisible AI companion during video meetings. Rather than a standalone meeting recorder, it runs inside the browser tab where the meeting is happening, giving it access to live audio and conversation context. The GitHub repository describes it as "the fully open-source invisible companion for work and life," with the meeting copilot being one component of a broader planned Amurex ecosystem that also includes a backend server and a web interface, both available as separate open-source repositories.

Core Features

• Real-time suggestions: Intelligent prompts and context-aware suggestions surface during the meeting as the conversation unfolds.
• Smart summaries & action items: Automatically generates comprehensive meeting summaries and extracts action items at the end of a session.
• Late-join recap: Provides a quick catch-up summary for participants who join a meeting already in progress.
• Full meeting transcripts: Delivers accurate, real-time transcription of the entire meeting.
• Built-in follow-up emails: Generates professional follow-up emails with a single click, ready to send after the meeting ends.

Platform Support and Architecture

The extension supports Chrome, Edge, and Brave browsers, and works with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams (web versions). The project is structured as three interconnected repositories: the Chrome extension (this repo), a backend server, and a web frontend. Self-hosters can configure the extension to point at their own backend and web server URLs, giving full control over data handling. The Chrome Web Store listing notes the extension handles personally identifiable information and personal communications, with the developer stating data is not sold to third parties.

Open-Source Deployment Model

The core platform source code is publicly available on GitHub under AGPL-3.0, meaning anyone can clone, modify, and self-host the full stack. The README provides step-by-step self-hosting instructions, including creating a config.js file to point the extension at a local backend. The project had accumulated over 2,800 GitHub stars and 221 forks as of mid-2025, indicating active community interest. Contributors can report bugs, suggest features, or submit pull requests, and a Discord community is available for direct engagement with the team.

Update: v1.0.27

The latest release, v1.0.27, was published on March 21, 2025, and addresses a bug in the signup notification flow. The Chrome Web Store listing reflects this version (1.0.27, updated March 23, 2025). The repository was last pushed to in May 2025, and the GitHub metadata shows ongoing activity with 62 open issues as of mid-2025, suggesting active development continues.
