The Jamie alternative built for confidential work
Some tools optimise for fast notes or broad cloud convenience. Caven is built for a harder problem: confidential meeting intelligence for regulated professional teams.
TL;DR for Busy Teams
Jamie is a privacy-first, general-purpose AI notetaker from Germany: no bot, processing in the EU, ISO 27001 and no training on your data.
Caven shares those foundations but is built specifically for legal, finance and M&A teams, and that is where the difference lies. Caven files every meeting straight into iManage and NetDocuments, runs in your own cloud or fully on-premise, pseudonymizes names before the AI model sees them, records phone calls and lets attendees opt out from the advance notice.
Jamie has no legal DMS integration, no own-cloud or on-premise option and cannot record phone calls. For privacy-conscious everyday meetings Jamie is a solid choice; for matter, deal and committee work, Caven fits how your firm already works.

Bot-free by design
A core requirement for sensitive client and deal conversations. Nobody joins the call but the people you invited.
Sovereign EU Cloud
100% GDPR Compliant Processing
Controlled custody
Keep recordings and AI processing in Caven’s EU cloud, in your own cloud, or fully on-premise.
Filed where your work lives
Summaries and transcripts go straight into iManage, NetDocuments or SharePoint, next to the matter or deal, instead of staying trapped in a note app. Pseudonymization and encrypted recordings keep exposure low along the way.
Why choose Caven?
No bot in the call
Caven records from your desktop or phone. No third-party participant, no awkward introductions and no platform lock-in.
Your data stays in the EU
All recordings are processed exclusively within the EU. Never used for model training, never shared with third parties.
Built in Belgium, under EU law
Caven is a Belgian company with no US parent. Audio is processed on EU servers, and you can host Caven in your own cloud or on-premise.
The right summary, automatically
Caven recognises the type of meeting and applies a template tailored to your industry, or one built from your own notes.
Every meeting searchable
Every conversation becomes a structured record. Search your full history and ask the AI Copilot about any meeting.
Deploy where you want
Caven cloud, your own AWS, Azure or GCP, or fully on-premise. ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.
Which platform is right for you?
Many teams compare AI meeting tools on summary quality alone. For legal, finance, M&A, private banking and compliance workflows, the better questions are: can the tool work without a meeting bot, can you control where recordings and transcripts live, and can outputs flow into your professional systems?
If your priority is lightweight personal note-taking for non-sensitive internal meetings, a general tool may be enough. If you handle regulated client work, deal work, committee work or confidential advisory, the bar is much higher. Caven’s advantage is not one isolated feature: it is the combination of bot-free capture, controlled custody, pseudonymization-aware design, encrypted recordings and embedded workflows for regulated teams.
