Bring or record the source
Import local media or make a visible, user-controlled recording inside a private macOS workspace.
Built by a diplomat · Designed for multilateral work
BlueMinutes is a local-first macOS workbench shaped by firsthand diplomatic practice and designed around United Nations and other multilateral meeting workflows. Record or import multilingual meetings, review transcripts and speakers, structure positions and reservations, and produce concise, traceable briefing notes.
Independent open-source project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the United Nations, any government, or OpenAI.
Current BlueMinutes source-release interface. Content shown is synthetic demonstration material.
The diplomatic workflow
BlueMinutes treats transcription as one stage in a review chain—not the final product and never an opaque summary you are expected to trust.
Import local media or make a visible, user-controlled recording inside a private macOS workspace.
Keep original speech, interpretation, translation, speakers, and represented entities distinct and reviewable.
Review positions, proposals, decisions, reservations, and conditions before exporting evidence-linked briefing sections.
More than speech-to-text
BlueMinutes keeps the identity, capacity, language path, evidence, and review state behind a statement visible throughout the work.
In development and on the roadmap
These MVP directions matter to BlueMinutes, but they are separated from the capabilities available in the current source release.
A planned official-runtime connection for bounded, user-selected text—without selling a second pool of BlueMinutes AI credits or sending raw meeting audio to Codex.
Discuss selected transcript passages and documents through a scoped meeting assistant while keeping evidence references and consequential output under human review.
Planned UN Digital Library metadata search, on-demand ODS/UNDOCS retrieval, and available UN Transcript import—subject to source terms and explicit user action.
ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API billing are separate. BlueMinutes is independent and does not imply United Nations or OpenAI endorsement.
Free throughout public beta and 1.0
Future annual billing is designed around a standard $50 license, with a planned $35 early-supporter price. Sandbox checkout exists for testing only and cannot create a live charge.
