Who should choose Numi
- Teams in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or the Netherlands who need accurate German or Dutch transcription and want the write-up done for them, not just a transcript dump.
- Teams that want the follow-up work done: a clean summary, the decisions made, the action items, and drafted next steps after every meeting, instead of a notes file to act on later.
- Teams operating under GDPR who need EU-hosted infrastructure with a published DPA and subprocessor list before they can sign a contract.

- Teams that need lightweight meeting notes across any kind of meeting, with no budget and no GDPR constraints around where their meeting data is hosted.
- Organizations that prioritize breadth of integrations over EU hosting and done-for-you follow-up: Fireflies connects to 100+ tools and has consumer-level name recognition.
