Omi (originally started as Friend) is an open-source AI platform combining wearable hardware with desktop and mobile apps. It records audio and screen context in real time to generate transcriptions, notes, and action items, backed by an AI chat with long-term memory. Users can buy pre-built devices or build their own hardware using off-the-shelf microcontrollers.

What it's for

  • Transcribe daily meetings and in-person conversations continuously
  • Query an AI assistant about things you previously discussed or viewed on screen
  • Extract automated summaries and action items from conversations
  • Build custom AI wearable hardware using open schematics and firmware

Features

  • Continuous real-time audio transcription with speaker diarization
  • Screen capture integration on desktop platforms
  • Memory-augmented AI chat interface to recall past conversations
  • Companion mobile apps for iOS and Android built with Flutter
  • Desktop clients for macOS and Windows
  • Open-source firmware supporting nRF and ESP32 hardware
  • Developer SDKs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support

Pricing

Open source. Free and open-source software (MIT); pre-assembled hardware or DIY parts sold separately.
