8 European alternatives to Jamie — GDPR-compliant & EU-hosted.
Jamie is an AI meeting assistant that turns online and in-person conversations into notes, summaries and searchable knowledge. It runs as an app for Mac, Windows and iPhone and captures audio on the device, so no bot joins the meeting. Jamie works alongside Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and other platforms. The product offers custom note templates, chat across past meetings, pre-meeting briefings and workflows that send follow-ups to CRM and other systems through integrations, webhooks, an API and MCP.
Jamie is operated by wespond UG (haftungsbeschränkt), a German company in Rösrath near Cologne. According to the vendor, storage and processing stay within the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and audio is deleted after transcription. A blog post from January 2026 states that transcripts are stored in Frankfurt, that audio is transcribed on a serverless GPU service from Replicate, and that notes are generated through the OpenAI API without data being stored at OpenAI. It does not say where those two providers process the data. Ask for the data processing agreement and the current list of sub-processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Jamie
Jamie is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.
Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Jamie scores best on data residency.
Jamie is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.
What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Jamie together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
