Amie: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Amie is an AI assistant for meetings, tasks and calendars. The application records meetings, produces summaries and action items, and links them to a calendar and a to-do list. Through an MCP server, AI clients such as Claude or ChatGPT can query meeting notes, calendar entries and tasks. Amie is offered as a hosted service with a downloadable desktop app. According to the vendor, it is positioned as a replacement for meeting-note tools such as Otter and Fireflies.

Amie GmbH is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Its privacy policy states that personal information is stored and processed in Germany, or where the company or its partners maintain facilities, and it includes a section on GDPR. The third parties it names as current providers are Segment, Mailchimp, Intercom and Stripe, which are US companies; the policy does not describe where they process data. The product is not offered as open source, and the vendor describes no self-hosting option. For a European organisation, transfers to these US providers are the point to assess in the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Amie

Amie 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.

Amie hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Amie 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 Amie together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
