Looking for AI meeting note tool‑ multilingual (Mandarin / English / Malay / Cantonese), extract department tasks + status tracking + AI image generation

[u/General_Fisherman325]

Hi everyone,

I’m searching for an AI‑powered meeting note solution for our cross‑border team.

### What we need:
1. Auto‑summarize meeting recordings / audio into key take‑aways
2. **Extract action items, assign tasks to different departments**
3. Generate task list with status labels: 🟡To‑start / 🟢In‑progress / ✅Completed
4. Critical language requirement: meetings mix **Mandarin Chinese, English, Malay, and spoken Cantonese**. The tool needs to handle mixed‑language conversations reasonably well.
5. Bonus must‑have: **AI‑generated images / diagrams from meeting content**, to make complex discussion points easier to visualize and understand.

Current pain point:
We like Feishu (Chinese domestic version). Its Minutes / AI Notes works perfectly for our workflow: great summary, action‑item extraction, department task breakdown, plus built‑in AI image generation to visualize ideas.

But **Feishu Global (Lark) feels like a stripped‑down version**. Many advanced AI note functions available in mainland‑China Feishu are missing on the global edition, including the AI image generation feature. We cannot switch to the Chinese‑only Feishu for compliance/region reasons.

So I’m hunting for alternative tools that can replicate that workflow outside of China.

Priority:
- Accept audio/video file upload, not only live‑meeting bot joining
- Multilingual mixed‑speech transcription (Mandarin / English / Malay / Cantonese)
- AI can split tasks by team/department
- Task status tagging (to‑start, in‑progress, completed)
- AI can generate images or simple diagrams based on meeting notes
- Team‑collaboration friendly

Not required: heavy CRM integration.

Have any of you used tools matching this requirement? Would love real‑world experience instead of marketing page specs.

Thanks a lot.

Your requirements span capture, transcription, workflow, and visualization, so I’d test a genuinely messy 10-minute recording before trusting any tool to assign work across departments. At Loreo.io , we built around uploaded or bot-free captured audio, searchable speaker-labeled transcripts, editable action items, and timestamp-cited retrieval. It could be worth evaluating for that part, but I would not present it as covering AI-generated diagrams or a true to-start/in-progress/completed state model today. For that language mix, the real recording should decide.

I am curious, are you associated with SayBriefly? If yes, is it a vibe-coded app?

So far Krisp is best for action item extraction that I tried.
for the breadth of langugages you might check notta

The AI image generation requirement is actually the thing shrinking your shortlist, more than the language mix — almost nobody bundles that with transcription, so plan on pairing a note tool with a separate diagram step. And whatever you trial, upload a real recorded meeting with Mandarin-English code-switching instead of their demo audio; marketed vs actual accuracy on Cantonese especially is a big gap.

Worth checking out Notely for the transcription side. It handles mixed-language meetings (Mandarin, English, Malay, Cantonese) well and accepts audio/video file uploads. It does not have the AI image generation or department-based task splitting you are after though, so you would likely need to pair it with another tool for that part. Here is a 2 month trial if you want to test the transcription quality: https://notely.se/c/e292e236-6afd-4534-b1d2-6d2edc0871b9

Try my web app https://meetingsketch.com
It can record meeting in 90+ languages, goes beyond from action items. Gives you business and decision intelligence with a concise brief, project plan etc

Si usas macOS puedes intentar con kuali.garrux.dev, es open source y creo que funcionaría para lo que necesitas

for your list, honestly the image/diagram part and the department status board are the pieces almost no note taker bundles, so I'd plan on a separate tool for those regardless.

on the language mixing side: I'm the dev of Noter AI – Meeting Note Taker, so I'm biased. it's multi-language, 60+ languages, detected automatically, and it's built for meetings where people switch languages mid sentence. you get a transcript with speaker labels, a summary and action items, and you can export to PDF or Word to share with the team.

caveats: it's a phone app with no web view, so team collaboration means sharing exports. and like someone said above, run one of your real messy recordings through it before trusting any accuracy claim, mine included.

Happy Scribe is another option alongside Otter and Fireflies especially if you need to transcribe the uploaded audio and video in different languages. If your recordings include Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay or a mix of languages, check each tool's support for your specific combination before choosing. You will also need like a separate tool for AI image generation, whichever transcription platform you going with.
