Do you use AI-powered software to record meeting notes? If so, what do you use?
I've tried using tools that automatically take notes during my Zoom/Google Meet calls, but none of them have stuck. A full transcription is overkill and summaries often miss the most important points.
Additional context: Most of my calls are fundraising-related conversations with founders. I would prefer NOT to have a "bot" join a call and ideally the notes could automatically be shared in a specific Slack channel with my team.
I'm curious what tools people are using and for what use cases. I'd appreciate any recommendations. :)

Fathom has added AI summaries that are quite good!

Otter is probably one you’ve already tried. I’m happy with it for capturing meeting notes that can quickly be turned into blog content or other types of public facing materials. Summaries and highlights are OK at best. I’ve also been looking to try out Descript, though I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Gong might be overkill.
Hi! Fathom founder here - we use a bot to record and think it's the best way to do it today so curious why that's a requirement. I'm assuming it's because you don't want people to know you're recording?
A lot of our early investors were actually users first so I know these calls do get recorded.
It's funny I think both investors and founders think the other side is worried about being recorded when our experience has been that most people don't mind it, and actually prefer it if they can get access to the recording.
But again, really curious if my assumption about the "why" behind that requirement is correct.
@richard_white thanks for jumping in! I can understand why some people would prefer an explicit bot to "enter the room". I prefer something invisible, and in general want a future where technology makes me dramatically more efficient and effective as a person (not as a person using a tool) if that makes sense.
I've been using Vowel for over a year now and they released AI-powered summary notes recently. It is actually quite impressive. It's about 80-90% accurate and certainly useful enough for me to use to capture key points. It can be wonky when classifying items as Decisions or Action Items, but that's a minor annoyance. Workflow wise, I take a minute to clean up the Vowel summary, paste it into Notion and then use Notion's AI-powered summarize feature so I can quickly scan what a meeting was about.
@brianmwang I've loosely followed Vowel but haven't tried it yet. It doesn't plugin to Zoom, Meet, or other video tools though, right?
I want an invisible note-taker that can join all my (mostly) external calls.
@rrhoover it's a total Zoom/Meet replacement, so if you're wed to those platforms, then Vowel won't help unfortunately
@rrhoover We're working on something like this at spinach.io. Hit me up if you want to try it out with your team.
Try tactiq:
No bots
Accurate
Summarization works great
I used it for customer developments and happy with results

@tolianich the pitch sounds like what I need. Also looks like they have pretty impressive reach with 250K users.
Thanks for mentioning us, @tolianich!
Hey, @rrhoover Tactiq.io co-founder here! Yes, meeting knowledge is the key. We already added ChatGPT meeting summaries and users love it.
The GPT4 meeting kit got 2k users on a waitlist in 24 hours. Looking forward to the PH launch :)
I'd love to hear your feedback and share what's next! Let me know what is the best way to reach out.
@tolianich @rrhoover @ksenia_svechnikova Do I have to use the Zoom web client for Tactiq to work or can I use the Zoom native client?
@tolianich @rrhoover @ksenia_svechnikova I love it when founders jump in like that! Only on Product Hunt!
@rrhoover check Krisp 2.0 out:
https://www.producthunt.com/post...
launched today!
Hey! Founder of Loopin (https://loopinhq.com)
LoopinAI checks all boxes:
- No bot
- Automatic meeting summaries
- Notes can be shared via Slack/Email
Furthermore, Loopin automatically provides summaries from last meeting for easy reference. So say if you’re meeting a founder in future, you have context from the last conversation you had with them.
Krisp just launched an AI meeting assistant today: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I tested Grain.com 2 years ago but didn't adopt. Revisited it 2 weeks ago and discovered its AI-generated summary and highlights feature and we've adopted it within my team. I really like it for both Google Meet and Zoom. But...it does have a bot join the call.
We've been @typeform (labs) experimenting in this space for a while with https://relayed.ai a product that seamlessly combines asynchronous with synchronous in person communication (making it unique in the space).
+ it does NOT use bots to join calls, since we own the end-to-end experience @rrhoover
+ Summarizes everything sync and async nicely, saving loads of time
The product is still in private beta, but you can just click on "Log in" and you'll go straight through.

It's funny you ask—the Bloks team (former Product of the Day winners Nook Calendar) have been working on this. 😏
If you're looking for an "invisible note-taker," that's exactly what Bloks is. It transcribes, summarizes, and gets action items from any conversation—no intrusive bots or plugins required.
One of our investors gave it a spin yesterday, and he liked the experience so much, everyone at his firm is going to start using it for future calls.
You can get early access at bloks.app ⬅️
@rrhoover A bit late to the convo, but I saw that Krisp launched this week and might be what you are looking for. Looks like it just runs locally on your laptop listening to your calls and then transcribes them. https://www.producthunt.com/post...
@rrhoover hey Ryan, have you tried https://www.stork.ai or its "Call My Link" feature https://www.stork.ai/call-my-link None of the tools you have tried have stuck because they're add-ons to zoom/meet/. Stork is vertically integrated and Call My Link generates a title, a summary, a full transcript (it is an overkill but helps with search), full video and audio recordings that can be played back. Participants of your call don't need a Stork account, only you, as a host. It's free and limitless and you don't need zoom/meet to use Stork.AI
We made HiDock to record meetings on device. After recording user can choose any online or offline transcript tools to convert the audio to text. Thanks to Kevin William David for hunting it. check it out: www.hidock.com
Bloks
No plugins. No bots. Simply captures your mic and your speaker output.
https://www.bloks.app/
Not only does it seamlessly capture my meetings, it captures ANY conversation. In fact I turned it on while my wife was talking to me yesterday and below is the summary and action items (needless to say I will nail her upcoming birthday 👍😜)
Birthday Shopping List
- Rian needs to go to Costco for birthday shopping
- Pistachio cake was originally requested but changed to tiramisu
- Clothing items in size small from Calvin Klein brand are also requested
Clothing Items
- Requested clothing items from Calvin Klein brand are undies four pack (black and multicolor) and a two pack of bras
Action Items
- Go to Costco for birthday shopping
- Buy clothing items in size small from Calvin Klein brand
- Buy tiramisu instead of pistachio cake
Hi Ryan, such a coincidence!
Today we launched Krisp AI Meeting Assistant, which is a totally new approach to the problem.
It's the first bot-free meeting assistant in the market. Works with all apps and does not require any extension, add-on etc.
We also offer unlimited transcriptions on our free plan which is a big differentiator.
