Hey fellow PMs,

Recently, I have been conducting market research on AI Meeting Assistants for my personal project. The objectives were to evaluate the category’s status quo and assess market potential. I was surprised by how many solutions simply copy each other and compete only in marketing copy.

I believe all these tools might be useful, and I am curious to know if you are using any of them and why. I tested some during the customer discovery and customer development phases and was surprised by the outputs they produce.

To make it easier to find something specific, the tools are grouped into categories. I have also excluded sales call-oriented solutions. Looking forward to your feedback!

• Quality of information gained (1-6)

• Meeting reports & search for information (7-16)

• Video highlights (17-20)

• Information flow through integrations (21-25)

• Meeting analytics (26-27)

• Just notetaking & summaries (28-37)

• Video conferencing software (38-39)

Note: All listed tools have transcribe, notetaking and summarization functionalities. It’s a base.

Quality of Information Gained

1. Kaiwa - Auto-generates agendas tailored to your goals. Assists during calls to make the most of your time. Allows combining conversational data from multiple meetings into various deliverables.

2. Charma - Focuses only on 1v1 conversations. The cool features are: a) connects with your internal chat and automatically forms an actionable agenda based on recent chat history; b) AI writes worded feedback for a reportee based on keywords you provide.

3. Dive - Creates an agenda during the call based on your prompt and provides well-organized post-meeting notes.

4. Fellow - Allows collaborative agenda writing before the meeting (from scratch or using 500+ pre-built templates). Sends a detailed report if you didn’t join a meeting, with the ability to watch the recording. Lovely feature is a meeting cost.

5. Krisp - Provides noise cancellation, so the quality of the meeting can dramatically increase (for those who conduct calls from Starbucks :))..

6. MeetingCulture - For Microsoft 365 only. Agenda builder based on templates, voting during the call, and a pretty cool feedback score after the meeting. Feels like a massive solution with hundreds of features for enterprises rather than small teams.

Meeting Reports & Search for Information

1. Fantom - One of the most popular notetaking tools. Based on the selected template, it automatically parses meeting conversations into a report (summary, takeaways, action items).

2. Otter - Auto-joins your conferencing software as a bot to take and share meeting notes. A cool feature they have is advanced search functionality to find information from past meetings (e.g., ‘what are my takeaways from calls this week’). They also have a tailored solution for sales teams.

3. Tactiq - Can generate personalized meeting recaps based on your custom template. You can write and save prompts to get insights from a collection of meetings.

4. Notta - Converts meetings, interviews, and other conversations into searchable text, focusing on transcription use cases (supports 40+ languages). Recently, they acquired Airgram to enter new markets outside of Japan.

Video Highlights

1. Read - Provides easy access to rewatch moments related to action items.

2. Huddle - Generates concise meeting summary videos. Has the ability to record and share your own video (similar to Loom).

3. Rewatch - Collaborative video hub. They have a ‘Series’ feature that allows you to record and share your updates with the team without joining a meeting.

4. tldv - Allows you to get combined meeting notes and video highlights from several conducted meetings at once. Supports 30+ languages.

Information Flow through Integrations

1. Grain - Has integration with several platforms, allowing meeting summaries to be updated in HubSpot, Salesforce, and Productboard. Very minimalistic design.

3. Spinach - Plenty of integrations to process your meeting notes.

4. Nyota - Automatically creates tickets and updates agendas with action items. Has integration with Notion.

5. Noty - Creates to-do lists after meetings with the ability to set deadlines for each task. Has a centralized dashboard for all to-do items.

Meeting Analytics

1. Fireflies - A very comprehensive app that feels like a knowledge base for meetings. You can upload video or audio files, and they will be parsed into a report (summaries, action items). It includes a dashboard with meeting statistics such as speaking time, number of monologues or questions raised, and silence time. The app also has a mobile version.

2. Equal Time - Valuable for companies with a D&I strategy. Auto-detects genders and notifies you if one gender is over-talking. Also provides stats on how long each person speaks and who needs to be heard more.

7. Supernormal - Meeting notes based on selected templates. Notion-like design with a focus on simplicity.

8. BlueDot - Free Google Meet extension backed by Google for Startups. It’s cool that no bots join the call, but it’s limited in functionality: provides post-meeting transcriptions and summaries.

9. Briefly - Organizes conversational data into summaries, key insights grouped by discussion topics, and text action items. You can easily share a particular piece by email or manually copy and paste it.

10. MetaView - Writes notes based on meeting type, grouping information into different sections. Primarily for the hiring use case.

11. Superpowered - No bots at meetings. Downloadable app to take high-quality notes.

Video Conferencing Software

2. Rumi - Provides real-time notes and summaries.

If I forgot any important assistants, please DM me or just put them in the comments. Thank you!

Hey all,

I’m a regional manager overseeing several practices, and staying on top of conversations and meetings with leadership can get a bit overwhelming. A coworker of mine recommended Wave as an AI note taker, and she swears by it.

I’d love to hear feedback on Wave or any other AI note takers that you use! I’m looking for something that can seamlessly integrate into my workflow and help me stay organized.

Thanks in advance!
