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. :)

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.

I just stumbled on https://supernormal.com I have yet to try it.

@chrismackintosh oh yes, I very briefly tried Supernormal when they were very early. The summaries weren't good enough for me, tbh. But it was early. I need to revisit.
I use Otter but it does have the bot that joins … if you have suspicious callers and you’re not disclosing you’re recording the call it can be challenging

Used and like rev.com also got a rec for kohort.io but haven't tried yet
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.
I've heard good things about Fireflies.ai :) https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

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 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
I can’t keep attention and take notes at the same time. My solution is a whisper-based, locally ran transcription software on top of which I – immediately after the call – standout, highlight or mark the highlights and what needs to be stored for future reference.
Otter.ai so far. I’ve learned I need to enunciate more

You can upload the recording and it transcribes and points out key moments and insights.

Also, haven't tried this, but: https://krisp.ai/ai-meeting-assi...
Funny. Just got back from Enterprise Connect and I came back with the impression that all the major conferencing platforms: Webex, Zoom and Microsoft have beefed up their "native" transcription and summarization. Diarization too. I probably need to get more info because I came to believe that these functions are going to be embedded.
Formless by Typeform
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.

@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...
we use https://www.laxis.com/ , like the ChatGPT integration to search and QA on meeting transcript, and also the post meeting notes

I use Otter.ai
I like it. I don't use the summaries.
