What they are

tl;dv

tl;dv auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls as a bot, then records, transcribes in 30-plus languages, and generates AI summaries and action items. Sales, customer success, and product teams use it to capture decisions and sync outcomes directly to CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Its multi-meeting intelligence sets it apart from single-call recorders: you can query patterns across hundreds of past calls at once. The free plan has real caps on AI notes and integration credits that are easy to hit fast.

Fireflies

Fireflies is an AI meeting assistant that deploys a bot named Fred into your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Webex calls to record, transcribe, and summarize conversations automatically. It builds a searchable archive of your entire meeting history, extracts action items, and on Business plans pushes notes directly into Salesforce or HubSpot. The free tier is usable for light testing, but the 800-minute storage cap and limited AI credits make it impractical for daily professional use.
