Best for meeting minutes in Japanese and English
Rimo is a Japanese-built meeting assistant that joins calls and writes minutes and summaries. There is only a 7-day trial and no free plan, and the site and help pages are mainly in Japanese. The $9 price is shown as half off, with no end date, so it may go back to $18.
Who Rimo is for
- Fits if your meetings are in Japanese and you need minutes written for the team
- Works for teams that keep customer notes in Salesforce or Dynamics
Who Rimo is not for
- Skip it if you want a plan that stays free, as there is only a 7-day trial
- Watch out: the site shows a limited-time 50% price with no end date, and $18 and $30 may return
- Tight if you share one login, because plans are sold per account and accounts cannot be shared
- Too light for English-only help, as the help material is mostly in Japanese
- Watch out: an Annual tab exists, but its figures could not be read

Keep Rimo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rimo you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 89 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $108 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet among them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
What this rests on. Rimo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
