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. - You could not: A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet among them. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
