Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Scribie you could make: documents. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Scribie’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.
