Wave AI
AI note taker and recorder for meetings, calls and lectures
What is Wave AI?
Wave AI records, transcribes and summarizes meetings, phone calls, lectures and in-person conversations across phones, watches, computers and the browser. Online meetings are captured either by a bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet or Teams calls or by a desktop app that records system audio without one. Summaries follow built-in or custom templates, and an assistant searches and answers questions across the whole recording history.
Wave AI has a free plan. Paid plans start at $6.67 per month, billed annually ($80 per year); $15 billed monthly. See every plan
Good for
- Recording in-person conversations and meetings from a phone or watch
- Phone calls that need both sides transcribed and summarized
- Households sharing one App Store subscription through Family Sharing
Worth knowing
- The Free plan is a pool of 30 minutes a month, and imported files, phone calls and bot-recorded meetings all count toward it.
- Prices depend on where you buy: Pro is $80 a year on the web but $100 through the App Store or Google Play, and the vendor says prices vary by country.
- Teams needs at least 5 seats, and the $7.50 rate applies only from 20 seats; smaller teams pay $8 to $8.33 per user a month.
- Browser recording is microphone-only and capped at 3 hours a session, and offline recordings are transcribed only once the device is back online.
Key features
- Recording on every device
- Record from a phone, an Apple Watch or Wear OS watch, the desktop app, a browser or the Chrome extension. Phone recording continues in the background and with the screen locked.
- Meeting bot or bot-free capture
- A bot can join Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls from a connected calendar or a pasted link. The desktop app instead records the microphone and system audio with no bot in the call.
- Phone call recording
- Calls dialed from Wave's keypad, or bridged in while already in progress, are recorded on both sides, transcribed and summarized, with your own number shown as caller ID.
- Transcripts and custom summaries
- Transcripts carry speaker labels in 76 languages, and Voice ID remembers a named speaker for later recordings. Summaries use built-in templates or ones you save yourself.
- Wave Assistant
- The assistant searches and chats across the whole recording history, answering questions such as what was decided in a series of meetings from the relevant sessions.
- Sharing, exports and API
- Sessions export to Notion, Google Docs, OneNote, Evernote, PDF or DOCX, or go out as a public link. A developer API, an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and Zapier are available.
