Overview
What you provide
- Record an authorised online or in-person meeting through the selected bot or application.
What you get
- Wudpecker creates editable notes and transcripts with speaker names, collections and AI question answering.
Choosing this tool
Free can fit a mixture of a few attended online calls and manually recorded sessions. Plus changes both bot-meeting volume and AI questioning, rather than only storage. Circleback provides a different retention and automation split; Gladia is appropriate when transcripts must feed a custom application instead of a ready-made notes workspace. Inspect speaker corrections and sharing permissions as part of the recording workflow.
A decision worked through
A user with twelve bot-attended meetings exceeds the Free ten-meeting allowance by two, even if app recording is unlimited. Moving those meetings to a consented app capture is a workflow change, not evidence that bot overages are free.
