  4. 0:09Research indicates that the average
  5. 0:11attention span during meetings is
  6. 0:12usually 10 to 18 minutes long now I
  7. 0:15don't know about you but I don't have
  8. 0:17the luxury of 10minute meeting so does
  9. 0:19that mean that a lot of the important
  10. 0:21stuff gets forgotten well that's where
  11. 0:23AI noakers come in these tools help you
  12. 0:26transcribe and track conversations so
  13. 0:29that you can focus on talking instead of
  14. 0:31scribbling down notes hey there I'm Alex
  15. 0:33NOS from Automation helpers.com and we
  16. 0:36help companies like yours get set up and
  17. 0:38automated using industry leading portals
  18. 0:41apps and Integrations now plain and
  19. 0:43simple every business should have an AI
  20. 0:45notetaking tool but not every AI
  21. 0:48notetaking tool is created equally in
  22. 0:51this video we're going to break down
  23. 0:52some of the best AI note taking tools
  24. 0:55and compare their differences looking at
  25. 0:57their accuracy features pricing and and
  26. 1:00Integrations two of these tools I
  27. 1:02actually use so let's dive in and take a
  28. 1:05look let's kick things off with
  29. 1:06fireflies AI a tool that we actually use
  30. 1:09internally to automatically transcribe
  31. 1:12summarize and analyze our meetings which
  32. 1:14makes it easier to track key discussions
  33. 1:16and takeaways we've actually built an
  34. 1:19automated business operating system that
  35. 1:21automatically pulls in notes and action
  36. 1:24items from fireflies.ai links it
  37. 1:27directly to the correlating project so
  38. 1:29that our team doesn't have to spend
  39. 1:31hours going through transcripts or
  40. 1:33trying to remember that task that that
  41. 1:35client wanted them to do if your team
  42. 1:37has regular meetings and needs a
  43. 1:38reliable way to capture notes action
  44. 1:41items and key takeaways well
  45. 1:43fireflies.ai is definitely worth
  46. 1:46considering it's incredibly accurate and
  47. 1:48the free plan is incredibly generous
  48. 1:51you'll see that we have a number of ways
  49. 1:53to search a meeting transcript as well
  50. 1:55we can filter through the focus as well
  51. 1:58interestingly the sentiment and we also
  52. 2:01have specific speakers which has yet to
  53. 2:04fail me we can also quickly search for
  54. 2:07keywords to surface relevant meeting
  55. 2:09highlights fireflies offers a free plan
  56. 2:12that includes unlimited transcription
  57. 2:14limited AI summaries and 800 minutes of
  58. 2:17storage per seat this plan is generous
  59. 2:19and perfect for individuals starting out
  60. 2:22for those seeking more advanced features
  61. 2:24and greater capacity fireflies AI
  62. 2:26provides Pro business and Enterprise
  63. 2:28plans each with with varying levels of
  64. 2:30storage Integrations and support to
  65. 2:33connect your fireflies AI to other apps
  66. 2:36and we're not talking about Zoom Google
  67. 2:38meets or video conferencing we're
  68. 2:40talking about sharing the meeting notes
  69. 2:41with another app like slack or air table
  70. 2:44well you will need to upgrade to a paid
  71. 2:46plan as well as if you want to receive
  72. 2:48unlimited storage premium features and
  73. 2:51AI search and filtering oh yeah you're
  74. 2:54going to have to upgrade next up we have
  75. 2:56otter AI one of the most well-known AI
  76. 2:58powered node takers Within estimated 20
  77. 3:01million users it's widely used by
  78. 3:04professionals students and businesses
  79. 3:06for realtime transcription and
  80. 3:07collaboration Auto AI stands out for its
  81. 3:10real-time transcription meaning you can
  82. 3:11access your meeting notes while you're
  83. 3:13still in the meeting also just like
  84. 3:16fireflies it connects with all major
  85. 3:19video conferencing platforms like Google
  86. 3:21meets zoom and Microsoft teams one of
  87. 3:24the best features of uto AI is its
  88. 3:26collaborative workspace allowing teams
  89. 3:28to highlight comment and edit
  90. 3:30transcriptions in real time it's AI
  91. 3:32powered summaries break down long
  92. 3:34conversations into key takeaways but
  93. 3:37this is only available on the paid plan
  94. 3:39unlike fireflies so what about the price
  95. 3:42tag of those paid plans the free plan
  96. 3:44provides you with 300 minutes per month
  97. 3:46but that's capped at a limit of only 30
  98. 3:49minutes per conversation so really you
  99. 3:51only get 10 conversations a month and
  100. 3:54you'll need to cut those conversations
  101. 3:56short or pull out your pen and paper to
  102. 3:58start taking notes M the summarization
  103. 4:01of transcripts is also really lacking in
  104. 4:03comparison to fireflies that is unless
  105. 4:05you are on that paid plan which bumps
  106. 4:07you up to 1,200 monthly transcription
  107. 4:10minutes with a cap again at 90 minutes
  108. 4:13per conversation regardless of those
  109. 4:15limits on meeting times OT AI is still a
  110. 4:19solid choice and when we consider the
  111. 4:21well priced entry level plan well it
  112. 4:23could be the right tool for your
  113. 4:24business now let's talk about fathom a
  114. 4:26rising star in the AI note taking space
  115. 4:29it offers fre unlimited recordings for
  116. 4:31individuals which is something rare
  117. 4:33among AI powered meeting assistants it
  118. 4:35also connects with zoom Microsoft teams
  119. 4:37and Google meets unlike the other tools
  120. 4:40we'll cover fathom offers that free
  121. 4:42unlimited recording plan however you

  123. 4:48you will be going through the
  124. 4:49transcripts of majority of your meetings
  125. 4:52it standout feature is the realtime note
  126. 4:53taking and timestamped highlights
  127. 4:56meaning you can revisit important
  128. 4:57moments in a conversation while you're
  129. 5:00still in the conversation for teams
  130. 5:01fathom offers A Team edition at $19 a
  131. 5:05month and a team Edition Pro a bit
  132. 5:07higher at $29 a month with more advanced
  133. 5:11collaboration tools one fullback of
  134. 5:13fathom is in its native Integrations and
  135. 5:15ability to connect with other platforms
  136. 5:17I want to be able to connect my AI not
  137. 5:19taking tool to my other platforms
  138. 5:21particularly my project management so I
  139. 5:23can directly link a meeting I had with a
  140. 5:25client with that client's record next we
  141. 5:28have AA and AI powered noeker designed
  142. 5:31specifically for sales and customer
  143. 5:33facing teams unlike other tools we've
  144. 5:36looked at aoma doesn't just transcribe
  145. 5:38meetings and summarize those meetings it
  146. 5:40also provides deep insights into how to
  147. 5:42improve sales conversations aoma offers
  148. 5:46AI not taking conversation intelligence
  149. 5:49and speaker tracking the conversation
  150. 5:51intelligence well this is aimed at
  151. 5:53improving your future sales
  152. 5:55conversations by looking at what you
  153. 5:57might have stuffed up in the past aom
  154. 5:59integrates well with CRM tools sales
  155. 6:01platforms and of course connects with
  156. 6:03the usual video conferencing apps like
  157. 6:05zoom and Google meet a key advantage of
  158. 6:08aoma is in its conversation intelligence
  159. 6:11which helps sales team track patterns
  160. 6:13measure engagement and improve client
  161. 6:16interactions it also provides real-time
  162. 6:18coaching insights making it an excellent
  163. 6:20tool for sales and customer focused
  164. 6:22teams however no free plan here a 14-day
  165. 6:25free trial is offered though if you want
  166. 6:27to take a look after that you'll
  167. 6:29expecting a $19 a month subscription for
  168. 6:32that entry level plan this option is
  169. 6:35definitely pricier than the other
  170. 6:36competitors but if your team is sales
  171. 6:38and customer facing Focus well it could
  172. 6:40be the right tool to improve your
  173. 6:42overall customer engagement and finally
  174. 6:45we have TLD DV too long didn't view a
  175. 6:49great AI powered notaker designed
  176. 6:51specifically for remote teams and a sync
  177. 6:54collaboration unlike some of the other
  178. 6:56tools TLD DV or to Long didn't view spe
  179. 6:59specifically aims at creating an AI
  180. 7:01notaker for us remote teams TV works
  181. 7:04with the usual video conferencing
  182. 7:06platforms Google meets Zoom Microsoft
  183. 7:09teams but what it does slightly
  184. 7:10different is it allows users to create
  185. 7:12timestamps while in meeting so they can
  186. 7:15look back and remember important moments
  187. 7:17that they wanted to remind themselves
  188. 7:19about it also allows quick note sharing
  189. 7:21and summarization but really it doesn't
  190. 7:24offer anything more than what fireflies
  191. 7:26or any one of the other competitors do
  192. 7:28the free plan though packs a punch
  193. 7:30allowing users to access essential AI
  194. 7:33driven meeting features at no cost you
  195. 7:35can enjoy unlimited meetings and viewers
  196. 7:38with 10 AI meeting summaries each month
  197. 7:41oh one thing that I almost forgot to
  198. 7:43mention and I need to is that TLD DV or
  199. 7:45too long didn't view actually offers
  200. 7:47transcription in over 30 languages so if
  201. 7:50your team is diverse well they've got
  202. 7:53you covered and the AI summaries and
  203. 7:55speaker recognition also works for those
  204. 7:57different languages the platform also
  205. 7:59offers Integrations with platforms like
  206. 8:01slack Gmail and calendar tools and other
  207. 8:04features like automatic meeting
  208. 8:05recording clipping and embedding and a
  209. 8:09meeting view tracker allowing you to
  210. 8:11understand what meetings you've got
  211. 8:12coming up will help your team work
  212. 8:14efficiently and manage their meetings
  213. 8:16while the free plan is generous heavier
  214. 8:18AI usage and more uploads require an
  215. 8:21upgrade to a paid plan each of these AI
  216. 8:24not takers Has Its Own Strength well we
  217. 8:27took a look at some of the options out
  218. 8:29there so which one is going to be best
  219. 8:31for you and your team fireflies AI is
  220. 8:34definitely one of the best options for
  221. 8:35businesses and sales teams who need
  222. 8:38Integrations great AI summarization and
  223. 8:40a pricing that doesn't hurt the bank
  224. 8:43otter AI is also great for General
  225. 8:45business use with realtime transcription
  226. 8:47and team collaboration but I would point
  227. 8:49you in the direction of fireflies over
  228. 8:51otter just because you get more bang for
  229. 8:54your buck fathom which offers the best
  230. 8:56free plan with unlimited recordings and

  236. 9:11Integrations and to Long didn't view is
  237. 9:14a great option for remote teams but
  238. 9:15again I would still point you in the
  239. 9:16direction of fireflies as we can see
  240. 9:19when we stack each tool side by side
  241. 9:21fireflies and fathoms free plans are
  242. 9:23great to Long didn't view is another
  243. 9:25awesome option however if you want the
  244. 9:27premium features well Auto AI entry
  245. 9:29level plan is enticing but we've got to
  246. 9:32remember the per meeting limits which
  247. 9:34can quickly become a nuisance if you're
  248. 9:36looking for a truly hands-off experience
  249. 9:38with fewer limits then upgrading to the
