The feature list is long, but the bot-spam experience burns social capital with clients, and the summaries are interchangeable with cheaper rivals. Bot-free alternatives like Granola are the better answer now.
Known limitations
- Bot visibly joins calls — awkward with external meetings.
- Transcription accuracy is average.
- Cluttered UI trying to be everything.
