AI Tools for Meeting Notes, Recaps, To-dos

Remote teams and virtual meetings are commonplace post-Covid. Reviewing meeting recordings for takeaways and action items used to take hours. No more. AI has made this process much easier.

Here are six AI tools for creating meeting notes, to-do lists, and recaps. All offer extensive integrations with meeting platforms, calendars, customer management apps, and more.

Wudpecker

Wudpecker transcribes and summarizes virtual meetings, with takeaways, action items, and recap-reminders of earlier sessions. It can also create an upcoming agenda based on prior activity.

Wudpecker’s AI assistant joins a meeting as a guest to record and take notes. Users can then pose questions to the assistant based on the notes.

The platform offers customized default settings for organizing and formatting notes.

Wudpecker’s free plan records and summarizes 10 meetings per month. Premium plans start at $16 per month and include the Ask Wudpecker feature.

Parrot

Parrot is a virtual meeting assistant that supports multiple languages. It can create instant transcripts, summaries, and highlights. Clicking any highlight produces that part of the recording.

Parrot’s free plan includes five recordings per month and additional features such as screen capturing and summaries. The Pro plan starts at $24 per month, billed annually.

Otter

Otter offers similar AI-driven features — transcripts, notes, highlights — plus automatically adding slides to notes.

It can also summarize multiple notes and create actionable takeaways to email participants.

Tactiq

Tactiq is a ChatGPT-driven meeting assistant. The tool provides transcripts, notes, and summaries and composes follow-up emails based on the content. Users can create a knowledge base from the meetings.
