How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Akiflow Meeting Assistant when capturing transcripts and summaries of recurring team or client video calls without manual note-taking matters most, and Mentalyc when documenting psychiatric and assessment notes such as mse and biopsychosocial assessments matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

Mentalyc is a HIPAA-compliant AI documentation tool that records or transcribes therapy sessions and generates clinical progress notes for mental health professionals.
Akiflow Meeting Assistant is a meeting note-taker integrated directly into Akiflow, the time-blocking planner and calendar app. Once enabled in Settings under the AI Center, it connects to a chosen calendar account and automatically joins scheduled online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. After a call ends, it records and transcribes the conversation with speaker identification, then produces an AI-generated summary of the main points and decisions, with the transcript typically ready within minutes and an email notification when it's done. A distinguishing trait is how tightly it ties into Akiflow's workflow: it detects action items from the discussion and lets you turn them into Akiflow tasks with one click, and it can draft a follow-up email pre-filled with the summary, action items, and attendees. Reviewers can also play back the meeting audio in-app while reading the transcript. It works on both desktop and mobile, with a streamlined mobile interface for quick review. It is aimed at professionals who already plan their day in Akiflow and want meeting capture without leaving the app.

Mentalyc is an AI documentation platform built for therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, PMHNPs, social workers, and other behavioral health professionals. It captures sessions in several ways: recording telehealth or in-person sessions with client consent, uploading an audio file, dictating a recap, or typing a short summary. The session audio is transcribed, and according to the company audio is processed and deleted while transcripts are stripped of identifying details. From this input it auto-generates clinical notes in multiple formats, including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, PIRP, PIE, intake notes, MSE, biopsychosocial assessments, and supervision/consultation notes. Beyond notes, it produces treatment plans with measurable goals and tracks client progress over time. Mentalyc is web-based and accessed through a browser after signup, and it can sync with EHR systems such as SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Jane App or run as a standalone tool. It states it is HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant and does not use customer data to train AI models.
