How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Amical when dictating emails, messages, and documents hands-free with app-appropriate formatting matters most, and Meetingflow when logging meeting outcomes and updating salesforce or hubspot in one click matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

AI meeting assistant for sales teams, distributed as a Chrome extension, Microsoft Teams/365 add-on, and Slack integration, that records, transcribes, and lets you chat with meetings.
Amical is an open-source, MIT-licensed AI dictation application that turns speech into formatted text directly on your device. It runs OpenAI's Whisper for speech recognition locally and uses open-source LLMs (via Ollama) for intelligent processing, so dictation can work offline once a local model is set up; for machines that can't handle local inference, it offers a cloud fallback. Built with Electron and TypeScript, it runs on Mac and Windows as a desktop app with a floating widget interface and configurable hotkeys. Its standout feature is context-aware formatting: it detects the active application and adapts tone and structure accordingly, producing professional text in email, casual phrasing in chat apps, or prompt and command-style output in IDEs and terminals. It supports many languages plus mixed-language dictation, and custom vocabulary for domain-specific terms. Beyond dictation, it is adding smart voice notes with summaries and task generation. It targets privacy-conscious writers, developers, and professionals wanting a free alternative to paid dictation tools.

Meetingflow is an AI meeting assistant aimed at sales teams selling to enterprise, distributed across multiple channels including a Chrome extension, a Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 add-on via AppSource, and a Slack integration, in addition to a web application. It records and transcribes meetings and generates AI summaries, but its emphasis is on the full sales workflow: preparing for calls, staying engaged during them, and following up afterward. A notable capability is the ability to chat with a meeting transcript using AI, allowing users to ask questions such as recapping a call, identifying objections, or drafting a proposal or follow-up email based on what was discussed. Meetingflow connects to CRMs including Salesforce and HubSpot, enabling one-click updates and meeting logging so that notes and outcomes flow into the systems sales teams already use. It also supports collaborative notes without recording for situations where capture is not appropriate. The product highlights security and compliance credentials such as SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and CCPA. Meetingflow is positioned for sellers and revenue teams who want preparation, capture, AI querying, and CRM follow-up combined in one assistant rather than transcription alone. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
