How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist AmpUp when sales orgs wanting coaching on every call instead of a small reviewed sample matters most, and StenoAI when generating diarized live transcripts during zoom, teams, or meet calls on a mac matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

AmpUp is an AI sales coaching and conversation intelligence platform for revenue teams that aims to coach on every call rather than a small sample. Its native notetaker joins meetings automatically across dialer, video, and phone, producing clean structured transcripts, and it can also ingest conversation data from existing platforms such as Gong, Chorus, Fireflies, Fathom, and Granola. The platform organizes coaching around several components: Sales Brain analyzes interaction patterns to identify winning behaviors versus performance gaps; Atlas delivers meeting-prep briefs before calls and coaching debriefs immediately after; Skill Lab generates practice scenarios based on real objections from the current pipeline; and the Notetaker feeds call data back into the coaching loop. AmpUp targets sales coaching at scale, deal execution and pipeline progression, rep onboarding and ramp acceleration, knowledge transfer across teams, and meeting prep with post-call analysis. Because it can sit on top of an existing conversation-intelligence stack or capture calls directly, it can serve as a dedicated coaching layer for teams that already record calls elsewhere. AmpUp is a live, operating product in 2025/2026 and is positioned as a sales/meeting tool rather than a contact-center QA system. Pricing varies by plan.

StenoAI (Steno) is an open-source desktop application that records meetings, transcribes them in real time, and generates AI-powered summaries while keeping all data local on the user's device. It positions itself as a privacy-first meeting notes tool with no cloud processing, no subscriptions, and no bots joining calls, and it is distributed under the MIT license with an actively maintained release history (v0.5.4 in June 2026). On Apple Silicon it can use the Parakeet TDT v3 model for live transcription, and it also supports Whisper models, capturing both system audio and microphone input via a native Core Audio Tap on recent macOS versions so it works across platforms like Zoom, Teams, Meet, Discord, and phone calls without OAuth integrations. During recording it shows live speaker labels distinguishing the user from others, and it supports 25 European languages for live transcription with up to 99 languages available via Whisper after recording. Summaries are produced with local LLMs through Ollama (for example Llama 3.2, Gemma, or Qwen), with optional remote Ollama server support to run larger models on a separate machine, and both transcripts and summaries can be exported as editable Markdown. A Windows build is in alpha alongside the primary macOS app. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
