CreateWise AI is a web-based AI podcast editor that transcribes audio, generates show notes, and produces social clips from recorded episodes.
Anarlog is an open-source, local-first AI meeting notetaker developed by Fastrepl, Inc., the team behind the project previously known as Hyprnote and Char. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to cloud meeting-notes tools and is designed for people who want to keep meeting data under their own control. Instead of sending a bot into a call, Anarlog captures system audio directly on the user's computer, transcribes it locally, and merges the transcript with short notes the user jots down during the meeting to produce structured, editable summaries with action items. Audio, transcripts, and notes are stored as files on the local disk rather than in an external service, and users can choose between running local AI models or supplying their own API keys for cloud processing. The application is available for Apple Silicon Macs and its codebase is published on GitHub under a GPL license, so it can be inspected, forked, and self-hosted. Anarlog is best for engineers, privacy-conscious professionals, and teams that want bot-free meeting notes with full ownership of their data. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

CreateWise AI is a web-based platform that automates podcast post-production and content repurposing. Users upload an audio or video file, paste a YouTube link, or import via RSS feed, and the tool generates fully editable transcripts with speaker diarization. From a single episode it produces show notes, AI-generated summaries, chapter segmentation formatted for platforms like Spotify and YouTube, SEO-oriented keywords and metadata, and highlight clips sized for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Its AI audio editing detects and removes filler words such as "um" and "uh" along with long silences. The product is aimed at podcasters, content creators, and marketing teams who want to turn long-form recordings into multiple distribution-ready assets with minimal manual editing. It is offered as a self-serve web application with a free tier and paid subscription plans. Note that CreateWise focuses on recorded podcast audio rather than live meetings; it does not join video calls or provide a real-time meeting recording bot, but its transcription and notes capabilities overlap with the meeting-assistant category.
