Berrycast is a screen-recording and video-messaging tool that also functions as an AI meeting notes assistant. Users install a browser extension (for Chromium-based browsers and Safari) or a desktop application, then choose a recording mode such as screen plus camera or camera only. Recordings are uploaded to the cloud where Berrycast automatically generates a transcript, detecting more than 60 languages, and its AIWriter feature can produce meeting notes in several formats including key points, bullet summaries, action items, and paragraph-style recaps. Berrycast is designed to work alongside video meetings on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and it records without adding a separate meeting bot. Beyond meeting capture, it supports video trimming, custom thumbnails, HD downloads, transcript downloads, sharing via direct links or email, embedding on websites, and viewer engagement tracking with comments. It is built by Les Technologies Openmind Inc. of Quebec, Canada, and is aimed at individuals and teams who want to record, document, and share meetings and screen-based videos. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
