How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist BuildBetter when product teams aggregating customer-call insights into jira, linear, or notion matters most, and DepoIQ when insurers, tpas, and special investigation units reviewing euos and claim records for inconsistencies matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

DepoIQ is an AI platform that transcribes and analyzes legal depositions and Examinations Under Oath, turning testimony into structured, searchable claims intelligence.
BuildBetter offers BB Recorder, a no-bot meeting recorder that captures meetings by recording system audio directly on the device rather than sending a bot into the call. On macOS it can run as a menu-bar (notch-style) recorder, a floating overlay, or a full-window app, and it includes smart auto-detection that begins recording when it detects a call. Recording, transcription, summarization, and even a live AI assistant for asking questions during a call can run locally using on-device models, so notes and transcripts can stay on the user's machine. Users can optionally upload recordings to BuildBetter's cloud for enhanced transcripts with speaker diarization, AI-powered summaries, and team collaboration. The broader BuildBetter platform is oriented toward product teams and customer-facing roles, helping aggregate insights across many calls and route them into tools such as Jira, Linear, and Notion. BB Recorder is available on macOS as well as iOS and Android. It is aimed at product, sales, customer success, and support teams that want privacy-conscious local capture with the option to escalate to cloud-based team features. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

DepoIQ is an AI-powered claims and litigation intelligence platform built around legal depositions and Examinations Under Oath (EUOs). It ingests recorded testimony alongside medical records and billing documents, organizing them into a unified, searchable claim file. The platform captures testimony through uploaded transcripts and video, and also supports remote examinations conducted over Zoom with real-time transcription via its Examination Hub. From this material, DepoIQ generates structured summaries with page-line references, automatically flags contradictions and admissions, and connects testimony patterns across claimants, witnesses, and experts. Its "Ask DepoIQ" feature lets users run natural-language queries across all depositions, records, and EUOs without manual review. The company describes a proprietary "Large Behavioral Model" that analyzes linguistic, structural, and temporal patterns and extracts behavioral features from video, audio, and natural language to support credibility assessment. DepoIQ is aimed at insurers, third-party administrators, Special Investigation Units, and defense litigation law firms handling complex claims.
