Shortlist Carv when transcribing and summarizing candidate interviews hands-free matters most, and CreateWise AI when creating short social clips from long-form audio or video matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

Carv is an AI platform for recruiters that records, transcribes, and takes notes during interviews, intake calls, and hiring meetings so recruiters can stay present in the conversation rather than typing notes. During candidate interviews it captures a full verbatim transcript, flags any planned questions that went unanswered at the end of the call, and uses the transcript to auto-generate a candidate profile. For intake calls with hiring managers, Carv captures the requirements discussed and can automatically draft a job description in the recruiter's own style and tone of voice. Beyond note-taking, Carv positions itself as an agentic recruiting assistant that takes over repetitive administrative work, from document creation to updating the applicant tracking system, and includes an AI companion that carries context about how the user works. The platform integrates with ATS and HR systems and offers analytics and insights across recruiting activity. By turning recruiting conversations into structured notes, profiles, and documents, Carv aims to cut down on coordination and admin time so recruiters can focus on connecting with candidates and hiring managers. 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.
