Shortlist Carv when transcribing and summarizing candidate interviews hands-free matters most, and Remi8 when building a searchable personal knowledge base from voice notes matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

AI voice-notes and meeting-recording app positioned as a personal second brain across mobile and desktop.
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.

Remi8 is an AI-powered voice notes and meeting recording application, published by Silent Infotech, that positions itself as a personal second brain for capturing and organizing spoken information. Users record audio with one tap, and Remi8 transcribes the speech and then layers AI on top to produce summaries with action items, identify speakers, and automatically categorize and tag content. Beyond formal meetings, it is built to capture quick voice notes, brainstorming sessions, calls, and personal reminders, and it makes everything searchable through AI-powered search across recordings. The app emphasizes connecting and organizing captured material rather than leaving it as isolated audio files, with features like smart reminders and cloud sync across devices. Remi8 is aimed at busy professionals such as founders, consultants, sales staff, project managers, and students who want hands-free capture that turns into structured, retrievable notes. It is available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and the web, and the company also offers a companion pocket hardware recorder for capturing audio away from a phone or computer. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
