Shortlist Carv when transcribing and summarizing candidate interviews hands-free matters most, and TeamsMaestro when capturing action items from recurring teams meetings matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

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.

TeamsMaestro, from Maestro Labs, is an AI meeting assistant built specifically for Microsoft Teams. Its bot joins Teams calls a few minutes before they start based on your calendar, or it can be invited manually by adding teams@maestrolabs.com as a participant. During the meeting it listens to the conversation and then automatically generates structured meeting summaries with key discussion points, and it identifies action items so teams can track follow-up tasks. The tool supports more than 20 languages, detecting the spoken language and providing summaries accordingly. Meeting notes are stored within the Teams workspace and shared by email to participants, keeping the workflow close to where Teams users already work. TeamsMaestro is described as Microsoft Attested and is available across desktop, mobile, and web on Windows and macOS. Because it is purpose-built for Teams rather than spanning many platforms, it is well suited to organizations standardized on Microsoft Teams that want automated transcription, summaries, and action-item capture without manual note-taking. A free tier with a limited number of monthly meeting notes is offered alongside paid options. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
