AI study platform that turns recorded or uploaded lectures into notes, flashcards, and practice quizzes for students.
Cirrus Insight is a Salesforce-centric sales productivity platform that pairs CRM email/calendar sync and sales-acceleration tools with a Conversation Intelligence and Meeting AI capability aimed at customer-facing teams. Its meeting bot sits in calls as an attendee, captures video, transcribes conversations word-for-word in real time, and produces post-meeting insights, draft follow-up emails, and suggested next steps. It also offers pre-meeting briefs that pull attendee and company context from sources like Salesforce, public web data, and third-party datasets (the separate Meeting AI feature focuses specifically on this pre-meeting research), plus live in-meeting coaching and answers on the fly. Captured contacts, conversations, and company data are written back automatically to Salesforce, which is the platform's primary integration; it also works alongside Gmail and Outlook inboxes. Because recording and transcription are delivered as part of a broader sales/CRM suite rather than a standalone notetaker, it best fits teams already standardized on Salesforce. The company says it serves 50,000+ customer-facing teams. Pricing is modular and quote-based: seats can be purchased per feature, no public dollar figures or named tiers are listed, and a survey or demo is required for exact figures.

Knowt is an AI-powered study platform built primarily for students and teachers that converts lectures and learning materials into organized study resources. Students can record a lecture live in the app or on the website, or upload existing audio, video, PDFs, and slide decks, and the platform's AI assistant (called Kai) generates summarized notes, flashcards, and practice quizzes from the content. Notes can be formatted as outlines or paragraphs, with adjustable detail levels, and the original audio is saved for reference. Beyond capture and transcription-driven summarization, Knowt functions as a broader study workspace, positioning itself as a free alternative to traditional flashcard apps and offering a large library of community-shared study materials. It also includes teacher-facing features for assigning material and tracking student progress. The tool spans web, iOS, and Android, making it usable across classroom, online-course, and self-study settings. Knowt is aimed at learners who want lecture capture to flow directly into reusable, exam-oriented study artifacts rather than just raw transcripts. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
