Shortlist Cirrus Insight when recording, transcribing, and summarizing sales calls and customer meetings matters most, and Screenpipe when building a searchable, private record of meetings and screen activity to recall past discussions and decisions matters most.

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.

Screenpipe is a local-first, source-available desktop application that continuously captures your screen and audio to build a private, searchable AI memory of your computer activity. For meetings, it records microphone and system audio in the background and transcribes in real time using OpenAI's Whisper model running locally, so calls from any app that plays through your speakers, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles, are captured without a bot joining the call. It supports speaker diarization and many languages. When a meeting ends, a meeting-summary pipe can generate structured notes, including a short bullet summary, action items per person, and decisions plus next steps, and write them to destinations such as Obsidian, Notion, or Apple Notes. Because capture, text extraction, transcription, and search can run entirely offline, data stays in a local database on your device, with options to redact PII and exclude specific apps or windows. Screenpipe also runs as an MCP server, letting AI assistants query your history. It is aimed at engineers, researchers, and privacy-conscious professionals. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
