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.

VoicePen is a voice-first AI note taker built natively for the Apple ecosystem, running across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. The app records and transcribes spoken audio into text, handling everything from short memos to long lectures, meetings, podcasts, and imported recordings. Once a recording is transcribed, VoicePen uses AI to generate easy-to-read summaries, structured notes, and study materials, and it offers a large set of rewrite options to reformat transcripts into bullet points, professional formats, or more casual styles. It can pull in audio and video from sources such as files, Voice Memos, Zoom recordings, podcasts, and YouTube, and it separates and labels different speakers within a transcript. A chat feature lets users ask questions about the transcribed content to surface key takeaways and action steps. VoicePen supports many languages, includes offline recording, and syncs data through iCloud, positioning itself as a personal second-brain capture tool for individuals who think and work by talking rather than typing. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
