How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Efficlose when recording calls without a visible bot via the chrome extension matters most, and Screenpipe when building a searchable, private record of meetings and screen activity to recall past discussions and decisions matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Screenpipe is an open, local-first desktop app that records your screen and audio, transcribes calls on-device with Whisper, and auto-generates meeting summaries with action items.
Efficlose is an AI meeting platform that captures, transcribes, and summarizes conversations through a combination of a Chrome extension, a desktop app, and a web platform. Its Chrome extension is positioned as a way to record meetings without a bot joining the call, capturing audio locally in the browser so no extra participant is announced or shown in the meeting; users can choose to capture a single tab, a specific window, or the full screen, and start or stop recording manually rather than relying on calendar triggers. For users who prefer automated joining, the desktop app and platform can connect to a calendar and send a bot to scheduled meetings on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Recordings are transcribed automatically with speaker identification, and the platform generates summaries with key decisions, next steps, and assigned action items. It also offers meeting search across past recordings and an AI assistant for querying conversations, plus integrations with business tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, and Notion. Efficlose is aimed at teams across sales, customer success, recruiting, engineering, and project management who want flexible recording options and structured meeting outputs synced into their existing tools. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

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.
