Coin-sized AI voice recorder by Anker that transcribes and summarizes meetings with key points and 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.

The device supports a large set of languages and stores audio and transcriptions encrypted on-device, sending audio to the cloud only temporarily for transcription.
