Genio, formerly known as Glean, is an assistive note-taking platform that helps students capture and learn from lectures and classes. It records class audio and provides live captions during the session, then generates a full transcript afterward, letting students focus on understanding rather than frantically writing notes. Genio lets learners add their own notes, organize material with AI-generated outlines, import slides and reading material, and review with study features such as quizzing, tying recorded audio together with class content. The platform is widely used by students, including learners with specific learning difficulties, and is adopted by educational institutions that provide it as a study and accessibility support tool. It works online or offline across devices, which suits classroom and lecture-hall environments. Genio is positioned as a mainstream learning tool that also supports accessibility needs. It is actively operating in 2025 and 2026, reporting use by well over a hundred thousand students and more than a thousand institutions, with active sign-in, pricing, and ongoing product development. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

HubSpot Meeting Notetaker is a meeting-capture feature built into HubSpot's Sales Hub and Service Hub, designed for revenue and customer-facing teams that run their pipeline and contacts inside HubSpot. The Notetaker automatically joins eligible meetings booked through connected calendars or HubSpot scheduling pages on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom, announcing its presence and recording the call. After the meeting, it produces a video recording, a transcript using automatic language detection, an AI-generated summary, and suggested next steps. Its central advantage is the CRM tie-in: when a meeting ends, the Notetaker creates a call object in HubSpot and associates it with the corresponding contact, company, or deal, so the recording, transcript, and summary appear directly on the relevant CRM records without manual logging. Meetings become eligible when stored in HubSpot with at least one external CRM contact attending. Recordings are retained for a defined period. The feature is aimed at sales and service teams that want call documentation and follow-ups captured automatically against their CRM data rather than in a standalone notetaking app. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
