Assistive note-taking tool (formerly Glean) that records and transcribes lectures and classes for students.
AI notetaker and recruiting platform that joins interviews to auto-generate structured interview notes and feedback.
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.

Metaview is an AI recruiting platform built specifically around the hiring interview as a meeting type. Its notetaker joins recruiting and hiring-manager calls, transcribes the conversation, and produces structured interview notes and summaries the moment the call ends, so interviewers can focus on the candidate instead of writing things down. The notes can be shaped to match a team's interview templates and scorecards, and the platform also supports bulk import of transcripts captured elsewhere. Beyond the notetaker, Metaview has expanded into a broader recruiting workflow that includes candidate search, reporting and analytics on hiring conversations, and AI agents for sourcing and screening, all with human oversight. It is used by recruiters, hiring managers, and executive-search and agency teams ranging from startups to large enterprises. For directory purposes, the core relevance is its interview-specific meeting capture: instead of generic meeting notes, it generates recruiting-oriented documentation tied to the structure of a hiring conversation, helping teams keep candidate feedback consistent and avoid chasing interviewers for write-ups. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
