Shortlist Genio when university students recording and reviewing lectures matters most, and Vinton when capturing in-person and phone conversations into salesforce records matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.
Assistive note-taking tool (formerly Glean) that records and transcribes lectures and classes for students.
An AI notetaker built natively in Salesforce that captures meetings, transcribes and summarizes them, and syncs the data to Salesforce records.
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.

Vinton is an AI meeting notetaker and conversation intelligence application built exclusively for Salesforce and listed on the Salesforce AppExchange, aimed at sales and service teams that run their workflows inside Sales Cloud or Service Cloud. Vinton captures conversations across virtual meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles, as well as in-person meetings, phone calls, and voice notes. It records and transcribes the discussion, then generates an AI summary, meeting minutes, key topics, suggested next steps, and a draft follow-up email. Because Vinton is native to Salesforce, all of this output is written directly to related records such as Opportunities, Accounts, Contacts, and Cases, and the data can be used in Salesforce flows and automations. Vinton also provides meeting intelligence like speaking-time analysis and coaching tips, plus an Ask Vinton assistant for querying past calls. A separate botless option, Vinton Scribe, runs on the desktop and transcribes a meeting without joining it as a participant, then adds the transcript and AI notes to Salesforce. Vinton is built for revenue teams that want meeting intelligence captured entirely within their Salesforce environment. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
