Best AI tools for meetings and notes

Meeting notes tools are one of the few AI products that pay for themselves almost instantly. They record, transcribe and summarise calls so you can stay present and still leave with clear actions.

By Nextward Editorial

Fathom

Free for individuals, with a clean summary format and good integrations. A strong starting point for solo operators and small teams.

Fireflies

More features around search, analytics and team workflows. Useful when several people need access to the same call library.

Otter

Strong on live transcription. Useful for meetings where you want a running text view as people speak.

Zoom and Teams built-in

Both now offer AI summaries inside the call. Good enough for many internal meetings, with no extra tool to manage.

How to choose

Try one for two weeks on every call. If it changes how you prepare and follow up, keep it. If you forget it is there, do not pay for it.
