AI meeting notetakers — summaries and action items without the cleanup

Granola, Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, Read.AI, tl;dv, Limitless, Plaud, Notta. Bots-in-the-meeting, on-device capture, and wearable pendants side by side.

Typical queries: “best AI meeting notes”, “Fireflies vs Otter”, “Granola alternative”. Capture styles differ: bots that join calls, on-device audio capture, and physical wearables.
