  • MCP connector and REST API make notes usable in AI assistants and custom workflows
  • Documented SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and an Enterprise tier with SSO, SCIM and HIPAA workspaces

Cons

  • Free plan limits viewing to 30 days of meeting history and excludes pre-meeting briefs, follow-up emails and API access
  • API and most integrations require the $14 Business plan or higher
  • Reviewers report AI summaries can compress nuance or overstate decisions, so notes need review

Cons

  • Free generations are public and the daily allowance is small

  • Unlimited relaxed video generation needs the $60 Ultimate plan
