In their words

ChatGPT“The best alternatives to Zoom AI Companion depend on whether you want better meeting summaries, more accurate transcription, automatic action items, CRM integrations, or an AI note-taker that works across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.”
Claude“Zoom AI Companion, Google Gemini in Meet, Microsoft Teams Copilot — If you're standardized on one platform, these may be free with your existing plan and avoid another vendor/security review.”
Gemini“For recruiters running interviews, standard AI note-takers (like Otter or standard Zoom AI) usually fall short because they just summarize text.”
