An AI notetaker that joins meetings on more than a dozen apps, writes summaries, and sends notes to your CRM.
A free-forever AI meeting notetaker, with paid tiers that add CRM automation and sales insights across many calls.
tl;dv is an AI meeting notetaker. It records and transcribes meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams in more than 30 languages, then writes notes, timestamped highlights, and action items from each call. Sales teams can have it log call notes and draft follow-up emails instead of writing them by hand. It is made by the company of the same name. Paid tiers add cross-meeting insights that spot trends across many calls, plus coaching reports on how well a sales team follows its playbook. tl;dv says it does not train AI models on customer recordings and hosts data in EU-based, ISO 27001-certified data centers.
This fits a team that wants a full AI notetaker at no upfront cost, since the free plan includes unlimited meetings and AI notes. Move to a paid tier once you need cross-meeting insights or sales coaching reports across a full team. tl;dv does not list exact dollar prices for paid tiers on its main pages, so get written pricing before setting a budget. Its EU-based data centers may suit a company with European data-residency needs better than some US-only competitors. The main risks are common to any bot-based notetaker: transcript quality can be uneven on noisy calls, and you should set a clear policy on which meetings get recorded and who can access the library afterward.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 20 enabled users. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of tl;dv and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
