TicNote is notetaking AI that turns recordings, PDFs, and videos into files you can actually use. *For meetings, not just links* ## Notetaking AI That Builds Real Files Meetings pile up the same way articles do. TicNote turns recordings, PDFs, and videos into files you can actually use, not another summary to skim. ## What changes when notes become files ### Capture without a bot A Chrome extension listens on Google Meet, Teams, or Zoom. Nothing joins your call as a visible guest. ### One project, three sources Meetings, PDFs, and YouTube videos sit side by side. The AI reads across all of them at once. ### Real files, not walls of text Shadow Agent turns a project into a report, a slide deck, or a dashboard, ready to send, not reread. ### Every claim links back Click a line in the output and jump to the exact moment it came from. Nothing to take on faith. ### 120 languages transcribed Recordings in most working languages come out as clean, searchable text within minutes. ### Searchable meeting history Stop scrolling old recordings to find one decision. Search the text instead of reliving the call. ## The numbers behind the backlog - **11.3 hrs/week** — average time a knowledge worker spends in meetings - **75%** — of professionals now use an AI note-taker at work - **62%** — of AI meeting-assistant users report saving 4+ hours a week - **50%** — of holdouts cite privacy as the reason they skip it *The meeting problem* ## Meetings pile up like unread articles A call ends and the notes live in three places: a shared doc nobody finishes, a voice memo nobody replays, a memory that fades by Friday. TicNote's Chrome extension listens on Meet, Teams, or Zoom without joining as a visible bot, then hands back a transcript in up to 120 languages. Search it. Quote it. Never scroll a recording again to find one sentence someone said in passing. - No bot invited to the call - Transcript searchable within minutes - Works across Meet, Teams, and Zoom *The deliverable problem* ## One project turns into a real file The harder problem is not capturing the meeting. It is turning six sources, three calls, two PDFs, one YouTube keynote, into something a client or a teammate can actually open. Shadow Agent reads everything inside a project and produces an actual file: an editorial calendar, an interactive dashboard, a slide deck, a strategic report with citations that click back to their source. Not a summary you still have to rewrite by hand. - PDFs and YouTube videos as sources - Slides, dashboards, and reports as output - Every citation clickable to its source ## TicNote vs. plain transcription tools | Feature | TicNote | Otter.ai | Notion AI | |---|---|---|---| | Meetings, PDFs, and YouTube as one project | Yes | No | No | | Generates real files (slides, dashboards, reports) | Yes | No | Partial | | No bot joins the call | Yes | No | N/A | | Clickable source citations | Yes | No | No | | Up to 120-language transcription | Yes | Partial | N/A | ## Simple pricing, honest limits ### Free — $0/mo - 300 minutes of transcription per month - Meetings, PDFs, and YouTube as sources - Chrome extension, no bot invited - Searchable transcripts ### Pro — $15/mo - Unlimited meeting transcription - Shadow Agent: generate reports, slides, dashboards - Clickable citations back to the source - Up to 120-language transcription ## Common questions ### What is notetaking AI supposed to do that a normal recorder does not? A plain recorder gives you an audio file and nothing else. Notetaking AI like TicNote transcribes it, files it inside a project with your other sources, and can turn the whole project into a document you can send: a report, a deck, a recap with timestamps. ### Does TicNote listen to my calls through a bot in the meeting? No. A Chrome extension captures audio directly from Google Meet, Teams, or Zoom on your own device. No separate bot account joins the call as a visible participant, which matters for anyone who has ever had a client ask who invited it. ### Can I add a PDF or a YouTube video instead of a meeting? Yes. A TicNote project treats meetings, PDFs, and YouTube videos as the same kind of source. The AI reads across all of them together when you ask a question or generate a file, not just the most recent recording. ### How is this different from pasting a transcript into a summarizer? A summarizer hands back a paragraph that lives in a chat window until it scrolls away. TicNote keeps the sources organized in a project and can output an actual file, a slide deck or a dashboard, that survives after the conversation ends. ### What does TicNote actually cost? A free plan includes 300 minutes of transcription a month, enough for occasional use. Paid plans remove that ceiling and unlock Shadow Agent file generation, running from roughly $15 to $29 a month depending on how much you use it. ### How many languages does the transcription support? Up to 120 languages, with accuracy that holds up well for standard business speech. Heavy accents, crosstalk, or a noisy room still reduce quality, the same limitation any transcription tool runs into. ### Do I need to know how to prompt an AI well to get good output? A little helps. A vague request produces a generic file that still needs editing. Naming what the output is for, a client update, an internal recap, a planning deck, gets noticeably sharper results on the first try. ## Stop rewriting your own meetings Free for up to 300 minutes a month.
