When it comes to AI meeting tools, many platforms promise efficiency, automation, and intelligence. But not all deliver on those promises, especially if your goal is to streamline workflows, reduce friction, and take faster action from your meetings.
Executive Summary
tl;dv is a solid browser based meeting recording and note taking tool designed for collaboration, interviews, and documentation.
Radiant, however, takes a very different approach. It does not record meetings or provide playback libraries. Instead, it runs as a native Mac application that captures conversations for transcripts, summaries, and actionable suggestions. Everything is stored locally for maximum privacy, and the focus is not on memory but on momentum. Radiant helps you draft follow ups, tasks, and documents and then opens them in your tools such as Gmail, Slack, Linear, or Google Docs for completion.
