Overview

Tactiq, founded in 2020, takes a third distinct technical approach within this category's crowded meeting-notes space: rather than a bot joining as a visible participant or software capturing computer audio directly, it's a Chrome extension that reads the live captions a video platform already generates during Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams calls.

That captions-based mechanism means no separate audio processing pipeline and no visible recording participant at all, working directly from text a meeting platform is already producing live. Post-meeting, custom AI prompts let a user extract specific insights beyond a generic summary, and workflow automation pushes results into Slack, Notion, Linear, or HubSpot automatically.

A free tier covers standard use, and paid plans start around $12 a month for more features. For anyone who wants meeting transcription with neither a visible bot nor separate audio recording involved, relying instead on captions the platform already generates, Tactiq's browser-extension, captions-based mechanism is a genuinely different technical approach than the bot- or audio-based tools elsewhere in this category.
