Why tl;dv
tl;dv is an AI-powered meeting recorder and notetaker that works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams to produce searchable transcripts, summaries and action items. It suits sales, customer-success, product and marketing teams who run frequent video meetings and want automatic notes and follow-ups. Notes can be synced to CRMs and other tools for integrated workflows.
What it does
tl;dv is an AI notetaker for video meetings. It records calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, transcribes them in more than 30 languages, and writes a summary in the format you choose. Afterwards it can log the call to your CRM, draft a follow-up email and suggest next steps.
On top of single calls it adds multi-meeting reports. You can ask a question across many calls, such as which objections came up this week, and get an answer built from the recordings.
Why you would need it
You feel the pain after the third call of the day. The notes are half-written, the CRM is not updated, and what the customer said is already blurring. The details that matter, a budget hint or a competitor name, get lost, and the next person on the account starts from scratch.
A notetaker fixes the memory problem. The record is complete, searchable and shareable. Your attention stays on the conversation, which is where the deal is won.
Where it fits
tl;dv sits between your calendar and video tool on one side and your CRM and team chat on the other. It connects to HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho, to Slack and Microsoft Teams, and to task tools such as ClickUp, Asana, Jira and Monday.com. It also reaches thousands of apps through Zapier.
It replaces manual note-taking and a basic recorder. It does not replace your CRM or a full conversation-intelligence suite.
What stands out
- A free plan with no time limit, so a small team can try it on real calls.
- Custom AI note formats, for example a sales methodology template or a summary in another language.
- Insights across many meetings, which turns a pile of recordings into themes for sales, product and marketing.
- An official MCP server and a public API with webhooks, so your own tools and AI assistants can read the library.
My take
I like the combination of a free start and a clear route to CRM logging. For a small team, the value is not the recording itself but the habit it removes: nobody has to write up the call.
What I would check is privacy and consent. A recording tool is only as good as the trust of the people on the call. Agree a rule on when to record, tell guests, and check where the data is stored. The vendor states EU hosting and GDPR compliance, but read the terms for your own case.
Verdict
Pick tl;dv if your team runs many customer calls on Zoom, Meet or Teams and wants notes and CRM updates automated. Skip it if you mostly use other meeting platforms, or if you need a large conversation-intelligence contract with deal forecasting.

Before you choose
Check what the free plan includes
The free plan is a good way to start, but its limits on meeting history and AI notes are real. Run it on a week of real calls and see whether you hit them. The pricing page is rendered in the browser, so read it live before you decide.

API and MCP depend on the plan
The public API is in an alpha version, so expect changes, and it is available from the Pro plan upwards, not on Free. The same goes for the read-only MCP server. If automation is the reason you buy, check the plan first.
Consent and compliance
Recording customers needs clear consent, and rules differ by country. Decide who tells guests, where recordings are stored and how long you keep them. Admins can also limit MCP access, which is worth settling before you connect an AI assistant.
Compare the alternatives
Meeting notetakers overlap a lot. Fireflies, Fathom, Otter, Read AI and Granola are the obvious ones to try. For heavy sales coaching and forecasting, look at Gong. Compare them on CRM logging quality and on how well you can search across calls.
