| Functionality | 4 <p>It lacks many features, such as audio/video recording and automatic email drafting. This means you have to rely on the transcript for more detailed information if needed.</p> | 7 <p>One standout feature of tl;dv is its ability to analyse multiple meetings, which it does better than some other AI notetakers we've tested. However, it's still limited to summarising content from the transcripts and can't handle questions about anything not mentioned in them, although this data is available through a separate feature outside of the meeting notes.</p><p><br></p><p>The option to set up recurring reports for this analysis adds even more value. The search functionality is powerful, though sometimes slow, and there’s a lot that can be automated through their ready-made Zapier integrations. However, the inability to edit the transcript or speaker labels is a significant drawback.</p> |
| Ease of Use | 3 <p>Jamie is clunky and lacks many quick-access features found in other AI notetakers, such as the ability to click on a point in the summary for more AI-generated detail or be directed to its source in the transcript. As a result, much of the editing for summary notes is manual, as summary regeneration is not possible.</p> | 6 <p>Meetings are easy to set up with tl;dv, and there’s a low learning curve. Recording meetings is simple, and analysing them is straightforward, as you can hover over the recording to view AI insights. Notes can be regenerated in different templates, or more insights can be generated with the help of the AI assistant. The assistant also makes it easy to select multiple meetings for insights or set up recurring reports for them.</p> |
| Look and feel | 2 <p>The design feels clunky and unintuitive. The dark mode UI lacks contrast, making it difficult to distinguish between elements. Navigation is confusing; for instance, clicking the chat button in the navigation bar prompts users to open the Jamie sidebar with a keyboard shortcut—what's the point of that? These kinds of things are common across the app.</p><p><br></p><p>The Meetings overview and the Decisions/Tasks/Participants sections feel cramped, with no option to open meetings on a separate page or view in full-screen mode.</p><p><br></p><p>The sidebar's theme is stuck on dark, even when the rest of the app is on light mode.</p><p><br></p><p>The sidebar itself lacks a close icon, forcing you to use keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, the persistent sidebar is annoying, as it stays above other apps and offers no quick-hide option. Overall, the interface needs significant improvement.</p> | 4 <p>tl;dv is packed with features, but the application isn’t designed in a particularly clean way, often leading to visual bugs. For example, the transcript's word highlighting is difficult to follow, the free tier is cluttered with "upgrade to get ______" prompts, and the spacing and sizing are inconsistent throughout the app.</p> |
| Customisability | 3 <p>Jamie offers limited customisability. You can create templates with custom sections for summary notes, but there's no guarantee they'll appear in the final summary. Beyond that, there’s little control over what Jamie generates.</p> | 6 <p>With the ability to create custom templates and recurring AI reports that summarise meetings based on specific criteria, tl;dv is already ahead of some AI notetakers. The recorder bot's name and profile picture can be customised, though these are features available only on the paid plan. Additionally, you can customise when the meeting recording will be shared and choose whether to notify external participants new to tl;dv that the meeting will be recorded.</p> |
| Ease of Setup | 7 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. No editable note templates, but template creation includes guided input boxes. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. No advanced workflows supported, no Zapier integration or native workflow builder. Requires desktop app installation.</p> | 6 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Few editable note templates, guided input boxes for creating custom templates. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. Advanced workflows require Zapier but lack a rich library of Zapier templates, taking 1-2 hours.</p> |
| Customer Support | 5 <p>There's a "Jamie Help Center" with some quick guides.</p> | 5 <p>It has an in-app chat for support, but it doesn’t offer 24/7 assistance, and it can take up to a day to receive a response from a human agent. Additionally, there are over 100 self-help articles available in the FAQs.</p> |
| Integratability | 1 <p>Only supports connecting to Google or Outlook calendars, nothing else.</p> | 9 <p>It integrates with most major software and offers an extensive list of ready-made Zapier templates for platforms it doesn’t natively support.</p><p><br></p><p>Additionally, it can be integrated with other tools through its tl;dv API, though this feature is only available on the Enterprise plan.</p> |
| Ease of Migration | 4 <p>You can copy and paste or share the summary notes and transcript via a link.</p> | 4 <p>Meetings can be shared via a link or sent to an email address, with adjustable access settings.
