tl;dv

AI meeting recorder that transcribes, summarizes, and syncs notes to your CRM

Overview

tl;dv sits in the same category as Otter and Fireflies, it records and transcribes meetings so you don't have to take notes live. What sets it apart is how far it pushes past transcription: custom AI prompts let you ask a call for specific things (did the prospect mention budget, what objections came up), and it syncs that straight into your CRM record, useful for sales teams who need call context without digging through a recording.

The free plan is genuinely usable for individuals with unlimited recording, but AI summaries are capped at 10 a month, which is thin for anyone in daily meetings. Pro at $18/seat/month (annual) removes that cap, and Business adds team-wide coaching analytics at a real price jump. If you're mostly recording internal meetings, Pro covers it. If you need coaching dashboards across a sales team, be ready for the Business price.

Key Features

  • Automatic Recording and Transcription: Joins your video calls and transcribes them without a manual bot invite each time.

  • AI Meeting Summaries: Generates a searchable summary of what was discussed and decided.

  • Custom AI Prompts: Ask the AI to pull specific information out of a call, objections, next steps, pricing mentions.

  • CRM Sync: Pushes call notes and summaries directly into tools like HubSpot and Salesforce.

  • Clip and Highlight Reels: Cut key moments from calls to share with the team without sending the full recording.

  • Team Analytics: Talk-time ratios and coaching insights across a team's calls on Business plans.

Pros

  • Strong Free Plan: Unlimited recording and transcription at $0, rare among meeting recorders.

  • Custom AI Prompts: Pull specific answers out of a call transcript instead of reading a generic summary.

  • Deep CRM Integration: Syncs notes into HubSpot, Salesforce, and other CRMs without manual copy-paste.

  • Good Value on Pro: $18/seat/month annual is competitively priced against Otter and Fireflies Pro tiers.

Cons

  • Free AI Summaries Are Capped: Only 10 AI summaries a month on the free plan, easy to burn through in a busy week.

  • Business Tier Is a Big Jump: Roughly 3x the Pro price for coaching analytics and advanced security.

  • Transcription Accuracy Varies: Users report accuracy drops with heavy accents or crosstalk, common across this whole category.

  • Monthly Billing Costs More: Business monthly ($98) versus annual ($59/seat) is a steep discount gap that penalizes month-to-month users.

What Makes It Unique

  • Custom Prompts on Every Call: Unlike most meeting recorders that give a fixed summary template, tl;dv lets you write custom AI prompts to extract exactly the information you need from each call.
