What really sets it apart? The core feature is that easy one-click recording right in your browser, capturing audio and video without messing with Google's built-in stuff. It transcribes with solid accuracy using their own engine, which catches nuances like accents better than most. Then, the AI kicks in to create summaries customized for your needs-say, pulling action items from a sales call or key insights from an interview.
And get this, it supports over 18 languages, which has been a game-changer for my international chats. Plus, everything's encrypted, so privacy isn't an issue. I was surprised how fast the notes appear, usually in minutes, and you can edit them on the fly.
Who benefits most:
Remote workers and sales teams top the list; I've seen reps use it to review client objections without replaying hours of footage. Managers love it for team huddles, extracting tasks to keep projects moving. Educators record lectures for absentees, generating quick study guides. Consultants and journalists?
They turn raw interviews into organized docs fast. Even in my freelance world, transcribing coaching sessions has streamlined my follow-ups-no more scribbling madly. Compared to Otter or Fireflies, Bluedot's laser focus on Google Meet means smoother setup, no clunky bots needed. The AI notes feel more personalized, not just bland bullets, and the freemium model lets you dip in without commitment.
Sure, it's Chrome-only for now, but for Meet users, that's fine. Unlike some that charge per minute, this scales affordably without surprises. Bottom line, if video calls are draining you-especially post-pandemic with hybrid work booming-give Bluedot a try. Start with the free plan; I bet you'll wonder how you managed without it.
It's not perfect, but in my experience, it transforms chaos into clarity pretty darn quick.
