tl;dv
tl;dv records, transcribes and summarizes Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls, either through a bot that joins the meeting or through a desktop app for Mac and Windows that captures audio without one. Transcripts and summaries come in more than 30 languages, and note templates range from MEDDIC for sales calls to custom formats. Ask AI answers questions about a single meeting, and multi meeting reports pull objections, feature requests and trends from many calls into a digest delivered to a manager's inbox.
For revenue teams, tl;dv logs call notes and outcomes to the CRM after each call and drafts follow up emails and next step tasks for the rep to review before sending. Managers get coaching tools that track playbook adherence and objection handling, and new hires learn from clips of strong moments in real customer calls. HubSpot, Slack and Notion connect directly, thousands more apps connect through Zapier, and an API and webhooks cover the rest.
Pricing is per seat. The free plan has no time limit, Pro costs $18 per seat per month and Business $29 per seat per month on annual billing, monthly billing costs roughly 40 percent more, and Enterprise is quoted. Each account is meant for one person, with weekly caps of 40, 80 and 120 recordings on Free, Pro and Business.
The company behind tl;dv, tldx Solutions GmbH, is based in Aachen, Germany. Recordings and transcripts are stored in the EU, AI summaries come from Anthropic models on Google Cloud in the EU or the US at the customer's choice, and meeting content never trains AI models. An optional consent step asks participants for permission before the bot joins, and the bot leaves if they decline.

Transcription, translated summaries, playbook tracking, coaching insights, Ask AI and the reports that aggregate many meetings all depend on models. Strip them out and only a meeting recorder would be left. Summaries come from Anthropic models and transcription from AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs.
Call notes and CRM outcomes are logged automatically after each meeting, while follow up emails and next step tasks arrive as drafts for the rep to review and send. With consent collection on, the bot leaves within seconds if a participant declines. How a wrong CRM entry is caught or reversed goes unaddressed.
Summaries run on Anthropic models through Google Cloud Vertex AI, transcription runs through AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs, and customers choose whether AI processing happens in the EU or the US. Metadata is anonymized and meetings are split into shuffled fragments before they reach Anthropic. Telling participants that AI is analyzing the call depends on whether consent collection is switched on.
tl;dv counts more than 2 million users, and its ROI calculator models a $260,000 sales increase rather than measuring one. A Zapier product manager uses recordings as evidence for product decisions. No customer result comes with a population, a period or a definition.
Consent collection replaces the calendar link with a consent page, or sends an email when calendar access is missing, so participants agree or decline before an automatically recorded meeting starts. Bot free recording carries a reminder to inform participants, since platform notices may not appear. The terms still make the user responsible for gathering consent, and which recording laws the feature targets is not set out.
Each kind of personal data carries a stated purpose, retention period, recipient list and lawful basis, a data protection officer handles requests, and subprocessors run from Google Cloud and Hetzner to Anthropic and AssemblyAI. Email addresses of meeting participants who are not users are kept for five years under legitimate interest, with access for marketing and sales teams. EU transfers rest on standard contractual clauses and, alongside them, on the EU US Privacy Shield, a framework struck down in 2020.
Everything tl;dv works from is the customer's own: meeting audio and video, uploaded recordings, and the calendar and CRM data a user connects. No outside contact data is added. Participant email addresses are used to collect consent and to link meetings to people who later sign up.
The notetaker joins Zoom, Meet and Teams as a visible participant, and the desktop app records system audio without one. Consent collection edits calendar events to swap in a consent link, with the user's calendar permission. How desktop capture fits each meeting platform's own recording rules is not addressed.
Customer content is never used to train, fine tune or improve any model, by tl;dv or by its AI providers, and Anthropic only ever sees anonymized fragments. Recordings and transcripts are kept for three months on the free plan and until account deletion on paid plans. Staff open recordings only when the user grants access for support.
With consent collection on, participants see a consent page or email before the bot joins and can turn recording off, and the bot itself is visible in the call. The feature is optional and covers only automatically recorded meetings, and desktop recording may run without any platform notice. EU AI Act compliance is asserted with no stated position on Article 50 disclosure.
CRMs, Slack, Notion, project tools, calendars and storage apps connect natively, with integrations built on the Paragon platform, and Zapier extends the list to thousands of apps. An API and webhooks are available on paid plans. Which CRM objects and fields receive notes and outcomes is not spelled out.
Data is stored on Wasabi in Germany and processed on Google Cloud and dedicated Hetzner servers in Germany and Finland. AI processing runs in Google Cloud regions in the EU or the US, depending on the customer's setting, and a privately hosted AI option is available on request. Tenancy for customer data goes unaddressed.
tl;dv holds a SOC 2 Type II report covering security, privacy, availability and confidentiality, with the report available under NDA through a Vanta trust center. Data is encrypted with AES 256 and production infrastructure is scanned regularly, with a 24 hour response to reported vulnerabilities. Penetration testing cadence and audit dates are not given.
Free has no time limit, Pro costs $18 per seat per month and Business $29 on annual billing, with monthly billing about 40 percent higher, and Enterprise is quoted. Business has fallen from $59 per seat in 2024. Weekly recording caps and concurrent recording limits are set per plan.
Recordings and transcripts can be downloaded, and the API reads meeting data out. Closing an account may destroy its content, with tl;dv promising only to try to give notice before it terminates an account. No export window or deletion timeline after termination is given, and fees are not refunded.
Follow up emails are drafted for the rep to send, and consent requests can go to participants by email when calendar access is missing. Neither comes with sending limits or reputation controls, since tl;dv does not send outreach on a customer's behalf.
Use cases target sales managers and reps, customer success, product, marketing and leadership. Transcription covers more than 30 languages and the app is localized in seven. The share of revenue teams among more than 2 million users is not given.
