# Notetaking AI: Free Notes From Meetings, PDFs, Videos URL: https://aginsi.com/lp/notetaking-ai Type: landing Locale: en Published: 2026-10-02 Updated: 2026-10-04 --- > A notetaking AI should keep the source behind every note. See how TicNote handles meetings, PDFs and videos in one project, with real pricing and honest limits. *Free to start* ## Notetaking AI That Keeps Your Sources A notetaking AI should turn meetings, PDFs and videos into notes you can trace back. Start free with TicNote, no bot invited. ## Built for people who need the receipts Most notetaking AI stops at a summary. These are the parts that matter when the note has to hold up later. ### Transcription without a bot A Chrome extension captures Google Meet, Teams and Zoom audio directly, so nobody sees an extra participant join the call. ### One project, many sources Meetings, PDFs and YouTube videos sit in the same project, so questions are answered from all of it together. ### Claims link to sources Outputs keep clickable references to the moment or passage they came from, which makes checking a quick habit. ### Files, not just text The Shadow agent builds exportable files from your sources: slide decks, HTML reports, dashboards and mind maps. ### 120 transcription languages Record in one language and read the result in another, with translation built into the same workspace. ### Export to your own tools TicNote Web exports to Notion and Obsidian, so the notes can live inside the knowledge base you already keep. ## From recording to usable notes 1. **Create a project** — Name it after the question you are answering, a client briefing or a literature review, not after a date. Everything related lives there. 2. **Add sources** — Record a call with the extension, upload audio, or import a PDF or video. Each source is transcribed or read and stored in the project. 3. **Ask, then verify** — Request a summary, a decision list or a report. Open the linked source behind any claim that will leave your desk. 4. **Generate and export** — Ask the agent for slides, a calendar or a dashboard, then export what you need to Notion, Obsidian or a file. *For consultants and managers* ## Turn a week of calls into one briefing A consultant who sits through six client calls in a week rarely lacks material. What is missing is the thread between them. With every call recorded into one project, a single question such as what did the client commit to, and when returns an answer drawn from all six, with the original moment attached. The briefing note then reflects what was said instead of what was remembered on Friday afternoon. - Decisions and commitments pulled across calls - Each answer linked to the recording moment - A slide deck or report generated from the same project *For researchers and analysts* ## Put the interview and the report in one place Spoken and written material usually live in separate tools, which is why the connection between them gets lost. A project that holds an interview recording, the PDF it refers to and a related video lets you ask where the two disagree. That is a useful question for an analyst writing a note, and an easier one to answer when nothing has to be copied between apps. - Audio, PDF and video side by side - Contradictions surfaced rather than smoothed over - Sources stay clickable in the output ## Where this kind of notetaking AI fits | Criterion | Source-based workspace (TicNote) | Transcript-only recorder | Typed notes app with AI | |---|---|---|---| | Captures meetings | Yes, via Chrome extension | Yes | Usually no | | Imports PDFs and videos | Yes, in the same project | Rarely | Sometimes, as attachments | | Claims link to sources | Yes | Timestamps only | Rarely | | Generates files (slides, reports) | Yes, through the Shadow agent | No | Limited | | Free tier | 300 minutes a month | Usually capped minutes | Usually capped storage | | Main limit | Best output needs a clear prompt | No synthesis across sources | No audio capture | ## Start free, pay when you hit the ceiling ### Free — $0/mo - 300 transcription minutes a month - Web recordings up to 30 minutes - 30 document summary requests a month - Mind map, translation and live transcription - Basic summary templates ### Professional — $199/year - 1,500 transcription minutes a month - Recordings up to 3 hours - 3,000 Shadow credits a month - 300 document summary requests a month - Advanced and custom templates ### Business — $399/year - 6,000 transcription minutes a month - Recordings up to 8 hours - 8,000 Shadow credits a month - 1,000 document summary requests a month - Extra credit packs available ## Common questions about notetaking AI ### What is the best notetaking AI for meetings and documents together? It depends on where your material lives. If most of it is spoken (calls, interviews, briefings) and part of it is written (PDFs, reports, videos), a source-based workspace like TicNote fits, because both end up in one project. If you only read documents, a document-first tool is simpler. Pick by the source you capture most. ### Does TicNote join my calls as a bot? No. It captures audio through a Chrome extension on Google Meet, Teams and Zoom, so no extra participant appears in the call. Check your own consent and recording rules before you record anyone, with or without a bot. ### Is there a free plan, and what are its limits? Yes. The free plan gives 300 transcription minutes per month, web recordings capped at 30 minutes, and 30 document summary requests per month. Shadow credits, which power the advanced agent, start on paid plans or with a linked TicNote device. ### How accurate is AI transcription, and can I check a claim? No transcript is perfect, especially with accents, crosstalk or jargon. What matters is whether you can verify. TicNote keeps outputs linked to their sources, so a claim in a report points back to the moment it came from. Treat that link as your proofreading tool. ### Which languages does it support? TicNote advertises transcription in 120 languages, plus translation and a mind map view. Quality varies by language and audio quality, so test one real recording in your language before committing a team to it. ### Can I move my notes into Notion or Obsidian? Yes. TicNote Web supports export to Notion and Obsidian, which matters if you already keep a personal knowledge base. You can also generate files from a project, such as slides or an HTML report, and keep those separately. ### Is a notetaking AI worth paying for? Pay when the free minutes run out, not before. Run two real weeks on the free plan. If you hit the 300 minute ceiling or need recordings longer than 30 minutes, the Professional plan (3 hours per recording, 1,500 minutes) is the natural next step. ### How is this different from just using a chatbot? A chatbot keeps scattered conversations. A source-based workspace keeps your recordings, PDFs and videos in a project, so every answer draws on the same material and can be traced back. That traceability is the practical difference when you need to cite something later. ## Try it on your next meeting The free plan gives you 300 minutes to test on real material. No device needed. *Call to action: Try TicNote free* ## FAQ ### What is the best notetaking AI for meetings and documents together? It depends on where your material lives.
