I've been researching an AI Notetaker that can be used for in-person meetings. I already use Fathom for the bulk of my Zoom/Google Meet meetings, but I was looking for something else to automatically record and take notes for an in-person meeting or conference. I've looked at Pocket, Auro, Comulytic, Plaud, and Honeybook. I know there are others. I'm really looking for recommendations of devices that really work similarly to the way Fathom works for Zoom. I decided to ask here since we are all using AI in many ways. Some of the devices look great until you read the reviews. Hoping you can chime in and provide your thoughts. Thanks so much!

Hello, im a newbie

Using this reference photo, keep the face and hair exactly the same. Create a luxury travel portrait on a white stone terrace in Santorini, Greece, overlooking the deep blue ocean and iconic white architecture. The person is standing relaxed near a railing, enjoying the view with a peaceful, confident expression. Mood feels expansive, calm, and elevated. Lighting is soft golden sunlight, either early morning or late afternoon, creating warm highlights on the face and a gentle glow on the skin. Shot on a Nikon Z8, 85mm lens, eye-level angle, shallow depth of field with a softly blurred ocean backdrop. Style is high-end travel lifestyle photography, bright, airy, and aspirational.

In 2025, I’ve been as transparent as possible. I’ve told you about my personal wins and losses, but I’ve also told you about the burnout. At 320 hrs, I hit a wall so hard I got depressed for a weekend and didn't even go to dinner for Thanksgiving with my family. Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to ignore the fake Gurus on social media who claim they made millions but never show you the struggle, the grief, and the difficult setbacks that happen daily behind the scenes. I know many of you are working 9-5 jobs. You see me clocking 400 hours since the Summit on Nov 6th and you think, "I can't do that." You’re right. Maybe you can't. Everyone is different! I am in a position to spend this amount of time to explore and learn at a faster rate, and I know not everyone has that kind of time right now. I am building a company from the ground up, so I have the "luxury" of obsession. But I would really luv everyone to save real time by learning from my mistakes. But here is the COLD HARD TRUTH: You cannot build a 2026 life with 2020 habits. Whether you have 40 hours a week or 40 minutes a day, if you are doing manual data entry or writing emails from scratch, you are dragging an anchor. As a former Marine, I treat this like a battlefield: We either adapt or we die. It's that simple. Let AI pull the weight. Let’s be honest: Learning AI is easier said than done! What I learned in 2025 was that it takes consistent discipline and awareness to use it efficiently. You will have setbacks, especially if you start vibe coding. You won't save time in the beginning! You will spend time learning the AI curve. I lost about 100 hours to headaches and setbacks. But being obsolete in 2 years is a struggle I refuse to accept. I chose the struggle of study and using AI over the struggle of regret. Does the grind work? YES, In fact, just 15 days after the AI Summit on November 6th, 2025, I acquired an investor/partner who saw the value in the AI workflows I was building. We opened a joint account, and I was funded in less than 30 days—not because I asked for money, but because the AI output was undeniable. In just two months, I still use both main LLMs, but for my "brain work" I switched from ChatGPT to Gemini Pro and took advantage of googles ecosystem which is better in my opinion!
